A quick ride around the neighborhood this morning, but not really enough. Good exercise, what with the hills, but only 15-20 minutes of riding. Yesterday I went across Prosperity and around one of the neighborhoods over there, too, and that got me up to 25-30 minutes, but going down to the park is even better. I just have to get up a bit earlier, which means going to bed a bit earlier. :-/

In other news, it should be news to no one, but Cox (Internet) Cable sucks. It's been on and off all weekend, requiring constant reboots of our cable modem. But when you go to their website (kludged and bogus as it is), there's no mention of any system problems. Actually, the system status page lists no status at all, which is eloquent in its way...

Edit: I should mention as well that, after the class I took at Spokes, I was bold enough yesterday to fiddle with my brakes, which had not been quite the same since my last crash, and I was able to adjsut them quitre successfully. Very pleased!

Your ongoing commentary on bike riding has made me curious. I loved riding my bike as a kid. There are two nice big bicycles in the garage, both with flat tires. I'm thinking about borrowing one, fixing the tires and taking it out to the rail-to-trail route out in Orting.

See what you've done?

Yay! :-) I'm so glad my enthusiasm in catching. :-)

It's been doing that for us for several days, and apparently tech support isn't doing any better than "reboot AGAIN please", they can't figure out what
the problem is. Chris says they're sending someone out to look at the lines around here on Wednesday.

Just to be annoying, my satellite is doing the same thing. Obviously recent weather is challenging, but I've discovered that if it loses the signal, you have to do a hard power-down (not just turn off but unplug it) and then repower and let it reset, or it will never pick the signal up again. Also, it's started not letting me watch anything when I'm recording (including what I'm recording) which is very bad.

Grrr. Bad electronicsess.

Just rode a bike for the first time in about 10 years, and I am now painfully aware of how horribly out-of-shape I am. But I did put a bike on layaway, so I guess I'll soon be getting more used to it. :)

Good for you! :-)
