I've dodged a bullet thus far. Snow drifts remain under 0.1 cm.

An Awesome Shovel will do in a pinch. Do you have one of those?

Update: Snowflakes spotted!!!!

I can still see grass.

As I recall from my time as a Wawa clerk, the pre-storm shopping list is: milk, bread, chips, Tastykakes.

I need a new shovel to clean up after my blower. My neighbors all have those crooked ergonomic shovels and I have FOMO.

Yes.

abshipp 

One of these?




Can confirm your FOMO is legitimate. They're way better than any shovel I've ever used.

I don't know if mine is True Temper or not. Maybe I should get some of their bike tubing decals on there

rjones28 

Good luck with that.

The rear wheel on my Seven started thumping pretty bad when braking. Took it off and found one of the eyelets was broken on the inside and there were cracks at that spoke hole. I think the thumping came from low spots in the brake track from the rim being worn. It's an Open Pro and it's now waiting for the wheelbuilder to assemble it with the old Record hub.

That was pretty much my experience with Canyon. I was seeing stock depleting day by day, from the bottom up while I dithered. If I'd waited another day, I'd have had to pay another $600 and gone with the Ultegra version, where stock was depleting slower. I did consider it but figured I could sell Mrs. GeneJockey on a $2400 bike easier than $3000.

"Twice the bike for only $600.00 more"

That's how I would have played it had the original choice been disappeared. I have agonized a bit too long and had to employ tactical explanations.

rjones28 

Same.

Better to ask for forgiveness. Of course, that will cost you a shopping trip for the wife.

Years ago, I was buying some camera gear, and the sales guy was trying to upsell me on a lens saying that it was only $600 more and quite a bit better. I told the guy that that was incorrect - that by the time my wife got done with her revenge shopping it would actually cost me at least twice that much.

There was a short period where it was starting to look whiteish on the lawn, but now that has faded and the precipitation is mixed. I don't think it's going to happen.

They may have gotten measurable accumulation at the airport, though. #GoldenSnowball

Thats why I bought her the domane al3. It was the last one trek had, the only one in a 49 between the three trek stores in my area, and the only one they were going to have until the end of 2021. They had carbon ones in stock but I didn’t want to spend that much, and two I was worried with her having carbon for her first bike.

Don't have a backup wheel or a backup bike to use as an organ donor short-term??

phrantic09

They suck

This is the beauty of your wife purchasing a bike much more expensive than yours, you get a lot of latitude.

My R3 w/Di2 was still about $2500 less than her 105 equipped Guru (she bought pre marriage).

Been busy lately? Giving COVID shots?

datlas 

Yes busy. Lots of questions about shots but here we are not extending beyond stage 1A until we are notified and I have no idea when that will be. I am guessing in a few weeks.

Mojo31

This is what I have. Are they any good with snow?

Recently leant one just like it to some neighbors so they could chip away the ice that had built up around their car's wheels. Lack of street treating combined with freezing and re-freezing turned my street into a skating rink. So many cars and trucks got stuck outside my house one day. One FedEx truck was stuck for about an hour.
