I baked some frozen taquitos for dinner. The picture on the box made the corn tortillas looked to be stuffed with bean and beef. If there was beef in there, I missed it. Even the bean paste was pretty sparce. They didn't taste bad but certainly something I'll not buy again.

They've shut down a couple years back now, but we had a restaurant called "Pho King" and it seemed to be popular.

(Yes, we played with the name ...)

I have a grapple saw tree cutter coming to remove several trees. I'm paying a day rate so I have to mark priority trees and they will cut until they run out of time. I bought some tape to mark the trees.

I generally go about a month on my Dodge before filling up.
We take it on trips and it's my daily driver. 2017 and still under 50,000 miles on it. We'll put about 1,000 miles on it, next month, going to Florida for a cruise, which is about what we'd put in it on a normal vacation.
The Boss Lady's 2011 Hyundai has something over 150,000 miles on it and she actually drives it EVERY day just to go.
She does have PT twice a week but after her surgeries, she just likes to go.

I'm happy sitting on the porch.

I must admit that the new Call Screening in One UI 8.5 is a really nice successor to the Call Assist Text Call feature. I can tap a button and it will ask the caller their name and reason for calling. I simply listen in and can take the call if it's legit: usually, though, it's not and the call disconnects without my having to do anything else.


UPDATE: I found the Moto G Stylus 2026 to be the most counter-intuitive smartphone I'd ever tried to set up... that's saying something because it was the 15th smartphone I'd purchased since the OG Droid in 2009. I don't know who's in charge of Settings, but everything is scattered around; few things are where I'd expect them to be; and some things just aren't there (or I can't find them). Connections are hit or miss: my Sony headphones paired just fine, but my Sony earbuds didn't even show up as an available device. Plus, the sheer amount of bloatware on the phone is staggering!

As much as I've looked forward to this phone (for months), I quickly became content to reset and return everything while still within Motorola's "generous" 14-day return window. It's boxed up and will be headed back to Moto tomorrow.

What's the difference between a poorly-dressed man on a tricycle; and a well-dressed man on a bicycle?

A tire.

^^^ Curiously (at least to me) the song I always first associate with Mr. Coe is, "You Never Even Called Me by My Name."

RIP, Mr. Coe, and thanks for sharing your talents.

I tried to steal spaghetti from the shop, but the female guard saw me and I couldn't get pasta.

Very tender, just don't let it be over cooked.

Today is a new day and the Royals are back to normal. Through seven innings they are flopping like a fish out of water. The score is Athletics 5 and the Royals one.

I had trouble getting to sleep last night. As I was laying there, I was thinking about my bike repair. Suddenly it crossed my mind, the crank cassette can be just as worn out as the rest of the drive train. It was a duh moment. As soon as I was up and dressed, I went out to inspect the sprocket. It didn't look great but I think it still has some miles in it.
It has 52 teeth, the jockey wheels and the nineth gear that I ride in all of the time have 11 teeth. Doing the math, the front chainring has only around one fifth of the wear as the other parts. The repair, just like the rest of the repairs, is a doable task. The sprocket can be had between thirty and fifty bucks. I didn't check the cost of the specialized tools for the task. It takes a couple of unique spanner wrenches that I'd have to purchase. The rest of the tools are allens and torque wrench sort of tools that I have. The project will not be fun when the time comes. The main cranks have to be removed to access the front chainring.

It was a cooler day that barely got into the sixties. There was a brisk NE wind that made it feel cooler. I put on some warm riding clothes and rode up one battery. Riding with the wind, it was almost hot. Riding into the wind was almost chilly. I logged 36 miles and put the Aquilla up. I was the only fool out riding.

I came close to running over a Meadowlark on the sidewalk South. There is a set of high lines running between the road and the sidewalk and he came zipping down and snatched up a grasshopper right in front of my 20+MPH front tire. He took off with his dinner before I had time to react. I was close to a foot from him when he took flight. I don't know who was more surprised, me or the Meadowlark. Probably the grasshopper.

What the heck dudes?

Like this..

Another cooler day is unfolding. The over night low was 43° and it's now 50°. At least, so far, there isn't any wind. It is to become windy however that will make the 64° predicted high seem cool.
