These damn package delivery guys that don't even knock when they drop stuff off - they're a scourge.
Anyway, my Rapha stuff arrived.
The Core Bibs seem pretty nice and comfy, though the chamois wants to wedge in my ass when I'm standing. Maybe that'll tone down with a little use and washing.
I'm really liking the new Core Jersey - it's a little more stretchy/supple than the previous and the cut is slender but not restrictive and/or painted on. I might have to order another while the sale is still on (25% off, bringing them to $60).

No, at most you’re lifting only part of the vehicle at a time.

Agree. That’s why I gave up on the idea of social distance group rides. It does not work.

Only TV we really watch is sports and the news. Without sports and only bad news, the TV has mostly been off.
Until yesterday. I turned on A Football Life on ESPN and it was about TO, which was pretty interesting. Then came Chad Johnson. Then Steve Smith. We didn't get through Jerry Rice. It was late. My wife was totally into it.

I watch almost no TV. But I started watching “Picard” with mrs datlas and daughter #1 . We have been watching one episode per day for a week. Only 2 more to go.

I have a pair of Bellwether bibs that are a bit tight off the bike. They disappear once I start riding though

I'm also stimulating the economy. I took my own advice and ordered a pair of cross tires and a pair of tubes. Off road will soon be a possibility. Easy off-road. No single track or technical stuff; just the option of riding without flaunting.

I'm pretty excited. I have been handwringing this purchase since the Tundra skid install. Addiction pushed me over the edge.
