The LG V60 5G Magnetic Power Adapter

Add caption

The LG V60 5g, when in the dual screen case, uses an innovative magnetic power adapter.  It plugs into a USB C cable, and attaches magnetically to the Dual Screen case. This allows for easy recharges without removing the phone from the case, as well as reduced wear on the USB-C port.  But what if you misplace it?

 

Simple - LG offers extra, or replacement, USB-C to Magnetic Power Adapter connectors for sale on their website.  It's a good idea to buy a spare  LG Dual Screen™ Charging Adapter for LG V60 ThinQ™ 5G.

By having multiple adapters, you can keep one connected in your car, one at your office, and one at home, perfect for a quick charge anytime you need it, without taking the phone out of the dual screen case!

 

Hope that helps!

Why I Ride. Sometimes I forget.

A post came up in a Facebook group, asking why you ride.  My response follows.

"I have forgotten.
It was for the wind, then for the challenge, then to see something new. Now, I don't remember. I rod around the metro a few times a month. Certainly enjoyable. But I have run out of 'new' within my time and money budget.
I have done the challenges I wanted to.
The wind is still good.
Cutting a tight corner is still good.
Playing in traffic is still good.
Anhedonia."

In The Moment - Photography

Often your best photographs come 'in the moment' - tonight, SamTheDog was in the moment and noticed a doe and two fawns walking the back 40. I let him out, distracted and unaware of the deer. Once he took off down the steps, I looked for what he was chasing - deer! I fortunately keep the camera with long zoom on the table beside the back door just for such situations, and was able to capture the doe:

Later, after I let SamTheDog back in, I was closing down for the evening, pulling the curtains shut, and what do I see? The fawns and doe in the yard directly behind ours. Again - being aware of what's around you allows you to capture the most interesting images.

So there you have it - amazing photos of the wonder of nature in the center of the suburbs.

COVID-19 Update, day 113

The latest news on COVID-19 infections from a friendly obsessed recreational statistician:

We had record New Cases from Alabama, Alaska, Kansas, North Carolina, Ohio, and South Carolina yesterday.  Florida pushed New Jersey down into 5^th overall. {Hurst, 2020)

And

Things have developed to the point that nothing less than a full shelter-in-place order will be sufficient.  The infection is so widespread, if people are out, the virus will be transmitted even if most people are careful. The fraction with poor compliance will ensure the virus is pretty much everywhere.  Close everything possible.  No schools.  No churches.  No sports.  About the only thing that should be open are groceries, Walmart/Costco, and hospitals.  And there are at least nine more states in the same situation right now, or will be in a week's time. (ibid)

Johnson County, KS Tested Cases:

These are Community cases - out in the public, not in long term care facilities. People who were out at the bar, grocery, or concert with you last night.  And yes, that line hit 100. All Time Record in Johnson County too.

Via Johnson County, KS - COVID-19 Update, July 3, 2020

My Take? Stay Home.  Wear Mask. Wash Hands. It's going to be a long, deadly summer. Avoid the news, avoid social media.  Read a good book.  Watch the birds.  Make things - photographs, crochet. Clean house.

Stay Safe!
