Sun
-- 12:45a  I've been hearing thunder and now rain is starting. 
-- 12:55a  Bed
--   2:30a - 3:10a  Strong storm moving north to south;  Momentary power outage at some point.
--   8:31a  Up;  Reset clock radio.
--   9:25a  Leaving to bike, then get breakfast @McD:  2 sausage/egg burritos
-- 11:33a  Sitting in garage after biking 5+6;  App failed to record 1st leg.
--   1:19p  Inside after biking 6 mi and talking to neighbor;  "Sherlock & Daughter" (05/28/25)
The daughter was served cheese for lunch.  They specifically noted that it was free of mold.
Later, the show referred to a mold used for casting metal.

--   3:25p  Leaving via bike for dinner @Naf Naf: Falafel pita (with free drink and triple points on app)
It was difficult to tell if I did it right, but it seems that I got both rewards.
However, they charged me for 2 drinks and I got one free.  They couldn't figure out how
to reverse the 2nd drink so they just gave me a cash refund, but I think I got the triple
points on the whole amount.

--   5:24p  Home after biking 10 mi;  Sitting in garage;  Skim ABC news.
--   6:58p  Sitting in garage after biking 6 mi with neighbor.
--   7:48p  Inside after biking 2 mi (Total 35 mi today);  <!-- shower -->
--   8:35p  "Big Brother"

--   9:30p  I got a blue screen on my laptop that I've never seen before title BitLocker. It wants me to enter a recovery key. I was able to do some searching using my phone and found the key and entered it but then it said it couldn't connect to the network and set a 30 minute countdown to try again but I don't have any good reason to think that it'll work in 30 minutes. I've never seen this before or heard of BitLocker. It seems to be legitimate but I'm locked out of my laptop and I really don't know what to do.

-- 10:00p  It seemed that I was able to update my blog with my phone and that proves that the network seems to work, which may be implies that there's something wrong with my laptop that is preventing it from accessing the network but if that continues to be true I don't know what I'm supposed to do about it.

-- 10:24p  The countdown expired and it tried again and failed and started another countdown so I interrupted it and it allowed me to select a Wi-Fi network and I had to enter the Wi-Fi network password and that seem to work but then it said we couldn't repair your device automatically at this time and they'll look for Solutions again in 30 minutes but it seems like no progress is really being made. I suppose the suggests that there's a serious problem with my laptop but I don't know what it is. The messages are cryptic.

-- 10:36p  Skim Ch5 news

-- 10:56p  The countdown expired and got into a loop again so I choose another option and it allowed me to choose exit to Windows then it said updates are underway and then Windows seem to come up

-- 11:54p  Finished backing up laptop
