Road Cycling “It is by riding a bicycle that you learn the contours of a country best, since you have to sweat up the hills and coast down them. Thus you remember them as they actually are, while in a motor car only a high hill impresses you, and you have no such accurate remembrance of country you have driven through as you gain by riding a bicycle.” -- Ernest Hemingway

It would take me some number of minutes to Google/YouTube and determine which part is the carburetor.

I keep telling my son that he should be working on this for (knock on wood) his Christmas recital next year -


I really can't think of anything else that he could play that would be more appropriate, recognizable, and giddily loved. He would totally win the night.

I have 100 lbs on you so that's part of my problem with tyres.
With the cut, I have been having real good luck with an adhesive called E6000, I had a pretty vicious cut in a gp5000 last year,, cords showed in it. I cleaned it with acetone , glued it and taped it closed. So far its gone. Normally I wouldn't have even tried it. But it was almost a new tyre. Can't even find it now.

Cool. I’m headed to the HW store for ice melter anyway. No cords showing, but it’s pretty big and it’s in an otherwise good tire.

I've always wanted to try one of those.

I picked up a dirt cheap electric violin a few years ago. Found out that my wrists absolutely do not like being in that position. Let my dad borrow it since he plays mandolin. I don't think I'll be asking for it back.

Something is wrong. Seriously wrong. The good news is at least we get to 50F today and it will only get to 31 F in quasi-Sharpsville. I took today off so I'll ride and try out my new leg warmers.

Enjoying coffee now from the M'onks.

Brass, saxs have them. Flutes, oboes, clarinets do not, as far as I can tell.
