My first Pfizer shot last Thursday left me useless on Friday. My second is on 5/6. Not making any plans for 5/7.

Wheelset switch complete and no tick(of course). The wheelset which was available has tubulars. I have not been riding that bike much and had forgotten that tubulars have no rolling resistance. You almost don't have to pedal. First ride with them on this particular bike. It might be a match made in heaven.

While waiting for Mrs. Peel's front wheel to arrive from Poland (currently "Inbound Out Of Customs" - since Sunday early AM), I've been looking at older Dura Ace wheelsets on Ebay. Seems as if a whole lot of them are for tubulars. I gave some thought to this, since as far as I can tell, the Lotus Supreme shipped with tubular rims in 1982. But discretion is the better part of valor. Best to stick with what I know,

I'd been running 27mm Open Pavès on it and it was nice, but the tubs are much nicer.

Seriously, though - I KNOW what to do if I get a flat with a clincher. Tubular? I presume you tear it off the rim and replace with another pre-glued, pre-stretched one you have in the tire bag slung under your saddle? Then what do you do about the one with the puncture? Surgery?

So you're saying I SHOULDN'T go for the set of 4 wheels with correct-age Dura Ace hubs, but tubular rims, all for only $250?

If that doesn't work, what you said.

I'm not deep enough in for having had to repair one yet. Lots of folk are using tubeless tire sealant in them, either before or after the puncture. As long as you have tires with removable stems.
I've done fewer than ten rides on tubulars. But I plan on trying the first method at least once before throwing in the towel. I also glued them on, rather than using tape. I want the full experience, if I'm going there at all.
Edit: And on this note, I no longer use any electricity when woodworking. Except for lights and fan. It's much more satisfying. Just the way I'm cut out.

Shortly after my shot today, I experienced slight nausea, just enough to make me seek out an early lunch. After getting home, it was a 1.5 hour drive each way, I was pooped and took a nap. I don't know that I can blame the vaccine, we have to get up early and I got poor sleep last night, but I wasn't going to turn down a good excuse for taking a nap.

I'm shot T+27 hours and feel fine 
Still sore in my arm and I'm a bit achy, but nothing to really complain about.

Time for one of these:

Every time I built an ebike at Performance I wished I was at the Mesa location where they had the Park bike lift.

Daughter's first HS softball game of the season today. They are starting weeks behind most other teams in the league, and already have a 0-2 record due to forfeited games from last week. Despite being a weaker team than last year, I expect today's game to be a lopsided win. Their opponent is REALLY bad. My kid has been on a hot streak with her bat with her travel team (farthest ball I've ever seen her hit in a game last Saturday - approx. 260'), but today's pitching is expected to be really slow, which she tends to struggle against.
