E-Bikes

It didn't get as warm and was for more windy than predicted today. It was to start raining around 4PM which did not happen. Beyond that, the forecast was spot on. :)
I was able to get in a decent ride though it was rather windy. I saw four other cyclists out enjoying the day. Three of the four bikes were e-bikes. Two riders I've seen before. They were an older couple on matching scooter like e-bikes and then a boy was on a similar e-bike. The only standard bike was a heavy set young lady on a road bike and she was working hard. I rode the Aquila again today and put another 32 miles on it.
I did some measuring on the bike when I got home. With just quick measurements I didn't see a glaring reason my hands are going numb while riding it. I'll do a more detailed analysis of the geometry of the two bikes. There has to be a reason. It is not the distance between seats and handlebars. That distance is exactly the same on both bikes.
I hope to ride tomorrow but the weather app has almost a 100% chance of rain tomorrow. That might mean not a drop. :)

Tell me a joke...

Before he died, Billy Graham was returning to Charlotte after a speaking engagement and when his plane arrived there was a limousine waiting to transport him to his home. As he prepared to get into the limo, he stopped and spoke to the driver .

"You know," he said, "I am 87 years old and I have never driven a limousine. Would you mind if I drove it for a while?" The driver said, "No problem. Be my guest!"

Billy gets into the driver's seat and they head off down the highway. A short distance away sat a rookie State Trooper operating his first speed trap. The long black limo went by him doing 70 in a 55 mph zone. The trooper pulled out and easily caught the limo and he got out of his patrol car to begin the procedure.

The young trooper walked up to the driver's door and when the glass was rolled down, he was surprised to see who was driving.

He immediately excused himself and went back to his car and called his supervisor.

He told the supervisor, "I know we are supposed to enforce the law, but I also know that important people are given certain courtesies. I need to know what I should do because I have stopped a very important person."

The supervisor asked, "Is it the governor?" The young trooper said, "No, he's more important than that." The supervisor said, "Oh, so it's the president." The young trooper said, "No, he's even more important than that."

The supervisor finally asked, "Well then, who is it?" The young trooper said...

"I think it's Jesus, because he's got Billy Graham for a chauffeur!"

Wtf

He's zero tech. If he accidentally pressed some bizarre combination of keys, he probably wouldn't know it. I was thinking virus because of the nasty junk he's been getting into with that phone. The good news is that it came back on and seems to be "normal" (for a Samsung anyway). When he tried to make phone calls this morning he was getting only Cricket, the carrier, but now it's working all right, I guess.

Public disgrace er storage

Public storage is still horrible. They used to say that they knew people had a choice and thanked them for their business. Then again, googoo used to have the slogan "don't be evil". It reminds of that bumper sticker, Don't steal. The government hates competition.
Would you please call it Google, not everyone knows what your slang is.

What's the weather like where you are?

The overnight low was thirty five degrees but it's already warmed into the mid forties. A mid sixties high is predicted for today with only a single digit wind. It is to be partly cloudy but should prove to be a beautiful day.

It was a nice day but not as nice as predicted. The high just barely squeaked into the sixties and it was windier than the forecast as well. There is a 30% chance of showers tomorrow and almost a 100% chance Saturday. It is extremely dry here so the rain will be welcomed.
