Because, guess where I am?

Can't we just use maps satellite view, zoom in really close and look for you?

Maybe if you wave-

Why is ‘dark’ spelled with a k and not c?

Because you can’t c in the dark.

On my Samsung Galaxy S20, I keep getting a stupid ad when I watch YouTube videos. I block it and it keeps popping up. I am going thru the attached screens. How do I get rid of this ad permanently?

I tried restarting. I uninstalled, then reinstalled the YouTube app. Nothing is working. If I'm supposed to sign out of YouTube I don't see an option for that.

I rode 20 miles before and 29 miles after the install of the new jockey wheels. I made just one loop to the town South on my early ride and all my later riding in town. My area was under a tornado watch and the wind was just incredible. It made sense to stay in town. I hope tomorrow will be a better day to ride.

The jockey wheels didn't arrive until late afternoon. They were the correct replacement for my worn out wheels. The installation was relatively easy and will be easier if I have to do it again. I could have searched for a video to help but it was a no brainer. It's a little early to confirm this fixed my assist cut out problem but I had no outages in my 29 mile test ride. It was 29 miles in town riding so it wasn't a convincing test. I hope to ride tomorrow when I'm riding five miles at a constant uninterrupted cadence. If the bike passes that test I will be a happy man.

The old jockey wheels have no bearings. The wheels are spinning on the race and you can see where the bearings were and how they chattered on the race before they shattered and eventually worked out of the wheel. Without the bearings, they had a lot of side to side play and could easily be the culprit for my assist cut outs. And if not the fix, they definitely needed replacing.

My next quest is to check my chain for wear. I ordered the tool to measure the amount the chain has stretched. My chain, like the jockey wheels, has thousands of more miles than recommended.
I'm sure I'm due for another chain and have been in need for twenty thousand miles.... sheesh! The correct length chain can't be had. It will be a matter of buying a nine speed chain that is too long and buy the tools to take some links out. I've been very disciplined about maintenance as I thought necessary. A little research a couple of years ago would have shown the errors of my thinking. My bike has far more miles than most bikes and the wear out parts have been worn out for some time.

The wife fixed some waffles for herself. I had sausage gravy and biscuits.

My daily carry Swiss army knife has a fold out magnifying glass. I love the insurance factor. I never grew up. 🤣

I ditched Microslop in 2008, after Vista. Been using Linux and MacOS ever since.
My computers are:
2015 Macbook Air (Intel) running MX Linux.
2020 Macbook Pro (M1) running MacOS and Asahi Linux Fedora Remix (dual boot).

There are things AI can't, or won't, do: I uploaded a couple of videos of AI being stupid and not being able to shut up... even Alexa (aka "Bimbo in a Bowling Ball") likes to tell me things like, "I have a suggestion for (whatever we're doing). Would you like to hear it?" If I tell Alexa to stop sending me suggestions, it shuts up; doesn't even acknowledge my statement; and continues to suggest things.

I don't know if this is true or a joke, but it made me laugh.

Haven't had anything to report on lately, folks
Today is a prime example. It's 86 degrees with a high of 87.

On the bright side...the sun is shining.

Grammy-winning conductor and composer Michael Tilson Thomas, who headed orchestras in Buffalo, Miami, London and San Francisco while also composing, has passed at 81 from a brain tumor.

RIP, Mr. Tilson Thomas, and thanks for sharing your talents for so long. Condolences to your fans, friends, family and loved ones.

I tried to tune in to watch the Royals lose to the Orioles but I was too late. They lost earlier while I was mowing and riding my bike.

Today's morning coffee selection , got a feeling I'll be making more this afternoon

I think that both companies are erasing a benifactor here, they are really focusing on the leser of evils split up and taken apart, it maybe a buyer bewear way down the line. Still if we can swamp 0ut th0se sims and mem0ry cards that is alright but utlimately leaving a peice 0f pie missing, 0f what pe0ple. acutally want 0ver all.
