I rode just a bit after mowing and before dinner. I went riding again after dinner. I logged 58 total miles today. It was windy but warm today. The high was barely in the seventies. I saw a few riders for a change today. I was surprised with the winds in the high teens at times. I had intended to catch the odometer at the 22222 mark but forgot. When it dawned on me that I had to be near that milestone, I was one mile beyond it. :)

Favorite Coffee

I wouldn't have a problem watering my (unbleached) paper filters before filling the pods with freshly-ground coffee, but I prepare over a dozen pods at a time as a weekly task. I'm concerned about the coffee, and paper, sitting wet for that long. If I was preparing each pod right before brewing, then sure I'd wet the filters first: but we're talking about a Navy Chief waking up at 4:30 in the morning. All I want to do it get my heart started without going all coffee-snob to do it...

Yeah, that would be a pain. You'd have to let them fully dry before loading up the coffee. Even overnight a damp filter would ruin the coffee.

Is there a 1x1 version of the google microphone widget?

J
No, you haven't missed anything: the Google widget imposes a minimum width to display the microphone, so in 1x1 or 2x1 resolution it disappears, and there's no setting to keep it there. The simplest solution is to add a direct shortcut to voice search or use Google Assistant, which gives you one-touch access to the microphone without having to use the widget.

I followed the recipe for smoking my bison rib roast. I thought it tasted great but it was not tender. If I had another roast, I think I'd try slow cooking it in a crockpot. I would hope it wouldn't lose it's flavor and become more tender. It is such a lean meat. I'm not sure there is a great way to cook it. Smoking was not bad. If I were to smoke another bison roast, I'd smoke it at a lower temp. Perhaps lower and slower might produce a more tender product.

Bison makes a pretty good pemican.

Since I put No Root Firewall on his phone for him, I wondered if it could be a little too restrictive. I shut it down and lo and behold, porn. I would rather err the other way and keep the thing from being invaded by a bunch of crap apps, mostly overweight games that are probably just spyware, but it's not mine...

it sounds like he blocked it himself by mistake.

you can block certain IPs from connections, and it is global, meaning it blocks for the whole device not just one app.

i used to use it for sites that persistantly sent redirect after redirect.

it worked usually after a while, but the app grows larger with each one.

i now use the firewall included inside Invizible from F-droid.

I use WaveUp from F-droid.

it uses the proximity sensor to allow the screen to wake by waving my hand over the top of the screen and/or by taking the phone out of its case.

if you have problems with it stopping, you can put a quick setting icon in your quick settings and that seems to keep it active.
