Serious advice re hearing aids. If you or someone you know needs one, and there is any (even remote) connection to military service, see if you can get them from the VA. They do a great job with hearing aids and the coverage is quite generous.

my right bike shoe took a direct hit in the wreck and the plastic sole broke off in front of the cleat. The blue shoes replace my daily walking around shoes that are worn out and the Cordovan ones are replacing worn out Cordovan oxfords. I don't replace until it is overdue. I routinely get 400 miles after the cords start to show on the rear bike tire.

At this time, the only way I would wear one is with a wire attached running down my collar to give the impression I'm on a security team. Otherwise I'm too proud, dammit!!!

dang, 8 am the latest I have slept in, in a long time. The child is finally started to sleep more which brings me to a moral dilemma. I wake up expecting the child to be screaming she is not screaming, so I smile to myself and go back to sleep. Only Now I can’t sleep because I am scared she has stopped breathing or something, but I don’t want to check because I don’t want to wake her if she is indeed a sleep.

I have a friend with VA hearing aids. They just replaced his first set which I'm guessing were several years old, same as mine.

A good set costs as much as a crabon bike with Ultegra. Medicare and most insurance does not give good coverage if any. My vets all tell me they get theirs for free.

I signed up for a 2 hour endurance ride on Zwift. I did fine but got bored after one hour and bailed.

I know that Ive told this story a couple times but my wife asked me to pick up aluminum foil at Costco. After returning with 10 years worth of aluminum foil, she informed me that she said cooking oil. And that's what finally convinced me that I had put off hearing aids too long.

20 months, and yes first child. She literally just started sleeping the whole night two nights ago. She usually wakes up at midnight and 4 am. So the night has been eerily quiet.

My first set from Costco were $1800 many years ago but I opted for a little higher quality set this time for $2800. Sound quality is much better or maybe my old ones had degraded and I just didn't notice.

BTW, 2ºA this morning. I'm thinking I'll put a rear end in a recliner today instead of riding.

I drank the Kool Aid and bought some of the cheaper Assos bibs from Excel and wore them on the trainer yesterday. At 30', I had a sensitive spot on my right butt cheek. I'm hoping it's a pre-existing condition from the trainer and not a seam or fold from the new shorts. I've had problems in the same area before so it may have nothing to do with new bibs... I hope.
