Crazy.

I tried to do that little task from the phone calls. It required access to my bank account online. That access doesn't work. They upgraded their online banking system and now I can't get in. So, I called the bank. They offered some ideas, nope. Then they tried to access my machine, with my allowance. Nope. So, that little task is turning into a monster task. Until I get my machine back, assuming it works at all, I may have to just go in and access my account from one of the machines at the bank. I need to change something or my home payment will not get through.

I was thinking, because of a blog, about my first computer. It was an XT clone. It had a 10 Mb hard drive and a 2.4 Mb/s modem. With it, while looking around, I stumbled into a bank. There was no security. Accounts, data, all of it was quite open. I just... disconnected and never went back there. I just think it is funny that now there is so much security that even when my bank allows me access and I try to gain it, I can't. Progress? Oh well. I'll... get to it.

I took some pictures of my bike. But while removing it from the garage, the kickstand broke off. *shrug* I will see if one of the bike shops has an inexpensive replacement. Yeah, I could take it back to Walmart. But, at best, I would get an exact replacement part. From looking at it, that is not what I want. I wonder how many other parts will end up failing and needing to be replaced. The frame is actually pretty good. I don't know about the tires, but they are straight. I suppose it also depends on how much of the bike is one-off in design and construction (or more-off). Oh well. But I do have some pictures, in case I get it crunched while eventually riding it.

No riding today. I am still a bit under the weather. A week of daily grind after three weeks, give or take, downtime and I am done for a while. Frustrating, to be sure. Still, my feet have been tended so walking is pleasant and pedaling should be a breeze. I am back on my medicines and keeping up on things. I am taking care of this and that along the way again now. I just have to take it easy for a few days. Such a delicate creature for being such a brute. Odd. But if I kept pushing something would have broken, this I know.

Hmm, more wine? *chuckles* Bleh, not quite ready for that, either.
