I spent a better part of yesterday and this morning getting this bag of “stuff “and my AUX lights back on the bike and hooked up after the dealership removed them. Nice and tidy and took the time to add the new GPS. ALL FITS behind the headlight. 😳

I ordered plant starters from Etsy, indoor grow lights from Amazon and picked up self watering pots from ACE hardware down the street. Let's see how this works out for the home office.

You know about Multifactor Authentication to help level up your security game. But what about Re-Authentication with MFA? Take things to the next level as Dishan explains how to and when to consider this. .#Identity #MFA #Azure.

Final day of riding and we chose to hit the mountains again. Moderately difficult climb and a nice, tactical descent Through the valley. We opted for a speed run through a section we did on Thursday to end the rally.

Great, first day of riding in the high desert of Oregon at the giant loop rally. We took it easy today with the reservoir loop of 160 miles – beautiful scenery. retired back to the 1920s Central hotel for a fire, conversation, and a pale ale.
