...and yay! The used 52-36 Ultegra chainring set I overpaid for on FleaBay is out for delivery, so my tiny legs will be in hyper-efficient spinny mode for tomorrow morning's suburban flail. Hope the thing isn't too garfed up.

Hoping Whole Foods still has some of those nice looking whole bluefish it had yesterday. Nice night for grilling.

Just wrapped up a long, slow solo ride - just short of 89 miles. Great weather for it - mid-80s and sunny. So as to avoid a BillyD conniption, I decided to not take a pic of my mid-ride snack.

I thought so too, but she was in love. Who could blame her, really?

Yeah we call that pea soup here on the east coast. Oppressive.

Did you have the decency to wash it down with a Diet Coke?

We had a great ride today. Temps moderate and sunshine. 100% fun. Except for the huge dumptruck that was oncoming and crossed well over the double yellow line and came within a foot or so of hitting several riders head-on. That was NOT fun. Scary. I wonder if my lack of a front blinkie was a factor? I was wearing a high viz jersey.
Be careful out there.

maybe instead of a blinkie a better investment would be a go-pro or similar. At least then if anything happened there may be evidence for an insurance or legal claim.

Doctrine... One of my least favorite words in the language. I never thought of it in this regard though.

They're so cheap right now and prolly the best bang for your buck in terms of performance upgrade (if you're still spinning platters).
I kinda want to get an M.2 nvme SSD just because. I don't think that it'll provide any real improvement vs my current sata SSD but... it's a newer form factor and therefore snazzier.
