Fast food.

.
.
Not great, but I had to get something in.  And, yes, it helped.  Not great, but... something.  Having trouble.  The sweats, nausea, plus exhaustion from the last few days.  Not perfect, but... something.  Now to figure out food for later in the week.  Get some packages thawing.

While out, I sat the bike for my first time.  She has some haunches, I'll tell you that.  I have been watching, seeing how other guys got up on her.  One was was to use the foot brace as a lever, down at the angle of the kickstand, then with the extra height added, kick over.  She has saddle bags and a center luggage pack.  So, it's... more on top of higher.

I was able to saddle her fairly easily, to be honest.  And my feet are good enough, plantable when in saddle.  I tried to light her up yesterday, when considering trying to get her down myself.  But, failing that, I just waited for help.  I didn't try to light her up today, but sorted out why she wouldn't fire yesterday.  She has a choke.  It must have been choked down?  Or up?  But, that is why no fire in the belly.

No message from the bike shop.  Ugh.  But I looked online.  There are offerings for key blanks, but they are very sketch.  Some suggest they are for my bike, but some reviewers say otherwise.  Or it's listed, but there were no reviews.  The one offering I am more certain about was about $17, but there was only one, and no reviews.  But seemed actual oem.  Ugh.  I may call some actual lock shops, see if they carry blanks.  The cutting sounds rather cheap, if you can find that service at a shop.

As well, I contacted my friend again.  If he is going to take the house, he has to learn how to manage taxes.  Ugh.  And, with my auto and bike being included currently, we have to get to that before the end of the month.  I know, he is busy.  But the .gov doesn't care.  And, this will be his gig starting next year.  Best to get it sorted out.

I did get a chin-strap lever release attached to the helmet I will be wearing.  Wasn't as bad, to install, as I worried.  Found a vid and, cha~ching.  Done in a flash, or near enough.  I'm still not sure if the size is right, on the helmet.  Am trying it on several times a day.  I just... can't be sure.  I just... I'll keep checking until the return window times out or I decided to return it.  Getting the chin clip off would be easy.

I'll try to stay up a few more hours, in hopes of hearing something back from someone.  But, then, I'll crash.  Surprised I have made it this long.  A few more painpills, and evening meds, before I forget.  Then... gaming, perhaps.  I had hoped to do some work, but that just isn't in me.  Later.  Or goodnight.
