And there's someone burning in our neighborhood. I reckon one of these puppies:

We had the Denver city contract, which meant if the injuries were too great to actually sign a contract, DUI, hit and run, etc, we took it to the impound lot for a set price. The closest we came to corruption was the police letting us go to the hospital to sign a contract. Back then, we received $12.45 for a "pounder", and our accident rate was $50.00 and a buck a mile. It was worth our while to swing by the emergency room to get a private tow.

Hey Bah Humbug, datlas or phrantic09 - have you gotten the ANT+ light control to work with the Varia? I've got it connected, the traffic is displaying on the left as it should, but I haven't had any luck adding it to the light network. ![foo](vb/cache//ds.jpg)
I think that I've got my main screen configured as I'd like it.
Still need to figure out routes. Hurrumph.

Both my front and (radar) rear are controllable, so tying them together would be nice. The other thing is that, supposedly, with the ANT+ control, there's a fourth mode with the light off but the radar on - this would be of interest to me in group rides. Since Wahoo doesn't do ANT+ lights, I've never been able to verify.

Figured out how to get my Strava routes over, at least ![happy b-day](images/smilies/bday.gif)
The routes have to be starred/favorited, but if they already are, they need to be un-favorited and then re-favorited, because of course.

I’m not sure “breakaway” is a good name for a bike model, even a steel bike. Just saying.

I want to ride but I still haven't decided where. It's going to be 109 here today. It's already sticky. Not a lot of groups to choose from. One is riding coastal but it's a 65 mile drive to the start. I could drive to the closest beach and ride by myself (with millions of others and their cars and attitudes). I could drive up to 6000 feet and ride in the mountains.
I should hire someone to make decisions for me.

But you're looking for instant gratification. And $2000 is not a gross price to pay for a bike.

But after sun down 100+ degrees in dry air doesn't seem it would be as bad as 100 degrees of humid air.

I'm having a hard time trying to picture what 100+ degrees of dry air feels like after sundown. I know what it feels like with the sun out, and it's scorching. And I know what 100 degrees feels like in humid air, and it's almost suffocating, the air feels like it's too thick to breathe.

I've been in Arkansas when it's 95 degrees with 95% humidity and it's a whole different level of suck.

I've been working in the wood shop, having finally had a good night's sleep. I'm back inside checking the price of MDF, a newfangled particle board I've heard about. For the top of my bench.
