Month 6 of the pandemic, and people are getting loonier and loonier.
But on a lighter note ...

I was out in the woodshop, in my sandals(my everyday footwear) and noticed some blood on my foot. Upon closer examination it looks like I stepped in a puddle of blood. I was mostly up on the ladder adjusting the fan.

What’s a trim ring?
I wanted to keep that car forever but the Achilles heel for that car was rust. Even so, it was at least ‘97 before I had to give up on that car.

I have a bunch of TDK SA90 cassettes. I still can play them too. Going on 40 years old, that is unimaginable. Good thing I recorded them when I was 2.

Full Ulysses this morning. Best I've felt out there in a week, at least. And fast, despite having the summer balaclava on.

I’m really tired of this heat and humidity. 21 days of 90+ in July. Today will be a bit better, but back to 100+ heat index tomorrow. Managed to get in about 30 this morning.
Sue me for complaining.

I wasn’t done with the old thread!
Contrary to what I thought, time in HR zone was underestimating my training load by at least 10%, even in the heat. I’m at 697 for the week and this has been a relatively light one. That should be plenty for an old crock, such as I.

So my latest thought, gravel-bike-wise, is to get someone like Rock Lobster or Cicli Barco to make a steel frame with the geometry of the Aspero. I like that geometry better than most, but can decide on clearance and get a threaded BB. And routing.

The chrome thing around the outside of the wheel. Your rear wheel has one in that picture.

Well, since you were only 2 obviously your mom & dad were grooving.

I'm pretty sure it was there, it's just the light hitting that wheel differently.
