I suspect I'll be falling off the podium this week. For a couple weeks I was there for ride length and climbing. Last week, just climbing. But I didn't ride Wednesday as usual so there's too much catchup to do. Guess I'll just be midpack.

PIcs coming soon I'm sure. Before modifying the FD mount adapter I shopped for FDs and found I could get an XT double 11sp era (which should fit the adapter without drilling and tapping) for $17, so ordered one of those, and the Soma Dream bars I have on now are nice, but need to be on a bike with a longer reach, so also ordered Ritchey Kyote bars which sweep forward first, then sweep back, plus more Ritchey stuff on the Ritchey frame

Just read - well, skimmed, really - Sheldon Brown's article on building wheels. Seems complicated. Maybe too complicated (says the man who successfully disassembled, cleaned, rebuilt, lubricated, and regulated several self-winding, day/date watches). I think maybe I should get comfortable truing wheels first before trying to build them, esp. since truing is part of the process.

) advice would be to take the time and trouble to flag/mark spokes so as to avoid wind-up (or, if building, buy bladed spokes ) and to pay attention to stress relieving. Everything else is easy peasy.

That’s a really good idea. Cheap snubber.
Any chance you can add cleats port and starboard on the walkway so you don’t have to cross the stern with the dock lines? You could use them for springs as well.
We park (for the landlubbers) bow in. Have both sides of the slip lined with this: https://www.westmarine.com/buy/taylo...04?recordNum=5
Haven’t used fenders in the slip at all, but we do have the dock lines adjusted so that the boat cannot rub under even the highest loads.

Lots of breeze up in the creek yesterday. Had to get smart about the stern lines to save the Gelcoat and the GPS antenna cable (bad design). Went to West for some soft anti-chafe material and met an old buddy who was moonlighting there. He sent me back to the boat to do this.
