04-14-2025 Rides

Woke up (<>) after getting up in the night (caffeine) and eating a bowl of cereal. Then I got ready to take the car to Jesco to have it looked at. Drove over there, and there were some homeless folks hanging out in front of the shop. No problems. I dropped the car off and rode back home at a casual pace.

When I got home, I had some coffee and started arranging Ann's photos. This is going to take a while. I went in the front yard and continued weeding the front bed by the house, which is also going to take time. Worked on it until it was time to get ready to go over to HP and meet Hongwei for lunch. We walked over to Viktor's and ate lunch. She talked a lot about the recent OD&S, which appears to have significantly changed the organization she works in. It was a good time, I hope I offered her some useful insights. When I got home, I relaxed for a while before going back out and continuing weeding. Ross called me after a while, and I ended up talking to him for almost an hour about Mom's current state and our attempts to influence her for the good. Then I hurried up and rode back to Jesco before they closed at 5.

Home again for a short time before I drove back into Escondido to have dinner with the Leos (Ben, Steve, Scott, Marty, and Gary). It was enjoyable, headed home after that, watched some TV, and went to bed.
