Dear TeamToddTBI,

 

This week, I completed virtual flights : “https://drive.google.com/file/d/1_dyz-AMH3_OSO1F1zzjBbbYQMOk90TxL/view?usp=sharing”  I repeated last Sunday’s flight as there were crosswinds that maxed out my virtual flight skills.   I failed to have a good landing on Saturday’s flight from KMGR to KNRB 

I am still hoping to make a menu driven Raspberry Pi 5 available to someone else that wants to fly their bike like me. 

I think my cycling cadence suddenly improved as I can delay my shifts until I notice the throttle position decreasing.  I have notes on a constructed standing desk to remind me to delay shifting until cycled a certain virtual distance.  But now, I can travel further without shifting.  I can not determine where the increased cadence suddenly came from. 

I am thinking about scheduling my bike for a tune-up in January or February.  I recognize that indoor cycling is awful for a bike’s bottom bracket.

Saturday morning, I enjoyed breakfast casserole. The tasty dish was prepared in anticipation of my acceptable church behavior at church on Sunday.

 

I have been paying close attention to first Grand Sumo tournament of 2026.  Alas, I could never be a sumo wrestler as I can not grow a top knot.

St. Luigi, Thank you for your intercession.  St. Carlo Acutis, pray for us.
