Superbowl Sunday

I plan on smoking out a pork sirloin roast tomorrow and bake a couple of sweet potatoes. I bought a shrimp bowl and some chips and dip to snack on. I will likely get in a ride early and my local U has an early basketball game I plan to watch.
I hope for a decent game to watch. I rarely lack a favorite in the big game but I honestly don't care this year.

What's the weather like where you are?

Yesterday barely reached sixty degrees and today fell short of that. Yesterday there was a fair wind from the North and today it was a stiff wind from the South. Both days were full of sunshine but seemed cold with it being windy. It is supposed to get into the high sixties tomorrow and seventy is predicted for Monday. I can't really complain. It's pretty nice weather considering there is still snow piles around town.

What's for dinner ?

Last night I diced up all of the remaining grilled chicken thighs. I used some to make chicken burritos and the rest for a chicken salad that we had for dinner tonight. I was upset when the only reasonably priced package of thighs was a huge package. After making three meals out of it, I'm feeling pretty darn good about it. :) Each meal was completely different than the other and all were pretty darn tasty.

E-Bikes

I went riding once it warmed into the mid fifties. It topped out at sixty while I was riding. There was a strong South wind blowing or it would have been a nice day.
I saw three kids riding on e-bikes in town. They were riding and not pedaling. I guess they get off on effortless riding. I saw one jogger on the walk South. I think most people were put off by the chill of the wind. I dressed warm and enjoyed my ride. I logged 36 miles.

The Big C

I was talking with my sister today and she was telling me about the medical bills that roll in daily for the care of her late husband. Between Medicare and Blue Cross the bills are being covered. Today she received a bill from some company she had never heard of that's based in Florida that had an outstanding bill for over eleven grand that Blue Cross had denied. She hopped on the phone to BC. They explained that the company was under their investigation and Medicare had paid the bill. When she informed them that the bill was bogus and that she had never heard of them and her husband hadn't had in home catheters and service for half a year, they gave her a number to Medicare to report the fraud. She called them and they will be investigating them. Just how crazy is that??

Random Thought Thread

The ancient battery pack wouldn't stay charged so I ordered a new one from Amazon. It's amazing how much support and upgrades are still available for the Maglite. I could upgrade to a LED bulb and reflector lens, I found a number of vendors selling the battery pack, and the charging cradle can still be had. On reading if the old lights have a value and the answer is no. I guess every squad car in America had this Maglite mounted in it a couple of decades ago.
