E-Bikes

I was watching a review of an e-bike and the NYC bike problem was mentioned. I can see it becoming a problem in densely populated areas without some respect for traffic laws. They should apply to all that use the road. I don't deem it a criminal offense unless it is a repeat offender.. no different than an auto operator. It will be long after I'm gone before e-bikes and scooters are a problem in sparsely populated Kansas but it will be a thing everywhere at some point. Traffic laws are more or less common sense and when sharing the road the laws should be observed by everyone.

Any Time is Grillin Time

Today was one of those rare Kansas days where there weather was ideal. I had planned to cook out some ribeye steaks. Between me riding my bike like there is no tomorrow and my son and his wife coming over for mother's day, I didn't put my normal cook on the steaks. I normally bag them up in marinade most of the day. I let them come to room temp and then smoke them on a low heat until I see 107°. I then put a reverse sear on the steaks and call them done when I see 130°-135°. Today, they soaked in the marinade then went straight the grill for a good cross hatch sear. I then turned the grill down to low and continued cooking until they reached medium rare temp. I honestly thought they were just as good as my normal cooked steaks. I didn't miss the smoke taste and I'm not so sure the smoke step adds to the tenderness of the steak. It wasn't like these were exceptional prime steaks. They were the normal run of the mill grocery store choice.

Disappearing photos

There's a Google Photos help page at Google Photos Help. That used to have a "contact us" link at the bottom, but like many of these companies that has now gone, but there is a "troubleshoot or send feedback" option. Or if you are logged into the Photos app you can tap on your avatar (top-right corner of the screen), scroll down to the bottom and click on "help and feedback", then scroll down again and there's a "send feedback" at the bottom.

MLB 2026

After stinking up the entirety of MLB and being dead last in the American Central, They have won nine of their last eleven games. They are far from playing shut down baseball but at least they have been watchable. Their pitching has improved and their defense has played solid ball. Their offense isn't lights out but they have been able to produce runs and haven't folded when they had to produce. The Central doesn't have a clear leader. The win loss percentages has the entire Central in a tight race. I'm sure there will be some separation by the break. The Royals have won the first two of four against the Guardians and then they host the Detroit for three. They need to stay hot and win those games. What an opportunity to move up in the standings that won't likely happen. 😆
