We'd like to keep our Sportwagen a couple more years. It's getting up there in miles, though - we crossed 150k on the VA trip - and the niggling repairs keep comin'. I'm trying to take on some of those repairs, though - paying $800 here, $500 there, $1k there, etc, etc gets to be hard to swallow, otherwise.

I am slowly re-doing this one. The original Future Shock 1.0 was replaced under warranty with the good one (2.0 hydraulic damping), and I've since changed the brakes to XT and crank to GRX 810. Just wheels and shifter/rear der. to do. Thinking about going Di2. Updated pic.

NWS Flagstaff says the numbers aren’t official yet, as it can still snow into May at high elevations. However, between Oct. 1, 2022, to April 15, 2023, Flagstaff recorded just over 163 inches of snow compared to the average of 87 inches. Williams also saw staggering numbers, coming in at just under 140 inches, over twice the average of 63.3 inches.
This isn't the 35th parallel that I know. #WestCoastMadness

IKR, it’s a haul, it just feels nearby compared to Highland where I formerly lived.

We will be down in orlando an extra day now. So we are taking her to Universal now too. Before we didn’t have time for that. American and Delta do not fly direct to Orlando from Richmond or Orf. I’m not 2 legging it with 2 kids, and I sure as hell am not flying standby.

But no sign of rain; it will likely also be a mowing day. The last for a few days.

Is there a setting on an iPad, that adjusts how sensitive the screen is to taps? I am having to tap with more force than I would like.

I came across the weirdest, fakest ride on Strava 
I clicked on a hill segment that I'd PRd this morning and noticed that the KOM is suspiciously fast, so I looked at the guy's ride. So odd. There's only speed data - no HR, cadence, power, etc, not even any device data. On this 74 mile "ride," the moving time and elapsed time are exactly the same. The map looks like it's just a route that was drawn on RideWithGPS or something - all sharp angles with no human wandering, just precise tracking down the middle of the roads, crosswalks, and paths -
The speed tracking is similarly artificial and angular.
What the hell motivates people to take the time to cook up something like this?

Mowing done. I realized I mowed this lawn for the second time this week. It didn't really need it for another day or two, but the wife cones home tomorrow and she likes the place to.look nice.Velo Vol .This is the non-stoney part of the (tree) farm. But as you can see, it functions as an oval driveway. And very nicely at that.
That tree there in the middle is a ceiba, the tree of life to the Maya. It's the one type of tree that didn't come down in the hurricane suffered in Belize, shortly before our arrival. There is one in a neighboring village that takes up a whole park with its crown. The first tier of horizontal branches are in the neighborhood of
40 feet long.

We had a good but sweaty ride. I am glad I had my Halo(tm). Dew point is 72. Sticky.
At the start of the ride, I noticed my RD would not go to the smallest cog. And a little lag even going to the second smallest. That means RD cable starting to fray inside shifter (I have been expecting this as last cable change was mid-April in advance of Mallorca trip), the cable has roughly 3500 miles on it. I economized my rear shifting and was able to finish the ride.
While on my ride, I got a text that one of our nurses just tested positive. We had a 2 hour bowling event yesterday for staff morale, and she was about 3 feet away from me for at least 30 minutes, so I am watching for any symptoms. Not

Is that bamboo?
I guess it's difficult for trees to get very tall there because of hurricanes?

If you get it, don’t prescribe yourself Plaxovid. It sucks.
