Month: April 2020 (Page 2 of 3)

–Had a sesame bagel from New York Bagels. Better than Safeway/Bel Air, not as good as The Bagelry.

–Went on a bike ride on the InnerLight. 9.5 miles, and made it up Heartbreak Hill without a problem. A banner day! (And I think the fat bike will have to go. The weight and tires make it tough to ride, even with gears. Good for fitness, I suppose, but I think I can bring back the steel thighs in time on the single speed.)

–Took a bike ride; worked on Fat Bike brakes some more.

–Got some groceries at Bel Air (TWO sheriff’s cars outside), then ordered a large combo pizza at Il Forno. Pizza was 14″, cost $35, was good but not spectacular.

–Got some bagels at New York Bagels. Slim pickin’s, $11 for 12.

–J-knife came in, plus stone. Both kind of crappy.

–Aztec came out, fixed leak and painted pipes.

–Pool is 77.

–Right hearing aid went out around 10 AM. Replaced batteries in both at that time.

–Pool is at 77.

–There was more algae on pool steps. Added algaecide.

–Ordered 10 N95 masks from Ali Express, 4-7 day delivery.

–Rolex microstella tool came in. Adjusted Turn-O-Graph from +10 s/d to 0 s/d. Seemed to lose a little amplitude (though it’s outstanding for a watch that old) and beat error went from .1 to.3. Not bad for the first time.

–Took a bike ride. Odometer seemed off in wrong direction after (second) adjustment. Perhaps due to less-inflated tires. I don’t recall that was a huge issue way back when.

–Pool is 73. Yes!

–Walked to Bel Air for dessert, cream cheese, jam.

–Took a shower.

–Pool looks really clear, 69 degrees. Warm weather coming.

–Spent some time refinishing my Devin Thomas knives. Will likely keep the new 225 (230), sell the others. The 270 is special, but just too big to enjoy.

–Got s state tax refund check for $1,293.

–Got gas and drove to LSB to clear out last remaining stuff.

–Tried to make Pillsbury orange rolls. Burnt them to a crisp at low end of 15-19 minute cooking range.
