    Ok so, yesterday, I had to jump start my bike, twice! First time, I stalled it, stupid mistake, forgot to downshift at a stop. Fortunately, I was literally a door away from a repair shop and we got it going in just a few minutes. The second time, I had to call Roadside, since all my friends were busy. Took over an hour.

    So, I am going, now, to test the charge. I ran it for over 10 minutes when I got home, last night. I will check the charge, hopefully it will start, then maybe go get a new battery.

    Okey Dokey, so...There was a power outage, last week. Everything was fine except, my Google Home Mini, could not connect to the network. So, go to asus router and cannot, for the life of me, remember or find my login info. All this at midnight last night. So, I went to bed.

    This morning, I spent the last 2 hours, I reset the router, reset the network name and my login for my router, set up my Google Mini and then my Alexa. I wrote down the logins in a secure place and will setup my other Wifi computers and tablet and such, as I need them.

    Now, I am gonna cut my hair, quick buzz with the Wahl trimmer, shower, shave and then check my bank acct. If that goes well, I will stop in at my favorite food place, after a scoot around town on my moto, nice day for a ride. Take care everyone, make time for something YOU enjoy!!

    So, another Thursday! Yesterday went to my Nephews for his Birthday. Had a good conversation w/ him and we had spaghetti ( it's the goto easy meal our Family does for gatherings). He plans to go to Thailand, in August, to stay for a few months, get away from the grind and focus on his goals, in a less expensive situation.

    I told him about Regret. In that it is more often the things we don't do, that we regret the most. I also spoke to him about being proactive and how to learn about emotional control, by keeping the decision your own. I told him to respect that which can kill you but not to fear anything else and...

    ...Failure is a step towards Success, in that it teaches one how to succeed. Ask 'Why' then, learn 'How'. Just basic theories I've tried to keep. Anyway...

    I am going to go about my Thursday. It could very well be my favorite day off, or is becoming so. :rockout: Take care Everyone, Happy Thursday!!
    Arjai
    I think today is Thursday, yep, I checked, so I am going to first, go to the store for a couple things. Then, shower shave and hit my favorite Greasy Spoon. I might even just walk there, put the bike away for a day. I have some riding plans for tomorrow anyway, so I think I can manage one more day off the Motorcycle! We'll see. (?)z

    Went to a Movie today, then to my favorite greasy spoon. It was a nice day out so I was having a blast riding my Motorcycle. At one point, I stopped to open up Google Maps. I had gone out East/ North East to the theatre, I know the way, been there before. However, afterwards, I took a road because the sign showed curves ahead.

    Fun road, but, when it stopped being fun (i.e. no curves), I did not know where I was. I drove around for about a half hour, thinking I was going the general direction. I wasn't too far off but, I was quite lost. The Maplewood/ Oakdale area is weird.

    20th Ave turns into 87th Street, that kind of weird, one street is NE the other is South, literally across the street from each other. Which lead to me stopping and using Google to find my way home! Not the First time the East side Suburbs have gotten me lost, probably not the last time, either.

    Did a ride today to fix some uniforms, in Mpls. Then went to my favorite, Thursday, spot Key's, and had a Steak and Eggs meal, Awesome!! It was a bit windy today but, the temp was in the low 50's F. Not ideal but do-able. Tomorrow the weather sucks, Saturday , too. Sunday thru Tus. look good.

    So, Saturday, Metro Transit. Sunday thru Tuesday, Motorcycle. Monday, I might get a little wet, on the way home but, that's OK.
    Anyways, Good Night TPU! I drank a bottle of Wine, good wine, in the last hour. Now, pee, then Bed!

    Cold and Rainy Today, and tomorrow, so I am bussing to work today. I hate arriving at work soaked. I don't mind arriving at Home soaked, nor do I hate riding in the rain. But it is cold and I am going to work. Hopefully the weather will improve in May and I still can get a few rides in this Month.
    Arjai
    Helped my Sister for a few hours today, moving stuff around her new apartment. Then took the bike out for a ride, gas run and then out to eat. Goinna start commuting to work, again, on my Motorcycle. Tuesday is gonna be a bus day, though. Forecasted to be cold and rainy.

    Got my Tabs today and went for a ride. Ended up at a local lake and found a nice bench to sit on for a while. I had a book with me so, I read a few chapters and then rode home. I also had to call a friend, to bring a jump pack, battery went low this week, even though I ran it and recharged it to just under 13 volts.
    Arjai
    Arjai
    The weather last week was cold and rainy w/ a touch of snow mixed in. The battery turned it over for a few seconds but, then went too low to crank the engine. Fortunately I have a friend that doesn't work, she care take's for her Daughter now, and she had a little jump pack that got me going.

    A good day and I only spent $20 on the tabs. I hope tomorrow is as nice as the weather app says it will be! I had a blast riding my motorcycle again!
    OK, Good Night TPU!:rockout: :lovetpu:
    Arjai
    I went to get tabs for my bike. The DVS listed the downtown location as the place to get them. Got them there before...Nope, they don't do tabs...Hands me an address, on a small sheet of paper...I said you must get this question a lot, "Yea". You know why? "No." Because this used to be the place to get TABS!!.
    Arjai
    Arjai
    Wanna know why else? "What?" The website for this exact site says you all do TABS!. All those taxes, all the employees in that place. They can't do what every other DVS site does anymore? Why is that? Who do I contact to find out why? Also, why didn't I get a notification, about my Tabs?
    Arjai
    Arjai
    Government, at it's best!! I am absolutely SURE that if I ride my bike I will get a ticket, but, I have to go across town, a 25 minute ride, to get my tabs...Make it make sense?

    I over drew my account this week. Thought I was gonna have to tough it out until tomorrow. I was rationing cigarettes, ate the last of my food, last night. I inadvertently was looking through my old wallet, new wallet just holds the essentials, when I found my Quicksilver card, from Capitol One.

    I went online to check it and...I have an $1800 line of Credit on the card!! :) I had completely forgotten about this account. I rarely use it, anymore, since things were going good, until Tuesday. So glad I found it!! Now I can eat!! Which is what I am going to do, after a shower. Plus, there's a Wild game tonight!

    Win, Win, the way I see it! Plus, no interest, if I pay it by the end of the month, no problem since I am just getting dinner and a couple drinks. Also, I won't have to pay rent twice this month, the way the pay schedule was, both checks went to rent, leaving me mostly broke, all Month! :(
    Arjai
    Time to order something to eat and some water, for the week, or two, ahead. Not sure what I am hungry FOR, but I am Hungry!! Guess I will see what is on Door Dash...
    Arjai
    Off to the Local Diner for some Grub!! I'm all showered up and ready to roll!( I even shaved!) LOL
    Arjai
    Well, I'm back to 40 hour weeks, we'll see how long that lasts, since our new guy got through his training. So now, 3 days off!! Too bad the weather still sucks! We've had two+ days of snow, couple inches here in the city but, up North they got a foot, or more! Leave it to March to eff up your Winter! LOL
    Arjai
    Well, good day, so far. Slept in, till noon, got my tool roll, volt meter and a little backpack and my checkbook. Went to Walgreens for a 9 volt for the meter, stopped and got a coffee and then went to the parking garage office to pay them a couple bucks, she under charged me a little, when I set it up, last week.
    Arjai
    Arjai
    I then went down to my motorcycle and took off the seat to test the battery. It was at 12.4V, which IS actually low. I started it up and let it get warm, about 5 minutes. It was charging well, 14.3V, and when I tested it after, the battery was 13.3V. So, job done. Looks like I will be doing that again, next week.
    Arjai
    Arjai
    Well, and again for a few more weeks, until it warms up again. I don't have a trickle charger and there is no where to plug one in, at the garage I'm in. I could take the battery out, or just remove the leads but, I think a weekly start and 5 min run will be fine.

    It was good to hear it run. I can't wait to get back out in her!!:)

    I am feeling a bit more ambulatory, this week! :) So, just waiting for another load to hit the dryer, shower and then go. Although, since I finished Erasure, great Book(!!), I am unsure what to bring to read...I will find something, before I go. :lovetpu:
    Arjai
    Got through the 2 twelve hour shifts, now 3 eights and then 2 days off, rinse and repeat. The exciting thing was, I got my bike out of storage, Friday. Unfortunately, the weather went back to cold with a side of chilly! Anyways, it will warm up, eventually, and I am ready for it!
    Arjai
    OK well, got called into work tomorrow. Since I am broke, until Friday, and will not be able to do my Thursday late lunch, might as well go to work. So, I will be going to work on a Thursday, it's been a while since I have worked a Thursday. Could be alright! LOL Good Night TPU!

    Three beers down, after a 12 hour day (stressful one, at that) and I am ready for bed. Good Night TPU!!!!!!!!!!
