I was able to bike through Ginger Creek on east and south side.

The west and north sides are currently closed to thru traffic.

Although residents seem to be able to drive through, it appears that it's 

an obstacle course with gravel in various places.  It's unclear if it will

become virtually impassible -- which will be a problem for my bike rides.

Online information claims it's currently in design phase with construction

starting in 2026.  In other words, it's not kept up-to-date.

I returned to the app but it had returned to the home screen, so there was no place to

enter the verification code.  I tried it again and the same thing happened.

-- 12:20p  Arrived at pharmacy but they said they hadn't received an Rx for me.

I asked them to call the doctor's office but, even though it's nearby, they don't maintain

a list of numbers.  It was easier for me to drive back and forth.

~~  Urgent care had had a couple of momentary power outages and they had been telling patients

that they couldn't do x-rays or other scans.  That might have messed with their ability to

send the Rx to pharmacy -- but it worked the 2nd time and the pharmacy was able to quickly fill it.

He's upset because someone hit his mailbox.

--   9:30p  Downloaded hearing aid app to phone.

--   9:54p  Had trouble with bluetooth pairing but it seems that the

problem was that the hearing aids did NOT automatically turn on when they

were removed from the case, so I had to do it manually.

~~  The next step (although I could have done it first) is to pick the

properly-sized ear cap, but before I can do that, I have to get them out of

the bag, and they are resisting.

~~  There are 3 types, and each comes in 4 sizes!

It seems that there is one size already on the hearing aid, so, I suppose I'll try that

but the device seems very delicate and it's difficult to get it positioned,

-- 10:09p  I got the right one into right ear and I hear some static, but I can

hear my voice coming through, so, that's something -- but it seems weird.

The instructions say it takes 3 or 4 weeks for the brain to adjust, but I wasn't

planning on wearing them all the time.

~~  The left one didn't seem to be turned on, so I was able to turn it on but

it seems strange that they'd have to be turned on one at a time.

I tried ordering on the app, but when I tried to subtract the cheese, the app got hung up.

When I went back in, it displayed a coupon code, so I had to order at the counter.

~~  I had never had a burger at Arby's before, but when I looked at the receipt, it

said "roast beef".  I quickly told them and they gave me the burger at the price of

the roast beef, which is less, so, I saved money.

~~  The burger was actually very good, but the gyros was probably better.

--   6:26p  Inside after biking 5+4 (with neighbor)  (Total 13 mi today)

When I got there, they were still making my food and he was squirting sauce on it.

I said, "You can make it light."  He kept squirting, so I asked him what I said and

he repeated it correctly, but then he went to the back to get another squirt bottle

and he was about to squirt more and I stopped him.  After some questions, he explained

that normally he'd do 10 squirts, so "light" means 5, and he had only done 2 or 3.

I told him that's enough.
