With temperatures in the 50’s, it was time for a bike ride. I passed by the meter box that had needed a front panel (which I'd reported the other day), indulged in a sugary donut, then headed to the university for a blood draw. Unsurprisingly, my glucose was elevated. The tumor marker is also starting to rise again, a topic I’ll discuss with my oncologist tomorrow.

The Coffees Looked back at Us
|
|
|
On a Downtown walk with friends stopped at Gray Fox Cafe for refreshments. Their cappuccinos looked pretty fine, it almost seemed a shame to drink them.

With my bike hanging from the cycle rack, pumped up the tires. The promise of temperatures in the fifties this coming week had stirred the fair-weather cyclist within me. A quick wipe-down with a damp rag, and a dose of chain lubricant, and my bike will be good to go.

Spotted this on my North Loop walk. A cover had been bent off an electric meter box, exposing live busbars behind the meter. The meter was running, so I knew this was a shock hazard, especially for a curious child. I called 311 and reached a live person who assured me they would dispatch someone to fix this.

Early lunch at Al's Breakfast counter: corned beef hash with a runny egg on top, hot off the griddle, fueling up between whole-body scans. Note the “mouse door” behind the folding blackboard sign.

Today, I spotted a new electrical box on the wall behind our two parking spots for a future EV. Along with almost half of our building's residents we opted to pay to have the wiring installed. This was expensive with long cable runs to connect each charger to control equipment in a distant room, so I'm impressed by the number of neighbors who participated.

Strandbeest Construction Zone
|
|
|
Grouped LEGO beams for five legs of my strandbeest. Having built three legs already, I'm now looking to maximize the efficiency of constructing the remaining ones.
