-- 12:45a  Bed

--   8:46a  Up;  Learned that Pope Francis died.  35 mph wind gusts expected.

--   9:45a  Leaving to get breakfast @McD: 2 sausage/egg burritos

-- 11:18p  Inside after biking 3+4 in gusty wind;  Skim  Ch2 news  

-- 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.

--   1:39p  ... "Alert" (03/25/25, s3x1)

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!

"Conners, The" (04/02/25)

--   7:21p  Inside after biking 4 mi (Total 18 mi today) and talking to neighbor.

When I turned on the TV, "American Idol" was on.  I haven't been watching

but I think the guy who was performing was terrible.  Only one judge commented

and she had nothing negative to say, but maybe it was faint praise.

--   8:01p  "ET"

--   9:22p  Skim Ch7 news

-- 10:20p  Skim Ch5 news

-- 10:50p  "Jimmy Kimmel";  He mentioned a bacon double standard with cheese.
