It's my day off. I headed out earlier for a nice bike ride as it was a beautiful, if hot, day. I rode into town, cruised around checking out some of the shop windows, and then rode to the south end of town where the shopping centers and Wally World are located.
While traffic was fairly heavy I had no problems and really enjoyed the ride. I cruised around the shopping centers, stopping to visit a store here and there, and then made my way home again. All total only about 10 miles of riding.
My laptop has been giving me problems lately with a loose power connection inside and what seemed a loose video connection as well. After I returned from my ride I took it apart. Sure enough the power connections had some broken solder joints so I resoldered them. The video connection problem was rather obvious as the LCD connection plug came right off the board when I attempted to unplug it.
As it is a surface mount plug it's a bit tricky to solder with the tools on hand, but I managed. Now my laptop is working perfectly again.
Also, there is now a thunderstorm rolling through. I'm glad I chose the ride first, instead of the computer repairs as otherwise my ride would have been rained out. Perfect timing all the way around.
