Pumped it up and managed to bike 4 mi.

--   5:02p  Leaving to drive to bike shop

They found a pinhole and a piece of metal embedded in interior of tire.

I also asked them to check my rear gears but they decided it was the control lever

and it will take a week (supposedly) to get a new one delivered, but I was able to take

the bike home.  However, fooling with the gears made it worse.  I still have the 

3 gears in front.

-- 12:03p  "Will Trent" (04/01/25);  TiVo got stuck in monthly alert

so I have to watch it on tablet with Xfinity Stream, which means I have to watch the ads.

Except, when it's your first time watching a particular show on the app, it lets you watch

without ads.  I don't know if that's the reason, but, about halfway through, the sound started

lagging behind the audio by about 2 secs.  Restarting the app didn't fix it.

--   1:31p  "The View";  TiVo recorded it, but it turned out to be a rerun from 3/19.

Genevieve was one of 5 college girls who went missing while sculling,

Their rowing coach was played by Jen Oleksiuk. 

The episode was "incestuous" because the lead cop knew the father of one of the girls. 

--   3:12p  "Inside Edition"  (50% pope)

The first vowel in the last names of all 3 "Jeopardy" contestants was "A".

--   3:45p  Leaving to bike, then pickup dinner @Sonic: $1 double smashburger.

I was waiting for them to have a special on that because the regular price is too high.

The e-mail said only the first million to order it will get it for that price.

~~  When I opened the app, it wanted me to login.  Usually, my phone remembers, but I've

had this problem with Sonic before.  Now that I'm home, I could see that I had

remembered it, but got it out of order.

~~  So, I had to click on "forgot password".  It sends a reset in e-mail and then I have

to pick a new password (and type it twice).  It lets me in but then says it wants to

verify my phone, so I had to enter that number twice, and then it sends me a text

that I have to enter to verify it's me.

~~  At that point, I should be set, but it still thinks I'm not logged in, so I 

login, and it again says it wants to send me a code and asks me for my phone number again.

so, I did that, but it seemed to want to do it again. 

~~  So I backed out, but it seemed that I was able to order the smashburger, but when I

went to checkout, it said I had to login.  So, I did it again, and I was finally able

to finish ordering.

~~  I had actually went to Bibibop first because they were giving 15 extra points if I ordered

a bowl with curried chickpeas.  Since it was Monday, I could get 20% off if I ordered a

veggie bowl.  Since I was getting meat in the smashburger, I figured I could go for that

however, it wasn't clear if I could do that and also get the 15 extra points, but an

e-mail I got later confirmed that I got them.

~~  In addition, Noodles & Co, was offering $5 noodle bowl -- a different one every day -- 

for their "tour of the world".  I wasn't much interested in any of them and this was

day 10, and decided to get the Pasta Fresca.

--   5:56p  Inside after biking 4+3;  Dinner @home: double smashburger.

Consider the meatless noodles to be like a side of fries.  And I only ate about

half of the Bibibop bowl, which could be considered a side salad.

Anyway, I don't see how their smashburger is any different from their regular burger!

used in "Twin Peaks".

there was only 1 in the bag.  While they were making fresh ones, they gave me a 

tiny cup for free soda, but it was refillable and I ate the one that had been ready

while I was waiting.

~~  When I went back up to the counter, the guy saw that they were still cooking

but the other guy seemed to have forgotten to set a timer and then he disappeared.

So, the ones I got were a little burnt, although not too badly.  But it's nice to

see how they can combine mistakes like that.

The sound is very echoey.  They'll probably figure out how to fix it but I

don't know why they didn't figure it out before going on air.  

Guests now have to walk up stairs to the stage.

~~  However, at the end of the episode, they pointed out that they are in the 

new building, but this isn't their new studio.  So, I'm assuming that's the

reason for the echo.  Even though they're in the building, it's almost like

they're doing a remote, a remote shows are usually echoey.

~~  It seems weird that they were not able to get the new studio ready in time.

I wanted to have Google Assistant on my phone set an alarm (by verbally asking it to do so).

For months, every time I used Google Assistant it tried to convince me to try Gemini instead,

but when I did a search, it said that setting an alarm was one of the things that

Gemini couldn't do -- which seemed to be a very strange shortcoming -- and I didn't

see any explanation of why such an ability would be lacking.  However, today it made the

switch for me without asking and it seems that Gemini was able to set the alarm.

Meanwhile, I don't know if I'm losing anything by switching to Gemini.
