E-Bikes

It was a very nice day and I got out and enjoyed it. It was in the low seventies and would have been considered a perfect weather day if not for a double digit wind from the South. It was still fun and I was glad to be out riding. I logged 31 miles.

I've been putting off posting this in hopes the condition would go away. I broke my back when I was a young man and was told without surgery I would be wheel chair bound. I refused the rod and fusion of my spine and have battled against the pains since. As years passed, the pain became less and though I'm crocked. For the most part I'm not in agony. My recent trip to California seemed to aggravate my back. Specifical my right disk or hip joint. Too much standing and walking slow took it's toll. The pain in my back is acute when I ride my bike. :( If I get off of the bike and lay down for a few minutes the pain subsides for a while. I'm not going to quit riding but want to explain the less miles per day I'm able to ride.

NCAA Men's Basketball 2026

Tonight is a big night for my Kansas U basketball team. They are hosting #1 Arizona who's record reflects their talented team. At 23 wins and zero losses, I'm not sure home court advantage will help the KU Jayhawks. I'll definitely be rooting for the home team that has lost five games so far this year. Their star player and likely the number one draft pick was battling leg strain/cramps early on but is seeing far more minutes lately. The Jayhawks will be defending home court and a recent win streak of seven games and a number nine ranking in the AP poll. The game will air on ESPN 8:00 PM Central.

MLB 2026

It seems crazy that it's Baseball time again. However, I'm very ready for some baseball. I enjoy football and college basketball. I even enjoy golf but my love is baseball. I hope to be so fortunate for DTV to gift me the baseball package again this year but if not, I'll be a buyer.
I love watching the games. It doesn't take complete attention to watch baseball which give me the chance to read or play on the internet while the games are on. There are some rule changes for 2026. The ABS system will be implanted.
This is grabbed from the net:
Starting in the 2026 season, Major League Baseball will officially implement the Automated Ball-Strike (ABS) Challenge System across all 30 ballparks for regular and postseason games. Players will retain the ability to challenge, with teams receiving two challenges per game to review umpire calls.
Key 2026 MLB Rules:
  • ABS Challenge System: Human umpires remain on the field, but hitters, pitchers, and catchers can challenge called balls and strikes, which will be verified by Hawk-Eye tracking cameras.
  • Challenge Mechanics:Players signal a challenge by tapping their head; if successful, the team retains the challenge
    .
    • Expanded Replay: Additional updates include expanded replay capabilities and further refined pace-of-play adjustments.
    • Implementation: Following extensive testing in the minors, this system will be used in all 2026 Spring Training, regular-season, and postseason games.
The initiative aims to improve accuracy in critical situations, with successful challenges resulting in the pitch being displayed on stadium videoboards.

The ABS system becoming official pleases me. If they are going to show me a strike zone and slow-mo the bad calls, I need for the players to have the ability to challenge or take the superimposed strike zone out of my picture.

I'm ready for some baseball!!

NFL 2O25

Super Bowl LX is in the books. If you like defense, this was the game for you. Both teams displayed dominating defense until the game got sloppy in the fourth quarter.
The Seattle Seahawks D dominated the New England Patriots O was the main story line though NE kept Seattle in check except for a MVP performance from Kenneth Walker III, Seattle's running back. It was an entertaining game to watch. It just wasn't packed with thrilling offensive plays that fans have become accustomed to in recent years of the NFL.
