Stimulate that Japanese economy? 
I'll hold off. I feel like there are going to be deals to be had in the near future, if I'm still in the market, that is.
This goes for the bike crap, too. I did order some Rapha bibs/jersey and Swiftwick socks yesterday, though (and they'll both arrive within the next 48 hours
); they were running decent sales on stuff that's not often discounted and I think others will be following suit.

Confirmation bias is real and can be dangerous.

I had a really great ride today. I knew that I didn't have much time to beat the rain so I focused on keeping my heart rate up quite a bit higher than my normal cruising rate for the whole ride. Guess what people, if you work harder on the bike you go faster! What a surprise!
I still got caught in the rain, but didn't get soaked so I was all right with it. It certainly made for some moody views though:

It's about addiction. From the composer, "Six short movements tell a life story in 15 minutes. Each movement is distinct in its timbre, yet all blend seamlessly to tell a haunting story."
Movements:
- Innocence
- Error of my ways
- Straight and narrow
- Fall from grace
- Sleep of the dead
- Abandonment

Now I must contradict myself and buy something.
The Dawes SS stock rear wheel broke a spoke. Drive side, natch. It has done this a couple times before and it’s a crappy wheel now getting old anyway so I am considering getting a new rear wheel. Any suggestions? Should be cheap, durable, I don’t care about weight. Ideally have a flip-flop hub but I have never used the fixed side currently so not a deal breaker.
I have never ever posted or even visited the SS/FG forum. Dare I post there?

Even dumber question: I have some old road wheels with obviously 130mm spacing. The SS is set up with I think 110 or maybe 120 rear spacing. It’s a tank made of steel. I wonder how stupid it would be to try to stretch and/or cold set it to fit a road rear hub?

I just filled up at Costco - $1.49/gal. Makes me wish I had a 30 gal tank, but it might have gone bad before I could burn through it.

I don't know about 110, but 120 should be doable if you don't care about some paint wrinkling on your chainstays.

I think it’s 120. May try it, although I have the upper body strength of a mouse.
