He wanted me to do corners by going straight through and doing a 270, whereas I preferred just doing a 90, which sometimes left a little uncut grass in the corners. But it was 1 3/4 acres and I was walking behind the mower. We had one like this, but the smiling face on that kid is pure b***s***.

I ran the old Rangers to 4500 miles on Castrol High Mileage, which is a blend. I did valve cover gaskets on them prior to selling, and the insides looked delicious. I know that's not the best indicator, but if you've ever seen a Toyota 3.0 liter on Pennzoil, you'd get my drift. 5000 kilometers seems very low mileage for synthetic. I would likely double it, which would be 6200 miles, and I'd be very comfortable even extending it a bit from there..

Well, since I am still able to walk today after my run up the Innsbruck climb on Zwift, I decided to throw caution to the wind and do Stage 3 tomorrow. I did not go COMPLETELY crazy, however. I opted for the Epic KOM/Radio Tower route, rather than the Alpe du Zwift route. I may have lost a lot of weight, but not enough to make me a climber. It still took me 35 1/2 minutes to do the climb yesterday.

All our mountains have been burning, though, and homeowner insurance is super high in the "fire zones" if you can even get it.
Had a Subaru Legacy wagon when I lived there before and it worked.

Is it gas or diesel? AWD? I thought if I moved back to the mountains I would like to have a Subaru wagon and a manual trans is fine with me.

The only (unknown) wrong is noises, etc. going on in the rear wheel.
Otherwise, having them jam the rjones28 saddle onto seatpost, replace cables, friction plates on pedals, hopefully. I have new bar tape awaiting when they're done. Oh yes.

pearl izumi elite soft shell gloves is what I use. I’ve worn them in temperatures as low as 25 and my hands were toasty. Can still access my phone with them on.
My wife bought me recently the pearl izumi thermal quest long sleeve jersey. I wear that and a wind breaker from temperatures 40 and below and it’s works fine. If it’s below 30 I’ll wear a vest underneath my wind breaker but on top the the thermal jersey.

PS if temps well below freezing (say in the 20's) I do best with glove liners inside mittens. If below 15F throw in a chemical hand warmer...or throw in the towel and ride the trainer
