It's the only of the sites that does a half-decent job from a UX perspective. And wow does it have flaws, but Garmin Connect and TrainingPeaks are even clunkier. The segments are just a bit of fun for semi-comparing with friends, but only friends, because anyone else's data is suspect. Even so conditions and drafting make it imperfect, but it's no different from things done before. I know people who had dry-erase leaderboards for hot laps of the neighborhood.

Thanks for all the wheelset help, guys. 
I'm sure everything is going to work out fine. I went ahead and pulled the trigger on the wheels, hopefully they'll arrive within a week.

It's a jewel, not a tool. Sad.

Of course now I notice that it's off-kilter. Got out of practice while work was killing me.

Hey Humbug, I got a second Japanese knife - a Mazaki 180 petty in white #2 (iron clad). It comes in handy. I still kind of want a bunka or 180/210 gyuto with a 50mm+ heel, but it's not a burning desire that can't wait; didn't see any irresistible Black Friday deals along those lines. If a TF Maboroshi with Wa handle would have went on sale someplace, that would have been mighty tempting.
I'll probably bring a couple few knives with me when we go to the in-laws for the holidays. I usually end up doing a lot of cooking and their **** show knives drive me crazy.

Tempranillo, nice. Very popular and noted grape from Spain. Oh, you also spelled crabon wrong. I'll give you a pass since you been away from the madness a while.

Now that you bought them, you know the next step. Post in the 41 asking if you got a good deal.

As for traveling with knives, I have a gyuto and a petty in an Ironman backpack with a rollable cutting board, avocado oil, salt, pepper, and a few other things I can't remember. It just goes in the truck when we go to Chatty or Boulder and makes the Residence Inn actually work for cooking in. Though I suspect we're the only people who stay there and actually make regular use of the kitchen. You could probably even bring only that petty, but I'd be iffy leaving an ironclad knife around relatives. The travel knives I have are a stainless-clad Wakui and a full-stainless Tanaka. They at least won't rust. You could look into a similar basic+ for the purpose, like the Suisin Inox or... there was one I can't remember off the top of my head with a rosewood handle. It'll come. Probably while I'm trying to get to sleep tonight.

For premium entertainment it’s best that way.

This is our local High School. It is the same one that Justin Fields (Ohio State QB) graduated from.

Never tried a bunka, but 50mm is a minimum heel for me. I like the height so much I tried a Kurokumo with a 60mm heel, and that's a bunch. My Bloodroot will likely be based on the Akebono and ~55mm.

I came across a sale on Cervelo R3 Disc framesets. I really don't need a new/different bike, but the $1200 price tag is threatening to make rationality fly out of the window.

I have one, as you know, and like it, but I would never have gotten the discs if given the choice at that price.

I'm still thinking of ways to justify the R3 when I have a perfectly capable <2yo bike that's not terribly dissimilar - the R3 would be slightly more aggressive and nimble and a little lighter. But still want.
