Scott Adams, creator of the hugely-successful "Dilbert" comic enterprise, has lost his battle with prostate cancer. He was 68.

I greatly enjoyed the Dilbert-verse and am glad he found something that brought joy to so many (him too!) while giving him a great life. It's awful it was cut short, though.

RIP, Mr. Adams, with condolences to your fans, friends, family and loved ones. Thanks for all of the laughs.

Glad you had a great time, I believe if I recall the Lectric bike is based in California, they have a bunch that drive them here in Florida as well

I did a quick google search last night in an attempt to post an average price instead of typing "cheaper" and found they are based in the Phoenix area. Every site I ticked in my search wanted me to give an email address to access their bike info. Naturally, I declined the invitation. I might be wrong but I think they are big into folding bikes.

It is supposed to be a bit warmer than yesterday here today. I sure hope to spend some time getting my bike fix. A week off and seeing all of that fun riding landscape, warm temps, and very little wind nearly hurt my feelings.

I like dark lagers too. I was drinking Dark Shiner and Modelo Negra before the liquor store where I fed my habit went out of business. My new store didn't carry the Dark Shiner or 1909 that was my go to so I tried Yuengling which is lighter for sure and six bucks a case cheaper. Yuengling has a Black and Tan that is very good but not cheap. I can buy Yuengling Traditional Lager at my new store for 27 bucks or at Costco at 22 bucks a case. Being as I drink lots of beer, it made sense to make the change.
I am drinking Coffee this morning. It's fresh ground Columbian from Costco.

fk. it burned my thumb. It is okay but damn it got warm.. Stupid moto.

Random oriments of wher emy mother and I where placing away the Santas in the boxes..There is one left in the kitchen window. But it is alright.

It got into the high fifties here today without much wind. It was plenty nice enough to get the bike out of the shed.

That one "back fired" .....

I'm on meat, dairy, fish, eggs-free diet for a couple of weeks. Breakfast has tofu in it. I'd call it vegan, but my philosophy doesn't nearly qualify for that. I'm conservative.

My main gripe is they made everything hard to do, what used to be a one clik chore is now 2 or 3 cliks, and that is if you can find where it is !

Besides they have made the security updates auto install, does not matter if you do not want them, and once installed they can not be rolled back ! ! !

And then there are the small quirks like the single click opening for things, (I do not like that, it has been double clik as long as I can remember), the default look that seems to keep coming back for things even though you change/customize them, etc.

My biggest gripe is after an update it screws my Ethernet drivers up and I have to do a song and a dance to use the internet again ....

Oh and not to mention my Canon PCS makes the security scream because it is not able to play nice with M/softs security, and the only way to stop the naggin, is to buy a "compatible" printer ....

Way to go Gates, I said I was too old to learn Linux, but I learned how to use your garbage didn't I ?

Never say never !

It was fantastic, the wife made the Lasagna and I made the salad.

1 pkg of Romain all salad mix
1 pkg of large Romain pieces
1 tub of cherry tomato's - cut in half
2 large Cucumber - sliced and cut into quarters
1 thinly sliced onion - rings and slices
1 pkg of seasoned croutons
5 different dressings to choose from.

Did I say the Lasagna was good too ?

HEB for the win, not sure how much further I would have gotten, the digital readout on the dash showed no bars and the gas pump icon had been lit for a few days. I think it starts blinking or chiming when it is down to 1 gallon, which is still 25 miles before it should stop moving.

Oh, 2.21, and that is prolly not as cheap as Sam's Club, but I did not want to run out on the highway ... There are stations in town still charging up to 2.49 a gallon !

Level 3590, been getting after it I has ....

I think that's what John Wayne Bobbit did just before he went to bed one night...

I really thought that this would be the year that the Chargers didn't fall apart. I missed the game while flying back but the score indicates they were pretty much shut down. Too bad...

My present Android player is Musicolet. On the PC I'm old school like Hadron and use an old rev of WinAmp. I pretty much got out of the mp3 game when Napster hit the scene.
