What's for dinner ?

Not traditional Easter faire, the Boss Lady and my youngest daughter along with her daughter went out shopping.
Like what do you need bad enough to have to go out on Easter.
So instead of having the planned ham and fixings; we had some fried chicken, taters and gravy, Cole slaw and mac and cheese.

It was good. Still hot and actually tasted fresh. But it wasn't the ham and the rest that I was anticipating.

E-Bikes

I wash my wife's car often. My truck, not so much.
I rode twice today. It was pretty cool this morning and I met a couple of guys that wanted the last remaining stuff I had in my storage unit. I came home and hurriedly started my bison rib roast on the smoker. I didn't have to hurry but I had no idea how long it might take to smoke. When it was done and was in my hot box to rest, I went for a ride. I made one loop to the town South and a couple of in town cool down loops before dinner. After dinner and cleaning up I went riding again. I was using the new battery that came with the Aquila. It's a less amperage battery so it sees very little use. I would have enjoyed riding a bit longer if I had more battery. I actually ran out of battery about a mile away and rode home without any assist. The bike is no fun without some help. It weighs far too much to be riding around without assist. I logged 36 miles between the two rides. I saw no other riders, walkers, or joggers.

Any Time is Grillin Time

I followed the recipe for smoking my bison rib roast. I thought it tasted great but it was not tender. If I had another roast, I think I'd try slow cooking it in a crockpot. I would hope it wouldn't lose it's flavor and become more tender. It is such a lean meat. I'm not sure there is a great way to cook it. Smoking was not bad. If I were to smoke another bison roast, I'd smoke it at a lower temp. Perhaps lower and slower might produce a more tender product.

Restore Samsung

Since I put No Root Firewall on his phone for him, I wondered if it could be a little too restrictive. I shut it down and lo and behold, porn. I would rather err the other way and keep the thing from being invaded by a bunch of crap apps, mostly overweight games that are probably just spyware, but it's not mine...
it sounds like he blocked it himself by mistake.

you can block certain IPs from connections, and it is global, meaning it blocks for the whole device not just one app.

i used to use it for sites that persistantly sent redirect after redirect.

it worked usually after a while, but the app grows larger with each one.

i now use the firewall included inside Invizible from F-droid.

Shaken bake

I use WaveUp from F-droid.

it uses the proximity sensor to allow the screen to wake by waving my hand over the top of the screen and/or by taking the phone out of its case.

if you have problems with it stopping, you can put a quick setting icon in your quick settings and that seems to keep it active.
