Played a horrible game but decided not to resign. Was able to wait wait wait and come back for the W !!!!

I was 93.8% accurate in a one minute blitz game. I am not normally that accurate but based on my opponents moves I was able to make some good ones.

We may have come a long way but we have a very long way to still go.

My soul hurts after watching a video yesterday from Philip Defranco regarding the end of George Floyd’s life. Watching it, it seems casually and callus despite knowingly being filmed and the pleas of the bystanders.

It’s a very traumatic video to watch.

Please Hug you loved ones. Talk about #GeorgeFloyd with family and friends and make his story be heard. We need to do better.

Please separate how George Floyd’s life was ended and the riot response, they are separate subjects. Rioting bring more immediate attention than peaceful protest but also shifts the focus away. Focus on George Floyd’s life and his death first and foremost. As the riots subside don’t let them overshadow peaceful protest and this tragic and unnecessary action.

I have older MacBook Pro that Jess has been using but the battery is so bad that it only works while it is plugged in. So I order a replacement battery on Amazon. The battery came with a nice message and a disposable mask .

I open the computer which I’ve had for a couple of years after my friend use it for 6 years. There were a couple of German Shepard Hair. I’ve have taken apart Xbox and PS4 before so I figure I’d be able to handle this.

I was able to remove the old battery carefully and getting the new battery in. It took about an hour and it works

Final product

Looks like each local and state government will have a hand in determining between better economic in the next weeks or less exposure and less deaths in the next 8 weeks https://philadelphia.cbslocal.com/2020/05/05/coronavirus-latest-new-university-of-penn-model-predicts-350000-deaths-by-end-of-june-if-all-states-fully-reopen/

I was able to get a couple of photos from Blue Angels and Thunderbirds flyover yesterday. I was able to maintain my distance from others and get some good photos with my Sony Camera.

During a 20 minute Hip Hop Peloton ride i heard the most hype song so far “down bottom” Ruffiders, Drag-On, Swiss Beats . Today was suppose to a light ride and turned into a Ruff ride.

I have had my Peloton for 11 days and I think I have use it 9 days. I thought that I was getting a decent workout on my own before, but I realize that in comparison I wasn’t. My abs and ribs are trying to come out and say hello again.

For the time being I have been sticking with 20 and 30 minute rides, I have only done one 45 minute ride. I have been sore so I have been trying to listen to my body and take off days and light days when needed.

Let me know if you have one or get one !

Adjusting to quarantine and social distancing has lead to using technology to have game nights with friends. It has been nice together with people via GoToMeeting and playing games via screen share. Our favorites so far have been You Don’t Know Jack Full Stream and Drawful. Have fun everyone and stay safe !!
