Short ride through a low-traffic city followed by chocolate chip brioche (Aldi, natch) French toast. Hey, I've gotta do something with all of the eggs, milk and bread that we've stockpiled in the bunker.

I survived another day of telemedicine. A few visits had technical problems and I had to downgrade to phone visits. Phone visits are not as good because you can’t see the patient (one of them had ankle pain and I could not isolate the cause or source without seeing it), but also the reimbursement for phone visits is peanuts, I think about $8 for a 15 minute visit.
After work I went for a solo ride. It’s sunny and mid 60’s, a beautiful spring day. I was doing hill repeats up the closest real hill, when a fancy orange convertible came beside me. It was one of my cycling friends! I told him he should be riding his bike.
I did not recognize what car it was, so after the ride I texted him to ask. He said it’s a Mclaren 720S Spyder. I told him it’s ok, but not quite a Saturn.

Problem with the minimizers and deniers is that if they are young and healthy, they will almost certainly be fine, thus “proving” they were right. They will point to the huge numbers of sick (and sadly, dead) as “fake news” or “sick old people who would have died this year anyway.”
Sad.

...aaaaand then we find out that my MIL thought it was a good idea to keep her annual check-up appointment and that my Kool-aid drinkin' brother in law didn't see an issue so he ******g drove her to the big-ass hospital. I say again - ugh.

I have a kinetic smart trainer and wahoo Element I am trying to control my trainer through my wahoo. Should the resistance be @100% or lower? Intensity was only factory set @3 I bumped that to 5.
I want to do a 20 min ftp test, but I would like it to be as correct as I can make it.

Having a denier as a supervisor, has it's own challenges. His wife has lupus, among other things, and I think he should be locked down as a courtesy to her. Of course, he doesn't want to be there, and lobbied hard to his supervisor to include us in the essential pool. That included tossing in the fact that we (I) could find the electrical issue in his Subaru.

All of this staying home and cooking has me itching to buy another Japanese knife. I blame Bah Humbug.

Stimulate that Japanese economy?
I'll hold off. I feel like there are going to be deals to be had in the near future, if I'm still in the market, that is.
This goes for the bike crap, too. I did order some Rapha bibs/jersey and Swiftwick socks yesterday, though (and they'll both arrive within the next 48 hours ); they were running decent sales on stuff that's not often discounted and I think others will be following suit.

Not with the US$ doing right now. Something of interest overseas jumped $200 in two days because of the exchange rate. And since covid Johnson closed the U.K. economy there’s nothing I can do but watch the price change as I watch the market in free fall.
