Hey brethren,

I put my xsr900 to bed for a few months as I took my Triumph Tiger 800 XCa on a 2 month road trip to Malacca, Malaysia.

So, I pulled off the cover, checked the fluids, topped up the tires, and gave the chain a quick clean and lube this morning. Then she started right up. Though her little orange engine light decided it needed to be part of the party.

So, I have all the tools to check the reason and re-set it but it is too damn hot to be working on it.

Anyone want to make a guess as to the reason I now have an unwanted lamp?

An updoot to the right guess once I get off my butt.

I'm getting ready to walk another Camino. And I had the generous idea I'd make a few paracord bracelets to hand out as I walked. I posted my finished product up on a group and the feedback has been lovely.

Until this evening.

Now someone is claiming I... I don't even know what... Either stole the bracelet from someone else... Or stole the picture... Or am selling them...

All in, it's stupid and frustrating and has gotten fully under my skin which makes me angry. I should not let this one fuck wit bother me... I didn't make em for anyone else other than me. I was planning on handing them out and will do so but... This just left a bad taste in my mouth now.

Fucking trolls suck.

I know this is probably a very niche question and I'm not expecting very many positive responses.

Last Camino, I used several different apps at times. Be that looking for a albergue, restaurant, the turn I seemed to have missed 2km ago... Whatever. I generally walk by arrows or obvious tracks, there are a few times an app is useful.

This Camino I'm trying get off my phone and be less connected. When opening an app, it's hard not to see a notification of an email or message from someone. So to reduce the dopamine draw... I've picked up an Amazfit Trex 3 Pro.

This watch can store offline maps and gpx points in its internal storage so I can ignore my phone for more of the day.

At least..... That was my plan.

I've added maps to the watch using the Zepp app and I can use it locally, no problem, including making routes in the watch itself.

I'm having a really hard time adding any gpx files.

So, before I spend several hundred hours, making a new gpx route point by point in a mapping program, does anyone have any tips?

On Thursday last week, I had an emergency removal of a epididymal cyst. I know I'm probably panicking for no reason, but anxiety is not always logical.

I'm scheduled to start my 2nd Camino on June 3rd. According to Google I should be fit enough to walk but I know it's absolutely gonna negatively affect my fitness level as I'm going to be recovering from surgery for another week at least.

Anyone else have a similar surgery and walk about 6 weeks later?
