Polished the family assault vehicle for our first tandem ride of the year this afternoon. 60s with 20 mph winds. Going to ride short and easy.

Waxing your stem would be worse.

Yeah, there's the GPS/computer mount on top and a GoPro-type mount underneath (for camera and/or light).
The combo mount is secured to the stem through the faceplate with extended bolts and spacers in place of two of the stock faceplate bolts.

It did not. I have two dead people and some life sentence stuff. I was supposed to be in trial next week and it got continued, which makes me feel like I have a ton of free time. Wife and kid are good. Ski school at Copper Saturdays in February, so a lot of time in the mountains this winter. Basketball season is ending next week and little league started yesterday.
How was the off season? How's the team? Is Mrs. LAJ loving her Tacoma?

I took Mrs LAJ's Tacoma in for a noil change, and general check, since it's still under warranty a few Fridays ago. "I like my old Ranger, but that new truck sure is nice".
The off season was long. A boatload of trainer/garage time, with not much chance to ride outside. It's definitely a love hate relationship with that space in the garage. The team is good. We lost some, we gained some, and the gals are just plain bad ass. valygrl is on our team, and she's killing it.

Kudo's. Makes you want to do more, now doesn't it? The week off will do you good, but spinning the legs a couple times if you have a chance, will help you big time.
Have fun!

Without even looking it up I can sense that’s not a glowing review of your future new SIL.

Ahh, I just need to give him ****. He loves my daughter and treats her with respect. He’s good with money. He’s in awe of my wife and me. Beyond that, it’s really none of my business.

Vain, But Lacking Talent
So I happened to find myself inside of a Harbor Freight store last night and picked up the ultrasonic cleaner. While I'm getting my chain totally clean, I think it's a good a time as any to jump on the chain wax bandwagon.

- Something to melt the wax and soak your chain (I picked up the $10 2qt Crock Pot at Target today)
- Your wax mix, bought or homebrewed (I got 1lb of Molten Speed Wax from Treefort for $17 shipped)
- Something to help dip/retrieve your chain (bent coat hanger)
- Shop rags

One of PuppyLove’s smooth doxie pack mates is a racing Weiner in his other life.
He won his Weiner Dog race down in San Diego yesterday. Lol from the FB video it looks like he won by 10 lengths at least.

i’ve never seen so many cyclist in my life. It’s amazing what the word spring on a calendar can do.

Except for that weird Dura-Ace 8 speed and I think 10 speed Tiagra.
More details here.
I take it the Windsor has the Sora?
