Testing Bluetooth keyboard

This is a test of the Yumqua bluetooth keyboard.  It's a small waterproof keyboard that is very lightweight  and has a built in rechargeable battery.  It is a little small to type on but the key response is decent. This is the way we laugh and talk and walk annd play throughout the ight and all the day. The quick brown ox jumped over the lay dog. The N keey seems to have a little issue and sometimes chararcters double type. Easy fix with spellchecker, though. I think I am hppy with this and will be able to work with it o the trail.

I also purrhase an Anker BT keyboarrd. I'm sure it would be bbetter response hoever it weighs 189g and requires 2 AAA batteries not included in that weight.

Seems like a light touch makes for more accurate typing.

accurate typing

The media and volume keys wwork as do the copy and paste shortcuuts.

For the wweight and convenience I believe this is a key-per. ;)

And don't worry, in the future I'll correct spelling errors.

Taking a trip in the Way-Back machine...Take 2

This post is mostly to familiarize myself with Blogger and learn a bit about posting from mobile and how pictures work.

Back in 2010 a couple buddies and I bought Buell motorcycles at the crux of their demise. Evening rides through back roads became frequent and we never tired of watching the electric light show of fireflies exploding off the helmet of the rider in front of us.

Eventually we wanted to take a longer trip, and the Bike-and-Hike was born. This became an annual event during which we would load up the backpacks, load up the bikes, head out a few hours to one of Ohio's wonderful Parks, hike for 3 days, then return home. Our first trip was to Zaleski State Forest.

 I never did weigh my full pack during one of these trips, but I remember it was incredibly heavy. Way too much food (usually MREs), a first aid kit that included everything except an operating room table, and lots of cotton clothing. Regardless, it was these trips that gave me a deep appreciation for a simple walk in the woods with great people.

So.....what would say...you learned here?

Blogger and Google Drive integration sucks.  I am whole-hog inside the Google ecosystem, but its integration is really, really bad.  Did I mention how bad it is?  It's beyond bad, somewhere in the absolutely terrible range.  I feel like there should be a Douglas Adams quote about how awful it is.  The documentation is even worse. Don't even get me started on the Allo, Duo, Messenger, Voice, and Hangouts issues.

PS: Google (or Alphabet, whatever), I can fix you. Well, I can't fix you, but I can boss around those who can in a very meaningful way.  All I ask for in return in is $8.6mil/year, a massive golden parachute, and a free prime rib lunch on Tuesdays.
