Today forecast looks super nice. It's thirty five degrees now with a high of fifty seven predicted. The warm temperature comes with some gusty South wind but so what. I'll take some wind when it's not bitter cold any day.

Safeway was a large grocery chain. I assume it still is with the items purchased by Rgarner.

Pepermint coffee, at home brew

I'm so old a good fart can send me to the chiropractor.

vivo have begun rolling out the November 2025 security patch to their global models of the X Fold3 Pro. This update also has a Control Centre optimizations for Android 16 as detailed in the screenshot.

The Monday night game between the Eagles and the Chargers has to be one of the most sloppy games played this year. They said that there were five turnovers in eleven plays. I've never seen so many fumbles and interceptions. The game has now gone into overtime. I'm expecting a pick six to win the game

Well it wasn't a pick six but it was another interception to end the game and give the OT victory to the Chargers. What a hoot!

I use a ratchet tie down strap. Same concept.

I haven't had tire troubles since I broke down and bought a set of ratchet straps. I've used them for a number of chores beyond securing a load. I now have one other use if I have the need.... Thanks!

We had pork chops that are ham, apple sauce and sweet potatos. delicious.

I started out the day cleaning my gutters. They were in desperate need. I then tried to adjust my brake ticking problem. I got it adjusted as good as possible. I'm afraid that my wheel build is not that great. Rotating the rear wheel clearly shows that it isn't perfectly round and has a bit of left / right wobble. Neither are terrible but I was expecting better. I'll take my calipers to the nipples and see what size wrench I need and order it. It's a cheap tool that I should own. I'll find a day to play with that wheel and I will improve it. It's not rocket science but will take a few hours for a novice to fine tune it.

I suited up and went riding once my chores were done. As I cut through the upscale neighborhood on my way to the sidewalk South, I found a billfold in the street. It was laying beside a parked car like it had fallen as the driver exited the vehicle. It's a busy street and not everyone is as honest as this old man so I picked it up and went to the nearest house. I rang the bell and knocked on the door but nobody was home. I rode my first loop and stopped again at the house with the same negative results. A third attempt later was the same. I was running out of battery and was pretty much frozen so I called it after three loops. I came home, inspected the contents of the billfold to confirm I was at the right house, wrote a note about finding it if I found nobody home again, and drove back to the house. Luckily, the kids younger sister was home from school. She was very grateful for the return of the billfold and I was very glad to see it returned. I logged 31 miles and froze my butt off today. It felt great to ride.

Yup yup yup yup,

Steven?

My sister's puppy had a strange nightmare, he kept showing me something in her flower bed by the basement outdoors for about a few minutes, I took a few snapshots outside, the weather is not too bad, just crispier texture of the air, about twenties with one mph air southbound, went to my chrio's today.

When creativity and craftsmanship meet:

I well remember the day the neighbor to my North planted a little switch of an oak tree. Through the years that house has seen a couple of different owners and in recent times a renters. All the while, without any care or attention, the oak has grown into a massive example of the species. Being as it was planted close to the shared property line, I'm guessing over a third of the tree hangs over my yard. It hangs over my patio cover. It hangs over my roof. It hangs over my shed. With all of that hanging over, my yard is paved in acorns each year and the fallen leaves bury everything in my back yard. I've mulched the leaves three times this fall. It could be done again but the yard is pretty clean. The gutters are a different story. Today, weather permitting, is the day the acorns and leaves are removed.

A man wakes up in the hospital, bandaged from head to foot. The doctor comes in and says, “Ah, I see you've regained consciousness. Now, you probably won't remember, but you were in a pile up on the freeway. You're going to be okay, you'll walk again and everything, but something happened. I'm trying to break this gently, but the fact is, your willy was chopped off in the wreck, and we were unable to find it.” The man groans, but the doctor goes on, “You've got $9000 in insurance compensation coming to you, and we have the technology now to build you a new willy that will work as well as your old one did, better in fact! But the thing is, it doesn't come cheap. It's $1000 an inch.” The man perks up at this. “So,” the doctor says, “it's for you to decide how many inches you want, but it's something you'd better discuss with your wife. I mean, if you had a five inch one before, and you decide to go for a nine incher, she might be a bit put out. But if you had a nine inch one before, and you decide only to invest in a five incher this time, she might be disappointed. So it's important that she plays a role in helping you make the decision.” The man agrees to talk with his wife. The doctor comes back the next day. “So,” says the doctor, “have you spoken with your wife?” “I have,” says the man. “And has she helped you in making the decision?” asked the doctor. “She has,” says the man. “And what is it?” asks the doctor. “We're getting a new kitchen.”

I stopped by Walmart, today, looking for a simple silver and red strand of garland.

No luck. But I did find a SOG knife set that found its way into my cart.

That reminds me of a story to share that pretty much dates me. When I was growing up, the neighbors invited the entire neighborhood to their house to watch the Rose Bowl Parade on their new color TV.
I'm sure it was the first color TV on the block. Kids sat cross legged in the floor, ladies behind us in lawn chairs, and the men stood behind to take in the new wonder of the ages. The Rose Bowl Parade in color. 🤣

St Louis ribs just aren't as good as baby backs IMO. At the price, there were okay. My tater salad tasted good for something different.

Thanks Fox Mulder:

Not the news I was hoping for.

I appreciate your assistance.
