Ewwww! No leaches in the Ches. as far as I know. Just huge mats of algae, sea nettles, snakeheads, Vibrio vulnificus, Mycobacterium marinum, and water that has no bottom, but just gets thicker and thicker like the end of a horrible milkshake. That said, we swim in it all the time.

I can make my Apple watch face look like anything I want. Vintage to the weather and stuff.

Plus you can talk on the phone, monitor your workout, and play music with it.

See, he probably was wearing a steel watch on the right all along, now he's trying to even them out.

I have two Apple watches, a 3 which is non-cellular and a 4 which is. After the latest WatchOS updatee, the 4 is only lasting 7 hours while the 3 is lasting 60. I'm not the only one with this problem. Many people with 4s and up have had their battery life go down the toilet and Apple says there is no problem.
So... how's your Apple watch doing if I may ask.

depends on the brand but the easiest way is to dribble it in on the spoke side of the hub. Some times you can get enough past the seal

Wore my new shoes with new cleats this morning. In my ways of the noob, I didn’t pay attention to my cleat position on my old shoes. My old shoes were so used any abused I thought the cleats only went up and down I didn’t realize they went side to side as well. My cleats were not in a favorable position this morning. The crazy thing was how much pressure it caused in my left hand. Lily wants to ride tonight so I am going to play around with it then.
My new cleats are extremely hard to unclip. Pedals are shimano SL and the cleats are Shimano SL cleats. Anything I can do to make this a little easier?

I knew a guy in college who was on the tennis team. He had the worst asymmetrical muscular development I'd ever seen!

you can get insole wedges to help with that. I am using them 2mm each foot to help my knees track in more during the pedal stroke. Closer to the top tube. Keeps my heels from rotating during hard efforts also.

Bam
one more thing with the cleats yellow are 12 degrees of float. Blue are 6 degrees, red are zero. I rode yellows for years and always hated how floppy they felt. Last year I switched to blue . Love the control.. a little more work to get them dialed. But way worth it.

In this case, though, it's not the angle of my foot on the pedal relative to level. It's the angle of my foot relative to straight ahead. My right leg is duckfooted, so keeping my foot pointed straight ahead keeps the whole leg aligned.
