After a big layoff I was finally on the second leg of my career, was 8 years married and had a 6 year old.

Exactly what I had for lunch yesterday, but mine were prepared by professionals.

I've missed my while-I'm-cooking tipple since the Redbreast 12 ran out, so I decided to pick something up and stick with the theme of single pot still Irish whisky -
I'm already working on dinner (carnitas tacos ), but I've resisted since, well, it's only 3pm and I'm in a pretty hands-off phase for the next hour or so.

If you've ever looked inside of a copier, that ss spoke looks like it may belong in there somewhere.

Today's like Christmas for Mrs. Peel. New Dura Ace brake cables and housing. New Dura Ace EX non-aero brake levers to replace the non-original Dia Compes. New Dura Ace EX rear derailleur to replace the non-original Suntour. Paint for her chips, which I hope will be a good match.
Still waiting on the Kurust, on its way from Merry Olde, and the front wheel, somewhere between here and Warsaw.

That's cold blooded.
A friend used to race road bikes here and got to cat2, I think. He could make the sound of a tire blowing out and it was incredibly realistic. He would sneak up to someone and make the sound and when they looked to check he would take off. He did this on club rides and it was convincing.
He sometimes would grab the back of a riders' shorts and hook it over the saddle. Nasty.
On a club ride one of the women was dueling with a guy we didn't know up this 3 mile climb and he got ahead of her near the top. Prankster guy comes along and pushes her up to 20 mph, or so. and slams on his brakes just as she passes the guy she was racing.

I still take a foot out while cornering occasionally and drag the cleat on the ground to make a scraping sound. Scares the **** out of newbies.

Two things on topic:
1. I had to true a wheel today. I've been hearing a pinging noise the last couple days and had a spoke backing out.
2. You guys have nothing on me. Homecoming 1967:
