Thank you for all of that great information, Milo. Not sure either situation is important enough to me beyond a simple fix. I did lose you at step 5 of messages, though. I do not have a "Show web link previews" setting. Here is a shot of what I have. Would it be one of those? Too much beyond that, and I'll just start using the "type the word dot" trick. Thank you again for such detailed information.View attachment 180591

Mine does that too, have you disable Preview of web site on your app?

It was fifty years ago that my wife and I were avid bowlers. We bowled with another couple every chance we had. It was our affordable entertainment. It evolved into a night out of bowling and dinner somewhere. That was okay too until we both started having children. The trifecta of bowling, dinner, and baby sitter priced the evenings out of range for the poor working man. It wasn't just the price of bowling for it was reasonable. Bowling is not reasonable nowadays. And playing any game that's time metered is insane. A game takes as long as it takes. I understand that the house doesn't want a group camped out on a lane and bowling now and then but on the clock ruined it for me. I don't want to roll my ball as the rack of pins is being set to get my game completed before I run out of time. Surely the clock nonsense isn't in place during league play and is only an open bowling gouge.

Got mom a beautiful boquet of Tulips for Valentime's day, an ex-coworker and kind of crush, gave me a huge hug twice at my side job yesterday.
(Seems like a repeating pattern of mine hahaaa..)

We had pizza from the bowling alley, my mom's boyfriend picked up for Valentime's day.

It rained here, well sprinkled here yesterday and it was foggy but the fog lifted, so bright and sunny again for the third day up. Spring is here, the groundhog ate its shadow and try to chase it around hahaa.

The game above was Monday. Today is Saturday and Kansas was absolutely destroyed by the 5th ranked NCAA team, Iowa State, 56 to 74. I guess that's why I'm a fan of college basketball. It's never a given who is going to win.

I pulled my chicken thighs off the smoker at 155° and finished them up on the Weber. I brought them in when they reached an internal temp of 175°. I used thick sliced bacon for my wraps that wasn't going to crisp up in a 225° smoker. I'll cook them using both cookers next time. That was the best of both worlds.

In northern Nevada, every now and then my phone will briefly connect with a 3G network, the connection last one or two minutes at most.
The only thing I can think is it was put in place by the bureau of land management, the department of transportation or the forest service, it was set up with or eventually had solar panels installed to charge the batteries
Why is it still operating? I think it was either forgotten about or it's some back up plan. Personally I think it was forgotten about or it was put up on some mountain top and people didn't want to go remove it.
The connection is sporadic, you most certainly won't be streaming Netflix

Yeah what is up with out any snow lately, but tonight I think I saw some rain here... I got my mother tulips for Valentime's

i got one of these things a couple of years ago.

at a cost of ~$1500 i feel that the battery is now about done for.

i have traveled about 1500 miles so that is about $1 per mile, which makes this the most expensive vehicle i have ever drove

a new battery is about $700

is this the common experience with these things?
because for me, it seems that this is just more of "You will own nothing, and you will be happy"

in my opinion, this is an expensive toy, not a viable means of transportation

I am sorry you are having battery problems. My first e-bike was purchased in May of 2019. I sold it to a good buddy so I could buy the new and improved bike by the same company. The original bike had 1,024 miles on it when I sold it and is still serving my friend well. The upgrade bike is closing in on 22,000 miles and most were logged using the original battery. I don't think your short battery life is typical but I can only base that on my own personal experience. I do not get the distance a charge provided when the battery and the other's I've accumulated were new but even the original battery will still give me close to 40 miles of aggressive riding per charge. My good luck with my batteries may be due to my riding style. I do not ride a given distance, I most often ride until I have drained a battery... sometimes two and sometimes three batteries. I never drain a battery below 15% remaining capacity and a rarely stop riding before I have the battery drained below 20% remaining. I charge my batteries after every use. It might well be a sweet spot for the batteries.

Yes, it is, because of the hole in the bottom of the glass...

I have DirecTV. They are proving an Olympic plex that airs more than an event in split screen. Right now there is an interview, curling, and women's hockey

He's zero tech. If he accidentally pressed some bizarre combination of keys, he probably wouldn't know it. I was thinking virus because of the nasty junk he's been getting into with that phone. The good news is that it came back on and seems to be "normal" (for a Samsung anyway). When he tried to make phone calls this morning he was getting only Cricket, the carrier, but now it's working all right, I guess.
