Last Friday morning at about 2:00 am. kidney stones decided it was time to exit the body. Spent three days in the hospital, then three days at home. Got up yesterday morning, went to the shower, lukewarm water, at best. Time for water heater repair. Part comes tomorrow, plumber arrives soon after the part.
I hate kidney stones.

I thought appliances only break down after a person buys a bike or makes an other extravagant purchase.

This may be the problem:
Cyber attacks disrupt PayPal, Twitter and Spotify in US and Western Europe
I think we are going to get more and more of these interruptions. The bot army ploy was blamed during the meltdown of the on-line Australian Census several months ago; the website where every family was supposed to log on and provide information was so overwhelmed beyond what was expected, that it just fizzed. The thing is, it seems to be almost impossible to determine who has initiated these attacks, as the linked article above discusses.
Welcome to the new warfare. Or maybe that should be warefare.
As a sidenote, I have never, ever been comfortable with trusting my personal files to the "cloud".

Oh, BTW, Linksys (Cisco) didn't say one word about the router being out of a free service period or needing to charge me for the 30 minutes on the phone with them. They were really good to work with.

My planned MTB island ride might be cancelled tomorrow. It is predicted to be gusting up to 40mph. I think they might not run the ferry ?? Even if they don't cancel, I don't want salt spray on my bike. Bummer.

Stopped off at an LBS while killing a little time this morning and laid hands on some 45Nrth Wolvhammer winter riding boots. Balls are those things chunky! In a 46 wide (which is probably what I'd need), they're straight-up Frankenstein boots.
