It was actually in the drawer that it belonged in: Roll's Cycling Electronics. I had looked in the drawer three times, but was apparently doing a "man" search, and not taking things out of the drawer. So I charged it last night and was set to go.
Until I tried to use it. It powered up fine, I went to clear old activities, and I bricked the thing. Totally unresponsive, hung up with the backlight on and ALL ACTIVITIES highlighted. So it was a paperweight.
In Geneva, I had the bright idea to stop at a bike shop and see if they know how to unbrick it. So three miles pedaling out of the way to discuss over that Genedva Cycle Works is CLOSED on Wednesdays.
Now that I am in Geneseo for the night, I futzed with holding all four buttons in and got it to finally turn off. We'll see how this goes.

As I just read four pages of posts, it made me wonder whatever happened to @ls01 and his flashback/catch up posting?

Yeah, so I think I rode my first century of the season. I have no idea of mileage, but as a guess 108ish. I'm sure there was some climbing involved. I'm sure there was an averaged speed involved. I know I was two hours quicker than last year, but much of that is due to less wind (4-7 mph today, 10-15 mph last year) and to the fact that I never did find my camera. No gratuitous pics to follow, but there is a Walmart across the street, so I may fuel the economy with a new one. You're welcome.
I got a flat tire 8 miles from my house, so I'll patch that tonight. #prolly . The Road Morph pump is crazy awesome.
Century #2 of the season is tomorrow, followed by century #3 on Friday. I way over packed the SS, and the damned thing probably weighs 35 lbs. Hills are definitely being uppity.

I'm with you, @Heathpack! Craziness indeed. I don't walk across the street unless my Garmin records the activity.

@RollCNY Congrats on the century. Always feels good to get that first one out of the way.
As for the flat, I can commiserate. My wife had a flat 1.8 miles from the end of our metric century today.

Makes you look younger, apparently. How old?
Nice goat.
Remember when people used to talk football here?
Took me a while to figure out what that was. Still not sure. A hose with a handled nozzle? At first I thought it was an electrical wire.

2. What bike is this? I'm confused as to where you are with bikes these days. If its the Lotus, you owe us pics of that too.

It's an outside wash bay at a car wash. I assume it's for semi tractors and other vehicles too big for the regular bays.

It was going to be the Lotus, but my frame bag occludes the down tube shifters. It is the Felt single speed. Same ol', same ol'
