- Called a few motorcycle service centers in the bay to make sure they’d be prepared for a quick visit this weekend. Peninsula Motorsports was the closest one that is open on Saturdays (Monday is a holiday so I’d have to do service Tues and leave Wednesday otherwise). I called and ordered front and rear new Michelin Pilot Road tires. Better for commute and wet roads. Should be a little under $350 for both.
- Took the Ninja off my auto insurance policy and added the BMW in its place. Premium went up by about $30. Would have been $450 to just add it, about the same as the Ninja. Insuring the salvage vehicle is less of a return.

- Moved the flask-user templates into my app dir so that I could customize the email text. Played around with the insertion of a brady image into the body of the html email, but image embed has a lot of caveats. You can base64 encode the source image into a string and include that, which seems to be the safest. In any case, I left everything as the default for now.
- PyCharm professional has a built-in DB browser. Maybe I’ll get it later. For now, I’ll use external tools to fill the holes. Ended up finding a free plugin (database-navigator). Allows basically the same functionality as db browser. Love it.
- Awesome report about who requested user data and if Reddit complied: https://www.redditinc.com/policies/transparency-report-2018.
- Remember, MongoDB can just be thought of as an efficient, persistent dictionary. There’s flask_pymongo to integrate mongo easily with flask apps, and there’s flask_mongoalchemy as an ORM.
