Road Cycling “It is by riding a bicycle that you learn the contours of a country best, since you have to sweat up the hills and coast down them. Thus you remember them as they actually are, while in a motor car only a high hill impresses you, and you have no such accurate remembrance of country you have driven through as you gain by riding a bicycle.” -- Ernest Hemingway

Checking in as I make slow but steady progress to post 12,000. 11,989 will end up being judged as high quality. The other 11 were probably posted in the hours after gallbladder surgery and those get exempted. Meanwhile, velo vol wishes he could keep up.

A possible music interlude may be posted if i get inspired.

As you were.

Musical interlude. Vocals are rough even for Neil. Guitar is nice.

Unscheduled evening musical activity. An associate contacted me late in the afternoon that they were unable to go.

The theater police chided me for taking this, so that you might see. #Sacrifice

$1500 for a Rolls? It must be in even ****tier condition than it looks from the picture!

I see a lot of rusted out hulks on FB Marketplace with ridiculous prices attached. Sure, there are some project cars, but some, it looks like they just went out, cut down the weeds around that car that's been sitting rusting in the yard for 40 years, and took a couple pictures, and now they're want somebody to pay them for the privilege of hauling it away.

Yep, that's the new norm. I still look at stuff but it's shocking what people are willing to spend on garbage now. This "everything is a buisness" mentality is just asinine. My 'bird can just sit there I don't care if I finish it or not.

VgG was interesting back in the early days but I can't watch it anymore, too contrived and all the wannabees have just ruined the premise. What exactly does "abandoned" mean anymore?

This weekends activities will be roof repair and shingle selection. (Say that 3 times fast)
That section of valley in the back of the house leaked again. So looks like I get to dig out my tool belt yet again.
Also, the grass is growing and trees are in buds!
