I have no notable ailments, but I can kvetch about my wife's "security" measures.
I set up her new phone the other day, doing multiple rounds of updates and making sure that all of her info and apps got transferred over, and I'm setting up her old phone for our son, right now. There have been a number of reboots and security confirmations in this process, and my wife insists on crazy passwords and PINs that are more than a dozen digits long. On top of that, she has to be reminded of her credentials for a specific account, so it's a whole bunch of hand-her-the-phone-to-log-back-in,-wait-for-her-to-figure-out-her-PIN/password, etc, etc. Like, several times in the span of an hour, at times. Maddening.

Looks like we will have 5 riders for our Tuesday ride, up from the usual 2 or 3. Not the pizza route today, probably the Cannoli stop this time.

No wet roads or sore muscles, but I got to the office about 7:00 to get a jump on some things. Need to take off early and head to the boat to get it ready to show to a potential buyer tomorrow. :-(

Mrs. rjones28 is more tech-savy than me. Hell, she's more tech-savy than half the IT department where she works.

I wake up every morning with sore glutes. Like I spent the day climbing a ladder.

I deeply regret allowing my tech savvy to slip away. I'm considering getting into Python a bit just to rescue a small portion of savvy.

I continue to lose weight. 168 the last couple days. I try to eat more, but there is just no place to put it. I am not yet gaunt, by my wife's standards. I drink a third of her protein smoothie for breakfast, then go for my ridiculously short ride, come back home and I'm not hungry until noon or one. I am staying hydrated though. And I am still carrying an innertube around my waist.

My wife, who's a nutritionist, says it's the carbs. I'm addicted to carbs so I can't argue with her.

The Boy's phone is activated and he has a phone number. Oy vey.
FWIW, I did try to get him a NYC number, we figure that a 212 area code is his birthright since he was born in Manhattan, but no dice.
