The Royals lost the opening game against the Nationals at their house today. Oh, what a surprise.

I fixed a pot of ham and navy beans.

Today was awkward. They milled the top off my residential street Friday and they resurfaced it today. I had my big mower on the trailer and parked it around the block before they closed off my street. I mowed my lawns but I needed my three foot mower to get into two different back yards. I had to wait about an hour and a half before they game me the okay to exchange mowers so I could wrap up my work. When completed, I fixed dinner and ate a little early and then went riding.

It was really nice riding weather this evening. It was in the mid eighties and zero wind. Being as I didn't have time for two rides, I decided to slow down and enjoy one ride at a leisure pace. I managed to log 49 miles on the battery and I could have maybe squeaked four or five miles more. It's fun to ride a slow pace now and then just like it's fun to burn up the track. My normal and preferred pace is around 22mph.

I had some company on the sidewalk tonight. I met one rider and passed two. The cyclists were definitely out numbered by the walkers and joggers. It's always fun to see people enjoying the nice weather.

My new brakes are supposed to arrive tomorrow. I'm anxious to see if the "multiple mounting options" will allow me to install the calipers without running to a bike shop or hardware store. I know it will take considerable time to remove the old and install the new. I might not have the window tomorrow, even if everything is good to go.
It all depends of the delivery time and my free time.

Brand new railing was installed the last summer trip, but it was so awesome to see.

I should add in last night I could not sleep due to stress and overwhelming of my docs app, but he saids I am obesed, severaly obessed, but I never seem to gain a pound. Strange .

Rico, dude, go cook something to eat! We're getting sympathy hunger pangs out there for you!

Hopefully their math ability is leagues beyond their ability to spell...

Me too! Especially when i could keep a "desktop mode" when browsing ; Dolphin was the go to browser in the day.

I am glad to see you got the care you needed; perhaps too much ozone lately?
Seriously, I hope the pacemaker does exactly what it's supposed to do and that happens to be exactly what you need!
...and that you can avoid those kinds of forced vacations, too!

Running/maintaining a website is not that complicated.

What it does take is daily monitoring and full communication with staff !

Alas it appears this place, has neither.

I have almost reached my limit, I Admin 4 sites, asked to be removed as a SM from another, and mod a few others, and participate in 6 others. To me this means checking them everyday !

I have server space, to open my own site, but have not, for the fact, I do not have the time to dedicate to it.

'Sides, it is more fun to watch, than be in charge !

If one spreads themselves too thin, or lose interest in a duty, then it is time to pass the job along !

JMO as always

Damn, I thought I was outcast when I could not get in ....

I had a few handfuls of trailmix, now on second pot of coffee !

We exceeded our predicted high but it was still a nice day. I show the high today was 83.3°. It was almost cool riding my bike.

Former NFL defenseman Aldon Smith, drafted by the 49ers, whose off-field troubles overran his football career, died yesterday at 36 following a "medical emergency." He had been helping with food distribution at a shelter prior to that. An autopsy will be conducted.

RIP, Mr. Smith, and condolences to your fans, friends, family and loved ones.

I have a Samsung Galaxy S20. Sometimes, when I receive a text message, it requires a download which says "No subject." When I click the message, it appears to be downloading but eventually it errors out. I think this has to do with receiving messages over a certain character limit. I tried clearing the cache in the Text Message app and I still can't download these text messages.

The attached pic shows the download notification I get when I receive a message.

How can I enable downloading?

Screen shot them, save them.. upload them to the cloud, profit.

Battery life is hit or miss depending on how much I'm using the phone (which is kinda normal). Other than the ArmorSuit Military Shield film screen protector not adhering to the inner screen (particularly at the fold, so I removed it), I have no complaints about it. I'll keep my S24 Ultra as a backup or as needed for a second camera setup, but only in standby.

I am so glad I do not have to take off my case for plugging it to charge or even file transfer to my comp, this new Milliatary sheild cover it's worth the full price.

Men are born in the valley and are judged by how high they climb.
