NFL 2O25

I did not expect Tomlin to step away from his head coach position after losing last night. I guess the Rooney's were expecting more than another first week playoff loss out of their team. Considering how beat up the team was and having a 42 year old QB, I thought they did well to have another winning season. Perhaps it is time for a change. It's too bad that there aren't great coaches sitting and waiting for a franchise to call them.

E-Bikes

It is to be cooler tomorrow so I gave it a good go today. I rode 37 miles and completely drained a battery. The lithium batteries just don't perform well in the cold.
I did see two other cyclists today and a couple of walkers. The weather was decent, being in the high fifties with only a slight breeze.

I see all sorts of odd things that have blown out of trucks of fell off of cars as I'm riding. I see a lot of gloves. Once in a great fashion I will even find a pair of gloves.
They might be a mile or two apart but clearly a pair. Today, as I was riding my cool down laps in town I saw a newly lost glove in the street. They were letting water out of a fire hydrant up the street I was crossing that caused me to slow down as I crossed the stream or I'd likely have not seen the glove. As I rode on I got to thinking that the glove looked familiar. I stopped and looked at it the next time around. I then unzipped my bike trunk and checked. Sure enough I had the mate. It was my glove that I didn't even know I had lost. I assume I lost it yesterday for when I came home from riding I noticed my trunk wasn't completely zipped shut. The pair is a fairly light weight bike gloves that I bought when I purchased my first RCS. I wore them only a few times and a seam came unsewed. I keep them in the trunk just in case I need a pair. I bought some far better gloves that I wear. I thought it was pretty funny that I found my own glove.

Fatalities - 2026

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.
Wow.. I am still a fan of his comic books..

What are you drinking right now?

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.

THOUGHTS ON MICROSOFT ENDING SUPPORT FOR WINDOWS 10

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 !

Any Time is Grillin Time

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 ?

Gas prices?

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 !
