Since my Garmin Vivo died the other day, I’ve turned on my Samsung fitness app tthatt’s on my phone It’s no where near as detailed as the Garmin app, and I have to carry my phone but it does a pretty good job counting steps and I was pretty impressed with it on my bike ride the other day..

Things are opening up here a little. The nightly hard cerfew starts at 8PM instead of 7. Hardware stores are taking orders for delivery. I could use some stuff.

It’s a month of dying electronics. My tabet is giving problems, my Garmin fitness tracker died, my Kindle, (2nd generation) made me do a hard reset and although it works now, I can’t register it to re-downlowd all the books I’ve bought. My wife gave me her old Kindle, but it seems to be dead-dead.

Getting readyy to place an electronics order, I guess.

Have a great day!

Last night, almost bedtime, I cleaned the screen of my tablet. This morning, the improvement is shocking. I mean, I must have had an inch or two of fingerprint grease all over my screen. You could see my “connect the dots” security code easily entrenched on the screen. Green moss was getting ready to start growing in the corners.

It’s so clean now! Mustn’t touch it! In five minutes it will be filthy again.

I wanna start riding my bike to work. I’m working on the logistics. Yesterday, I fixed this air pump holder that goes under the water bottle holder. The pump kept falling out. I fixed it by bending the plastic with a hot air gun. I need to come up with a way to carry clothes to work, as well as a shower at work too. Work has a hose outside, and I need to create a shower stall. There’s bushes and a huge air conditioner unit right there, so I think it’s doable.

Have a GREAT day!

Yesterday, I went out for a bike ride, I needed a CR2016 battery and wanted to try and find a place a friend discovered last week, Salt Pond in Barkers National Park.

I needed a battery because my watch/fitness tracker died, and I cannot function without a watch. I could not get a new watch or tracker because of the covid shutdown.

All my old watches had dead batteries, but I was lucky, I found the battery I needed for one at the first place I looked, a gas station. Then I went to look for Salt Pond. It was pretty easy to find, thanks to Google Earth, and a screenshot on my phone. I was surprised how nice it was. When I first got there there was a lady setting up for a wedding later in the afternoon, but she left almost as soon as I got there. Below is a video I took while there. I laid on the dock for a while and even had a little swim. Nice with all the beaches shut down.

Another thing that really struck me yesterday, was how much I enjoy riding my bicycle. I often think about riding it to work in the mornings, especially with so little traffic these days.

Yesterday was “Soft Lockdown”, you can go out to exercise for 90 minutes. Today is “Hard Lockdown”, can’t leave your yard.

Also, yesterday was our 11th wedding anniversary. We had a big steak dinner delivered and we ate on the picnic table on our back porch. Quite nice. No TV.

It’s a Sunday morning, I hardly ever post on Sundays. But here you have it. Have a great day!

Happy May 1st! As far as I recall, the quarantine ended May 1st. I expected a press conference, extending everything and we were tuned in, waiting for the almost-daily press conference and it was cancelled.

Whenever I say I’m going to the beach today, whoever I’m telling says the beach is closed. I say “Says who?” Beach closure expired May first, who said it was extended? Nobody has been able to provide an answer.

I’m going, jail or no.

My fitness tracker died yesterday, I’m lost without a watch. The only thing I can do is go buy a cheap Timex at a drugstore that sells cheap Timex’s

Yesterday I was furious about time zones. The USA is mostly on Daylight Savings Time. But all the American websites are using the wrong abbreviation. EDT is the USA east coast in daylight savings, EST is not Daylight savings.

I complained to one website, and their response was that they were going to leave it the way it was because nobody would understand. But they changed the time on the Cayman references. Great, change the ONLYcorrect times on the website so that 100% are wrong. Another fella started putting Cayman as CST to keep stupid americans from being confused. That’s great, compound the problem by making it even more wrong. That’s why you’re a democrat, moron. Do it wong because everybody else is doing it wrong.

I was unreasonably angry yesterday about this.

Stupid Americans

Glad it’s Friday!Have a good weekend.
