* I'm closing on my new home May 1.
* Today our old house went on the market and we got a full price offer. It seems sus.
*I've got jury duty the week of May 20th.
*Roscoe is in bad shape all of a sudden and we are taking him to the vet tomorrow at 11 AM
*At some point I want to schedule my trial run on my spinal cord stimulator. Probably going to push it back until June once things on my plate clear.
A lot going on. Some good some bad.

Our mighty Pirates got off the Schneid by beating the brew crew. Stopping a 6 game losing streak is critical.

The guy leading, and winning, this crit in 1968 is Jack Disney on a single speed. He was a 3 time Olympian and 5 time National champion. I never met him but people I know did. He passed last week @ 93.
Apparently he was a badass on the track, too.

Maybe 15k speedplay miles here and not a single problem! certainly one of the more trouble free parts of a bike for me.

We are going to LA in 2 weeks for Heidi's graduation. The USC graduation speakers have all been canceled due to P&R issues which sucks for the students (it's been all over the news. Sad!)
I HAD been planning to rent a bike for the week, but we have an apartment rental smack downtown which is NOT convenient for cycling OR for cycling rentals.
I may just skip the cycling and be a fast-walker for our visit. I know that's crazy talk, but as of now that is my inclination.

I know, it's tough to say no to that.
OTOH the idea of having to take a train from downtown LA out to near your area would be a PITA and I am thinking we may be visiting periodically in the future when we could stay in Pasadena or similar.
I am still not sure, but leaning against riding this time. Sad.

Dumb car questinon:
For the past week or two, I notice the Saturn is shuddering while coasting. It's fine and smooth when I give it gas or pop into neutral. It idles at rest more-or-less ok, with a little up/down in RPM 1100-1300.
My best guess is whatever controls the engine at idle is giving a little more/less fuel causing the shuddering when it's in gear and coasting.
Comments?
