Ah. The other two sets of brakes that I've had (505s and 685s) have both come with resin, so the 8000s are my oddball with metallic. The resins will squeal when wet and gritty, but this is on a different magnitude. It's also probably fair to assume that, this time of year, I've got more grit to deal with than you ever would.

All this talk about waxing your chain makes me think about doing it. Let's see, I'll need an ultrasonic cleaner, crock pot, two kinds of wax, Teflon, space in the garage to "cook", or.... I could buy a can of spray chain lube. 30 seconds of application. I guess my chain will last 1000 miles less? I'm not sure.

I have a job now. Two days a week. And I have to remember to stay out of Merida on Saturdays. Both the streets and the sidewalks are somewhat beyond saturation on Saturday mornings.

I only know half of the people on that list. Or at least half of those people I can link to a regular Addiction poster. I concur with a restart and being invite only. That will be less people to make me feel shame when I check my Zwift PR's against the addiction club members. I mean, I kind of feel shame even comparing my fake mile PR's with other people's fake mile PR's who I only know via fake relationships. But here we are.
Id probably rejoin if it was some kind of closed thing.

Only a fool would waste time on waxing a chain.

Creating a Strava club looks to be pretty easy. Anybody wanna volunteer to start it up and be the admin? Can there be multiple admins? If so, that would probably be good, since life happens and people tend to go on hiatus here and there.

Updates:
1. I am strongly leaning towards blood orange over plum.
2. Boat survey (analog = home inspection) and sea trial (analog = test drive) went very well today. I know I posted these were happening last week but the buyer is weird and there was a delay. But all of today’s stuff went super well. The boats in really good shape, only tiny niggling things found on the survey. As we expected but you never know, it’s a boat after all.
3. I am thinking about unquitting with Coach which I know is flaky but I also know will be ok with him.

i have a crazy case
7 yr old German Shepherd dog who I worked up for cluster seizures 3 weeks ago. Found hemorrhagic mass right temporal lobe, thought to be a brain tumor.
Spinal fluid, clotting times, platelet function, liver function, chest rads, and abdominal ultrasound all normal. He developed neurogenic pulmonary edema from his seizures but got over that fine.
Only other significant finding was hypothyroidism, and the dog is the poster child clinical appearance for hypothyroidism.
Discharged on prednisone, Keppra, and levo thyroxine.
Poorly controlled seizures since, I’ve increased his keppra several times. Today owners called he’d had multiple focal seizures, so I saw him back. Had a generalized tonic clonic seizure while we were putting an IV catheter in. Give IV midazolam followed IV phenobarbital and no more seizures.
Then a few hours later, one of the ICU nurses comes to find me. He now has profuse existaxis from his left nostril. Get that stopped with epinephrine, repeat all his clotting stuff plus his CBC and chemistry. All normal essentially. Total white count is high, a mature neutrophilia. I check a buccal mucosal bleeding time which is normal. Sometimes Von Willibrand disease, although inherited, can become symptomatic in middle age in dogs associated with hypothyroidism.
WTF? I’m going to CT his nose tomorrow to look for a tumor, fungal infection etc. And call the Coag Lab at the vet school at Cornell, who I’m told can be very helpful for specific tests to pursue for unusual cases of hemophilia. Which would be very weird because this dog was neutered without incident and we’d have expected bleeding at surgery if he was a hemophiliac.
Weirdness, I don’t know what to make of it all.
