Well look what we have here. #R1300GS

Hello from @barbermuseum / #motorraddays #bmwmotorrad

I am in Alabama.

jesseluggage - i still think its the rack that i bent. Box has a few ruts that i need to hammer out. Sorry ive been laid up. Will get a new rack from you and hopefully i only need the cross bar and mount piece. I think those are bent Sorry everyone. I dont know how to use Instagram.

Thats more like it. I couldnt get #MOTOMVR as it was too many letters. This will have to do.

Boot.

Biggest news of the week though. Weighed in at 248 pounds (down from 267 at start of year). I have about 20 more pounds to go but this is the least I’ve weighed in 15 years.

Also, ankle stitches coming out today. WOOHOOO. tomorrow, riding to Alabama for BMW Fest Americas.

2 more weeks of Invisalign then my teeth will be perfectly straight..then time for whitening!

Refurbished Generation 2 HomePods means I finally get a Stereo Pair in the house. I demoted my Gen 1 HomePods to the garage (also as a pair).

Performing a ‘streaming audit’ for my household. We don’t have a cash-crunch issue at home but I am concerned about ongoing price increases and overall content satisfaction.

@kolin you catch any fall foliage? Should be peak soon up there.

Really getting comfortable with Apple’s 6TB of storage. Note, I am not storing my RAW images in iCloud. That’s over 12 terabytes and on my NAS. Not paying Adobe for that, either.

It's Monday.

@harrymccracken As someone with a 2 terabyte+ iCloud library with 150K photos, this process is all too familiar to me. Every new Apple device I purchase needs about 4 weeks plugged in to process my library. Imagine buying a new Macbook Pro and even though you restore from Time machine, your GPU is …

@kolin please share this journey. Or keep a diary. Change is good. But writing down your emotions and fears in the moment is good too.

2023 Flue & Covid shot complete. Probably going to be my last covid shot though but with a kid arriving November, honestly I just can't deal with any downtime this Winter. Flu this is my 4th year in a row getting that.

One Week Post-Op doctor visit. Exposed my ankle and cleaned it up. It looks really great. Some swelling still around the two incisions but I can start physical therapy (non resistance / non-weight-bearing) and I'm on track to get a boot next week meaning no more scooter or crutches. YAY

Used 6.45 terabytes this month. Not bad.

MacOS Sonoma up and running on the home computer but I'm still uploading 4,700 or so videos to iCloud. Looking forward to getting that over with but thankful for 1gig fiber.

Surgery update, 6 days out and I am putting more weight on the ankle than I should. Yesterday, back in the office and knee scooter continues to come in handy. Really hoping tomorrow's doctor visit equals boot and stitches out but initially it was going to be 2 weeks on the scooter.
