When I was working, a city fellow came from out of town to do some rural wireless internet signal strength testing on some orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) equipment, in the 3.5GHz spectrum, that we planned to purchase/deploy. Driving around the countryside, I provided some information about the region and the wildlife that it contained. By the end of it all, he ended up calling me Dr. Dolittle - believe it or not, i had to look that one up!

Then we got a flat tire. While he was still referencing the manual, I was busy changing the flat. Engineers, eh!

Gig went great last night! I had a bunch of new tunes I wanted to try out, and I was having so much fun I only took one ten minute break for a 2.5 hour performance. It was for a famous museum in Chicago, they always hire me to perform for the opening and closing of an exhibit. They had to cap attendance at 1000 people, so it was packed. Lots of adoring fans took plenty of video of me and chatted me up, and I'm sure I'll get a few more gigs from that performance. I made $600 from the museum and another $150 in tips from the attendees, even though I don't solicit for tips during gigs. Also sold 2 ounces to a new weed client afterward, so made almost a grand for the night. In other news, my kid and I were waiting to buy another of the same ebike we just purchased because a replacement battery and motor cost as much as the entire bike, so it just made sense to buy a spare bike. And we wanted to purchase before the trade war with China really kicked in. The problem was that the company sold out of the model we loved, and we were waiting for weeks for a restock date 'sometime in April'. When I inquired to the company about a more specific delivery date a couple of weeks ago, they announced that they would no longer be producing that model so we were SOL. FUCK! Fortunately, they had a used model for sale at their Cali warehouse, so I quickly purchased that one. It came a couple of days ago, but I haven't inspected or assembled it yet since I'm still healing from the crash. Really looking forward to getting back out there, and now that I have two of these beauties, visiting friends can venture out with me. Hope everyone is having a great weekend...

So it turns out that the second (used) ebike (of the same model) I purchased turned out to be a dud. The battery was totally dead and won't even charge. Also, the company forgot to pack the charger, so I had to use my original charger for the second bike. I contacted the company about it, and they completely ghosted me for almost a week. I only heard from them once I contacted Chase to report the incident as fraud. Then they were Johnny on the spot. They gaslighted me about the incident, so I went ahead and decided not to deal with them and just get my money back. Such a stupid decision on their part, if they just worked with me from the beginning they'd have their money, and I'd have a working bike. Fortunately, everything else about the bike is good, so it is nice to have as a backup. The company just got their last shipment in of new bikes of the same model, so I plan on purchasing a brand new one, as they stopped producing them. I think it is wise to wait a week or so, or order it under a different name, so that they don't associate me (the guy that just received a free bike) with the new purchase. I wouldn't even be dealing with them if the bike wasn't so fucking awesome. So great to have that Chase cc protection, fuck you for trying to rip me off...

I wish there were smart phones back then. Beautiful high rez photos and video are the norm now, along with cloud storage to keep them forever. With the crappy physical photos we had, we are lucky to have only a few from back then. I have hardly any pics of myself, or any of my past girlfriends. I had a box of letters and photos of lovers I treasured, but my crazy, insecure second wife threw it away. What an evil thing to do. I would trade that box of decades of memories for our failed marriage any day of the week...

Wow, were you able to save anything physical? I have never been married, but it seems hard. My mom left me a voice recording that my worth less than a cent brother wasnt included in. He tried to delete it out of spite. One reason he isnt allowed near me anymore

Nothing from that box, of course. But I have a few photos here and there. Marriage was difficult for me both times, it was a choice between keeping my mouth shut and being lonely, or pissing them off by standing up for my integrity and being miserable. In fact, the only times I've felt lonely was when I was married. I've only seen a couple of healthy marriages that weren't codependent, they're like unicorns. I'm lucky enough to be able to live alone and enjoy my own goals, art, thoughts, and company. I'm guessing you are similar in that way.
