We had a great time in Arroyo Grande for Puppy Love's Nosework tests. Rented an AirBnB in an avocado orchard and the dogs had a great time racing around the property and trying to dig up all the gophers. I got some nice rides in too, nothing too taxing, beautiful routes. Plus: wine tasting.
The Nosework tests were something called Odor Recognition Tests. They are the entry level step for Nosework. The task is for the dog to find which of 12 closed identical boxes contains the target odor, which is a q tip with a drop of an essential oil on it. The three target odors are birch, anise or clove. They are tested separately but this particular event offered three tests, one for each odor, consecutively over one day.
Puppy Love is prone to worry and she doesn't like novel stuff too much. Which is partially why I started doing these dog sports with her, I want her to gain confidence by doing things that make sense to her.
She was a bit taken aback by the venue, and the other dogs, and not knowing what was going on, and the mirrored wall in the test room, and the strange people (the judges) watching her. But she put her nose down and gave me clear alerts each time, she passed all three of her tests. So proud of her, stuff like that is harder for her than many dog but she got it done like a tiny boss.
Waiting to be unleashed upon the gopher scourge.
Of course I texted her breeder afterwards to let her know how well our girl did. She mentioned she might have another puppy, if we're interested.... Lol she is the dachshund version of a crack dealer.

I've been using fake milk (mostly in cereal) for a few years. I'm not really picky, so it's suitable. Have had some fake cheese slices recently. I'm undecided whether they're worth it or not.

I was vegan for several years, currently ovo lacto vegetarian, cheese and eggs are my weakness.

Saw a dude nearly get jacked up trying to exit the highway this rainy morning. Far right lane is exit only. Next lane is exit or go straight. Third lane is go straight only. Dude driving a Forester in the third lane passes a semi that's going straight in the second lane and cuts in front of it in order to exit. Semi clips his rear bumper and lifts the vehicle up a bit, but the guy made it onto the exit ramp. Wondering if he pissed his pants. Hoping he learned a lesson: Slow the hell down and don't be so impatient.

That's pretty close to where I'm at. I still eat meat when I'm at restaurants, but anything at home follows the ovo-lacto idea. Occasionally we will do some fish, but that's maybe once every few months.

Fake cheese is an abomination, I'd rather just go without.

Yeah. In my rear view mirror I saw the truck slow like it was going to stop. The other guy was already down the ramp. Wonder whether he stopped as well. Felt bad for the truck driver.

Yeah, pretty much - the truck driver doesn't deserve that kind of stress.

Question: scuffed 5800 crankset or pristine 5700 crankset?
As previously mentioned, I'll likely be selling off the Domane. When I got my P2M crankset, I put the Domane's stock 5800 crankset on my gravel bike, but now I need to put something else back on it.
The 5800 crankset has seen <500 miles on gravel and around town (playground with the kids, groceries, etc) and has been the victim of heel rub and has a silvery sheen at the spindle area (I think that 105 is painted rather than anodized).
I also have a NOS 5700 crankset, which is the classic style 5-arm jobber (I had bought this with the intent of using it with those ill-fated PowerTap C1 chainrings, but the Domane didn't have the frame clearance).
So, which would be more attractive to (or maybe less noticed by) prospective buyers: the scuffed 5800 crankset with the more modern 4-arm aesthetic or the pristine but somewhat dated 5700?
