Yeah, and a puny pumpkin field. ;)

If I wasn’t lazy, I’d take some pics of real pumpkin fields. :innocent:

Nice Allez, though. :thumb:

It depends on the vig.

I hung around the house this morning, instead of riding. Waiting for a very special delivery. A #5 hand plane, from the war years. All the parts are there and they all function correctly. Clean it up, tune it up. and make things with it. I would go riding now, but the dogs would hold it against me this late in the day.

There must be some file photos in the archives.

My sister's going through this at the moment, with my anti-vax niece.

Just picked up the bike. It’s good to go. Pinch flat and some scrapes on rear derailer and right shifter.

Whew. Broken in, but not broken.

My nephew is getting married in DC in 9 days. Must be vaccinated to attend.

vaxxed or not I wouldn't go. Send money saves precious time.

It hasn't happened, but I don't think I'd take an unvaccinated client. In my office. No thanks.

sbxx1985 10-14-21 04:41 PM

bam - sorry about your crash on your new bike. As it sounds, many of us have been there. I broke my Cervelo once. Still alive and kicking.

Well, something to look forward to as the dark and cold approach: Rich owner wants to to do Newport-Bermuda 2022. That’s the big show with the billionaires, the pros, and the superyachts, plus a hundred other boats. I’ll buy the t-shirt if we go.

sbxx1985 10-14-21 04:45 PM

We sometimes have issues with Specialized, but this is a really nice bike.

That's the tourist patch. I think they have some real pumpkins elsewhere on the farm.

Sounds wise. Lots of cognitive baggage implicit in that choice, quite aside from the health risk.

Exactly. I only take nice clients.

I'm slightly tempted by this golden beauty on marketplace, but they need to make it cheaper than 700 bones with that rear triangle damage.

Hot! White on Blue woulda been nicer, but probably hard to find it in the right blue.

Yes, I figured that; I was just being an idiot. We have huge fields of pumpkins as I've mentioned numerous times. Our harvest should be nearing the end but there are a couple large fields about 10 miles south of me that I've ridden by a few times lately and they are weird to see when the vines are all gone. Looks like a bunch of baby heads. Spooky! :eek:

Some crooks are nice.

I probably have a number of unvaxed clients, a handful that I can confirm. The good thing is that most of my interaction is phone, email, and teleconference. As long as they pay, I’ll bite my tongue.

Need a cabin boy?

Would be nice to have such a caring governor.

I threw that idea out for the kid’s, but she shot me down. Seems there is one really good friend of the groom’s that refuses to get the shot. I would care if the unvaxed were excluded.

I might actually take it on shorter, flatter tours so I don’t have to hang out by the bathhouse or laundry room to charge the phone.
