Nothing like a nice ripe mango. They're like peaches with attitude.

Thanks, Doug!
Clear evidence of near drought conditions for August. In fact if not for a big rain just a week ago the monthly total would have been just one inch.
Not to mention the 10 days of 90° or more.

WhyFi is going to take up home metal work and machining just to save $40 on a "must have" coffee gizmo accessory. He's probably waiting on the shipping on the lathe now.

So, I'm riding home from work in a closed lane of a 2-lane road that has "No vehicles" signs sprouting out of it. I see a buddy of mine coming the other way on the opposite side of the road. I turn around and yell at him and smack into a sign at about 12 mph. Oh my ******g God that hurt. I didn't go down, but I have bruises on my right shoulder, thigh, and hand. I don't think they're running the TT tomorrow, but I'm not sure I could do it. Jeez, I'm an idiot.

In still other marital compromise news, Mrs. GeneJockey surprised me by being completely understanding about my ordering a new wheelset to replace the cracked Fulcrum Racing 5s on my Bianchi. She even said, "Well, duh. Stuff wears out".
I wonder if she'd be as understanding about a new BB and crankset?

Might work. When I told her the old wheels were from 2006, she said, "That's 13 years old!"
Mind you, my steel frames are 28 and ~30 years old......

While you recover, to kill some time, sue the state for putting that post there.
A guy I know hit a sign post, and he blamed the state because they moved the post.

My moment of stupidity on the road:
I'm stopped in the shade enjoying some 75° water, when I notice something on my tyre. At closer inspection I see it's a big ol' goathead.
"Hmmm, wonder if I should ...
pssssssssssssssssshhhhhhhhhhhhh.

The drunk's lawyer successfully argued that though the sign was big enough normally, his client couldn't see it well enough while he was drunk.
