Cleaning and Biking
It’s Presidents Day and despite the fact that the presidents aren’t really worth celebrating, it was a nice day. We started the day off getting the house cleaned up a bit which always gets me in a better mood. Then my friend Tim came over and we looked over the plantings and hung out for…

Dirt Bike Pick Up
So our friend Jen left her dirt bike here when she left because there just wasn’t room. I had completely forgotten about it when out of the blue I was compelled to ask my wife about it, after some gumshoe work, it turns out the bike was still here and still in need of being…

Change in the Weather
It got cold again. That’s okay, it’s probably the last blast of winter and while I’m no huge fan of cold weather, it’s certainly cheaper to heat a house than it is to cool it. Was super excited that I figured out how to put music on my watch and then hook my headphones up…

Record Breaking Bike Ride
19.55 miles is my new longest bike ride of the modern era. Sandy and I went biking on the Cotton Belt Trail mostly. We started in NRH and went 8.2 miles west into Colleyville. I was mostly manual on the way out and then e-biked it back. A good time was had by all.

Horn Working Again
The issue reported yesterday with the clockspring replacement has made some progress, it was the connection that I thought so I pulled it apart and made sure that those connectors were properly seated. So the horn is now working but the airbag light is blinking and the VDC/Slip lights are on. I think the latter…

Perot Museum Field Trip
The KC Chiefs are the Superbowl champs and it was a nail-biter of a game. I was happy about the outcome. While the 9ers were an amazing football team through the season, they just haven’t paid their dues. A big payment was made last night and they’ll be back. Sandy and I went to exercise…

Superbowl Sunday LVIII
Ah, another Superbowl Sunday. This was an excuse to party in years gone by but like most of those other drinking holidays, this one has faded too. I still don’t understand why the game hasn’t been moved to Saturday. They should have done that for 50 and then on. But it’s the audience that would…

New Laptop
I had a really spirited debate with myself on whether or not I should get a new laptop. My current one is a Dell that’s 5 years old and the keyboard is starting to go. Now that should have been about $50 or so but I got to thinking that it’s time for a new…

Synology Woes
So a couple of days ago, we had an issue with the NAS. It was beeping and complaining that it had a power issue and that the data needed to be scrubbed. I got that fixed and up and running again but then today, it crashed, and when it came back up, 3 of the…
