I am running 6700 Shimano chains with those stupid one-time hollow pins, so I don't really want to sacrifice another one. How easy/hard is it to disassemble the RD cage to fix this? If that's not too hard I would rather do this and keep the chain intact. If that's a bigger PITA I suppose I can find a break-off pin from another new chain I have on the pegboard.
Advice?

I asked my cross country coach in high school what I was suppose to do if I had to pee or poo while in a race. He said to just let it happen and keep running. That’s the day discovered winning isn’t everything.

I think RJ told me how to do this a couple months ago when I did the same thing. My search function skills suck though, and I opted for taking the chain apart.

Unless it’s the end of the month, our limits are more like guidelines.
I once drove from our house to my in-laws place in Houston in 3.25 hours. About 250 miles. That included potty and Starbucks stops for Mrs. Mojo.. Takes longer to fly.

I currently don't live too far from Newburgh, I wonder where they played, I can only think of one semi-suitable location for a pro team.

Speaking of chain replacements, I’m getting ready to replace the chain (on usps’s mercy for when I can of course).
I have hollow pins, and the chain I ordered comes with a master/quick link. My thinking is, the quick link goes in the saddle bag for roadside emergencies, and I use a quick link to set the chain. Question is, how do I break the pin without damaging the pin that stays inside the chain?
Also, I remember reading some people using one of the pins out of the discarded links, is that a viable option should I destroy all the connecting pins in the attempt?

There is German woman in the bike club here, married to a former US soldier. On one ride we happen to be riding together when I hollered out bathroom break and stepped into the woods 'till out of sight of the road. When we got going again she said when European men have to pee, they stop and pee and this is evidently normal. She did not say what ladies do in a similar situation.

My niece who still lives in the area tells me the ferry has been reinstated.
There's a community recreation center on Rte 32 and two blocks south of Broadway that I'm confident was probably the baseball site, Delano Hitch park.

Back to the getting dressed for winter riding discussion, I loaded my bike in the car and went back inside for a quick salad. I then set all of my clothes out in perfect order and proceeded to get dressed with my not-bib tights last because of the earlier discussion about peeing which I did have to do, BTW. So, all is well and I open the garage door and there is a 1/4"+ of fresh snow on the drive and it's still snowing. 
Undressed and hit the trainer which wasn't all bad because I got to climb a couple iconic Spring classic climbs, the Bosberg and the Muur van Geraardsbergen on FulGaz.

I was going to go for a ride this afternoon after doing stupid Zwift this AM, but it only “feels like” 16 and it’s Sunday afternoon. Maybe tomorrow...

Nice new backcountry hut.
Went for a nice tramp on the weekend. We stayed* at a recently opened hut. It is flash: it has solar powered LED lighting.
*I slept in a hammock in the trees rather than actually sleep in the new hut.
