To work on getting better in shape, along with getting back on the bike, I went and rejoined the gym I use to be a member of. Went down for the first welcome session that they give “new members” and instead of driving down, I used it as an excuse to ride my bike and[…]
I had a great time this last 4th of July. First I went out and tried to activate a pota, while I failed at it because I made only 4 contacts, and when it got to 100 degrees it was to hot for me to continue, and I had been at it for 2 hours[…]
I have for over a decade missed riding my bike, this summer is the summer I am going to get back on the bike. I walked my bike down to the corner bike shop to get it tuned up, I really needs it as the last time I used it was back in 2014. I[…]
Well about 3 weeks ago I got back on my bike and went biking with some friends, well we pushed my limits and did 17 to 18 miles on that first day. Well for the next 2 weeks my right knee was in major pain, so bad that at times I could not walk. Well[…]
I just got my bike out of the shop today, I dropped if off on the 12, need a new rear wheel casset, new chain, another tune up for the year, and I was hoping they could work on the front derailer. Well they did get all that done, and finally the front derailer works[…]
Well for the last 2 days I been doing alot of sitting, I have not gotten any biking in at all, and right now my legs are killing me for it. You would think that not biking would not cause pain, but for me for some stupid reason, it hurts when I don’t bike.
I know I have not posted much on it, but I am still biking alot, I bike to work every day. I have not done as much biking as of late as I would like to have, but I have a lot of other things on my plate, and I do want to dedicate a[…]
Today our church had it’s annual picnic, well I talked a friend of mine from church into biking up to it, it only took about 1 hour and fifteen minutes. At the place we had the picnic they also had a pool, so Joe and I ended up swimming for about 3 hours before riding[…]
Well I biked to work for the first time this year, it was great to pull the bike out of storage and bike to work, what a thrill, there is nothing like a great morning bike ride, I pity the people that have to drive to work. I will update the mile count on top[…]
I just entered the last 31.09 miles from my bike computer up here so my total miles for this year are 1045.10 for the year, so I guess for next year my goal should be 1200 miles.
Well since the daylight change, and that the sun is setting so close to 5, and that it is getting colder, I think the biking season is over for me. I will probably just walk to work for the winter. I will put the last of my miles up later.
At the beginning of the biking season I said I would like to see if I could reach 1000 miles this year. Well as of last Wednesday (yes I wanted to put this up, I have been very busy as of late) not only did I reach that goal but I also started going over[…]
As the temperatures are going down I don’t think I want to wear shorts in the morning. So I put on my jeans, but that was a big mistake I did not know it really till the ride home, but since there was no room in the leg, the bike ride home was not comfortable,[…]
Well as of Friday (Sep 8) I went past 900 miles on my way to the goal of 1000 miles biked this year. I am wondering something when I hit the 1K mark should I just put “1000 miles goal reached” or should I just keep accumulating the numbers over 1000.

Well today sony annouced that starting Jan of 2028 that they will end physical media for the playstation. My response is, well I don’t need to buy new games after Jan 2028. And given the rumors about the potental price tag of the PS6, it will save me a lot of money, as I will[…]

As noted before when I first got my 3D printer I thought it would be used for some fun things but not as much use as I am using it for, it seems about 3 to 4 times a week I find another thing I can print with it to make things nicer in my[…]
Recently amazon decided to force an update on the Echo Auto, to the stupid Alexa+ I did not want it, months ago when they first tried it you could exit it. But last month they decided that they were going to force it and not let you exit or disable it. I refuse to use[…]
