voyer? Naughty, naughty .....

Chocolate milk, a small jug.

Today's forecast mirrored yesterday's but today it was accurate. It warmed into the mid fifties and that was the high. It seemed so much colder than yesterday with a gusty South East wind blowing all day. Although I had to ride around my smoking pork shoulder and football today, I still managed to get in a decent ride. I logged 38 miles and would have rode a bit more but the wind had drained my battery.

I saw a few walkers and two cyclists today. It really wasn't a great day to be riding. I can't think it would have been any fun without some E-assistance. I hope to do some riding tomorrow but they have now updated the forecast and there is a good chance of rain most of the day. I'll ride some if I can.

For kicks, I checked the tracking for the hub motor I have ordered. It was scheduled to arrive Dec. 2 but has been updated to be delivered tomorrow. I can't image there being that much variance in the shipping and I'll be surprised if it truly shows up tomorrow. In the scheme of things, I'm in no particular hurry. I was in a bigger hurry to secure the motor while it is still available.

It was cool today and there was a gusty wind from the South East. It got into the upper fifties but never touch sixty degrees and the max wind gust was 34mph. I was going to type that rain is forecasted to move into the area over night and into tomorrow. Instead I'll type it is raining and just under at tenth of an inch has very quietly fallen. Looking at the updated forecast, there is now a good chance of rain most all day tomorrow.

I don't have a smoker, but I have a Showtime Rotisserie Platinum. I'm going to do a practice run in a week or so, and then prepare a USDA Prime prime rib on it for Christmas. The Darling Bride is saying that the heat will cook off any juices we could use for the au jus. Any suggestions, other than simply use the oven?

You don't need the rotisserie for a rib roast (prime rib), I cook mine in the oven all the time. Rosemary, thyme, garlic, and butter to coat the whole thing. Start if it 500 degrees for 15 minutes, then 325 until the center reaches 110-115 (lower side for rare, upper side for medium rare) and let it rest. It will come to temp (5-10 degrees warmer) as it rests.

That said, you can cook some seriously good food in one of those rotisseries. I ran one (well, three as they died) for years.

So been up since four in the morning,and a tingle on what I said on here, went and connected wired with my tablet factory reset again my cell, and the rainbow glitch was gone, I have a check up on Tue, and have a chrio on wed.
Thanksgiving will be book, I have some free time today going to hang out with my sister today.
I am feeling wonky of after waking up at an unusual hour.

Tomorrow we'll be celebrating Lady Ada King, Countess of Lovelace, who is considered by many to be the first computer programmer for her work with Charles Babbage's Analytical Engine.

This is a day to celebrate all the women around the world who have made achievements in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics.

Ada Lovelace Day – Celebrating the achievements of women in science, technology, engineering and maths

I had never hear of her until I started doing crossword puzzles many years back. The clue is typically "____ Lovelace" and at that time my prurient mind went "Linda," but of course that's five letters. After crossing the letters to find "Ada" I had to look her up, and it was pre-internet, so a larger challenge.
She was a brilliant and underappreciated woman, and I tend to regard her with the brilliant women depicted in "Hidden Figures," all of whose contributions made the space program and changed our society in manifold ways.

I so hope you are on the mend my friend. I'm sure you have had the embarrassing moments like bleeding on someone's furniture. Blood should never be that thin.

I Had Too Much To Dream - Electric Prunes

Just burned 2,000 calories. That's the last time I leave brownies in the oven while I nap.

Happy anniversary to those that celebrate.

You got that straight. I guess it doesn't matter now. The Texans won 23 - 19 I think. It was amazing even with their home field advantage, but then they did sack Josh Allen 8 (!) times. For what it's worth, I did find a website that shows the score in real time and mentions upcoming games. It's called The Sporting News. At least that makes sense.

Yesterday, gas was two dollars and eighty some odd cents. I didn't really pay it much attention knowing both autos are on the top half of a tank. Today I raked and mulched leaves that blanketed my lawn and swamped my patio. My big mower was low on gas so I went to my local station and pleasantly found that gas was $2.79. I paid no attention to the price of premium gas that I run in my mowers. I never look. It would just hurt my feelings.

I can hear the the sound of the cat in the water from here.

A post made by someone I know, trying to tell her 6-year old granddaughter that she has pretty eyes. Lesson: when you rely on your phone's dictation without checking to ensure it heard you correctly, and simply post it on social media for the entire world to see, don't be surprised when you find yourself embarrassed by your own stuff.

At least it it was "prettiest" little ---
and not the "dirtiest" little ---

Lesson for non techies:
Skip "dictation" in noisy environments.!.
