Okay, this one didn't happen to me, but I wish it did...

There was no riding Sunday or today. It has been too cold and windy. Today the wind calmed some but it didn't get out of the twenties and there we received a trace of snow. I haven't given up on tomorrow. The forecast is calling for mid forties but windy. Depending on the intensity of the wind, there is a decent chance I will get to ride some.

The rotor I ordered to put on the new rear wheel build was delivered today. The old rotor I removed is actually in pretty good shape but it has been noisy since day one. I've cleaned it and I've given it close scrutiny. It has a little wobble and I think it is slightly warped. One way or another, it lets out an annoying sound vibration when braking. It is recommended not to reuse an used rotor. For the small invest involved, it seemed a good idea to just trash it and get a new one.

I hope to hear from the bike shop before the end of the week. It hinges on him getting in the replacement nipples. I can't believe they will be slammed with business with the crummy weather and time of year. I shouldn't be in a line for a wheel build.

I ate the full blown meal twice, turkey sandwich another night, and to wrap it up, a deluxe turkey burrito.
We celebrated the majority of my childhood Thanksgivings at my mother's parents house with her sisters and brother and all the cousins. The leftover dinner was called turkey pie and was baked in a couple of roasters. It was turkey cut up into chunks, the gravy, and dressing, noodles, celery, additional sage, poultry seasoning, and diced onions, and topped with biscuits for a crust.

A 10-2 vs a 2-10 team had me watching the NBA. I didn't anticipate it being an entertaining game.

The big snow that was in the forecast fell North of me.. what a surprise. We did get a slight dusting that you could see on the deck. It stayed below freezing all day but is to be warmer tomorrow. Mid forties is forecasted and I hope that have that right. I'm pretty anxious to do some riding.

I've just got back from the doctors. He said I've got to have an earring made. What a strange thing to say.

A lot like mine. He wanted me to try herringade. Sounds utterly disgusting.

Well, I'm whipped today. My wife had me try three new positions in the bedroom last night.... but she ended up wanting the dresser right back where it was.

I'll probably make me a meatball sandwich with some chips tonight. I've got my choices for dessert...

I'm not one to ask. I sleep more now than I ever have but only a few hours a night. As a youth it was just a few hours a week. I have noticed that the amount of quality rest my wife gets directly effects how she feels the following day.

I'm not sure.. I need a profile

There are areas here in Kansas that the water table is too high for a basement. It's a shame. Basements make a cheaper per square foot living space by sharing the floor above for a ceiling and the roof of the home. Years ago, a local builder and his excavator formed a partnership and went to Oklahoma to build an addition of homes with basements. Their efforts fell flat. People just one state South had no desire to add a full sized tater cellar to their new homes. 🤣 Basements have been popular around here for sixty years. They likely weren't well received to start with.

A Chinese doctor moved to the U.S. and couldn't find a job at a hospital. So he opened a small clinic and put up a bold sign that read:
“Cure for $20 — If you’re not cured, get $100 back!”
One day, a clever American lawyer saw the sign. “This looks like a scam,” he thought, “but maybe I can make a quick $100!” He walked in, feeling confident.
Lawyer: “Doctor, I’ve lost my sense of taste.”
Doctor: “Nurse, Box 22 — three drops in his mouth.”
Lawyer: “Ugh! That’s kerosene!”
Doctor: “Perfect! Your taste is back. That’ll be $20.”
A few days later, the lawyer came back.
Lawyer: “Doctor, I’ve lost my memory. I can’t remember anything.”
Doctor: “Nurse, Box 22 — three drops.”
Lawyer: “Wait! That’s kerosene again!”
Doctor: “Wonderful! Your memory is restored. That’s $20.”
Still determined, the lawyer tried one last time.
Lawyer: “Doctor, my eyesight is failing. I can’t see a thing!”
Doctor: “Ah, sorry — no cure for that. Here’s your $100.”
The doctor handed him… $20.
Lawyer (squinting): “Hey, wait a minute — this is only $20!”
Doctor: “Fantastic! Your eyesight is back. That’ll be $20.”

Actually, I was listening to and watching an old concert video that is on Prime. I saw this reunion concert many decades ago and and enjoyed it and when I saw it was on Prime, I jumped on it. I'm sure it can be had on the net. It's been out of sight and out of mind. I'm talking about a reunion concert at Albert Hall of the the Everly Brothers recorded in September of 1983. The tight harmony and perfect timing wows me, especially after they went their separate ways a decade earlier. Only brothers could be so as one in a song... or an entire concert of songs.
added: I see that it is to be viewed on the net and I also see that all of that tight harmony and timing was displayed across 29 songs. Pretty unreal.

Í have the same options using the Nova Prime launcher.
