E-Bikes

I got to ride today but not as much as I had hoped. My son text and wanted to come over mid afternoon after he got off early. I drained one battery and called it a day. It was sixty when I headed out and sixty six degrees when I got home. I rode 39 miles and had a great time. I saw two other cyclists today. One was an older gent I've not seen before and the other was the trike lady that lives in the town South. School was out so I thought I might see a few other riders but I guess they were inside playing games.

NFL 2O25

The Pats and the Ravens had an enjoyable game to watch tonight. I was rooting for NE so the outcome made the game. :) Lamar left the game just before the half with some sort of back injury that was causing definite pain. I just looked and there isn't an update yet as to his injury and projected recovery.
I will say that their backup, Huntley, played a solid game for the Ravens and built up a two possession lead when the Patriots came back and won the game.

Air Fryer Cooking

I air fried some Kroger frozen breaded okra tonight. The net suggested spritzing and frying 15 minutes at 400° with a couple of tosses/stirs. The okra turned out just great and wasn't greasy which is difficult to avoid in stop top frying. 15 minutes wasn't nearly enough time, however. I didn't time it beyond the initial setting but I'm guessing 30 minutes total cook time would be far closer to getting a somewhat crispy breading on the okra without it burning. I'll use the air fryer for okra in the future. It was tasty and much healthier. And there wasn't the skillet of oil to dispose of following the cook.

I saw a more expensive breaded okra in the freezer case that was specifically made to air fry. It might well take less time to cook. The product I used is half the cost as the other but only has instructions to stove top fry.

Health for the holidays.

PReviously I did a thing called Walktober, but this time around it is a special program with throughout the university:
I get the log in the web site: Here is my progress:

^ Total steps yay, I cheated and when I factory reset my app, it did not show up on the steps though, but approximentally it is about ballpark pretty much about 180,000 steps.


Also with that in mind I do get these amazing Winter Scene:

So for each log I do it paints a sence with the missing peices, it is okay for the time being too. But this is what I am doing for my health.

Tattoos anybody have one?

ok so just finished the last session for the octopus. it is completely done. it might need a touchup though, but i will not know until i take off the second skin in a few days. it has already filled up with plasma and excess ink. probably monday or tuesday i will take it off. i'll probably post some pics then. we decided to color the suction cups on the octopus blue. it really pops. i just hope the ink sticks in. next session will be working on the top part of arm with the orcas.

Rant Thread - What really grinds your gears?

I fell asleep at my sister's place a few nights ago, my right arm become so numb after maybe a great few minutes, I woke it up, but noticed the day after that I have a huge scratch on my right arm, it is not bleeding, I am letting it heal up with my cotton sweatshirts and t-shirts too. I am taking tonight off from a party I was invited to, I got so bored last year at over there, I do not want to rush up there without being so bored, and I had way too much fun at my sister's yesterday to ruin that.

In the same vein as my cell, my lock screen froze for a solid half hour..
I wonder what is the matter with it now?

The Big C

My brother was taken by cancer several years ago. He spent lots of time in several different hospitals at the end of his journey, with me visiting him as much as I could. The last hospital he told his wife and I that he was tired of the treatments and BS that he just wanted to go home.

Of course the medical staff were against it but they had to honor his wishes.

He was sent home with Hospice and peacefully moved on in his sleep two days later. At least the pain is over for him.


Tell your B-I-L I wish him Happy Holidays ...
