I noticed that, too. I guess that's all they need. It's a bummer that they aren't using a dirt track.

I got an unbelievably good price on my upcoming flight back to Merida, but $85 in checked bag fees(2). The second being $55. Never heard of that.
On the health front, a good friend finally went to the doc, with a variety of mild symptoms. Stage three adrenal cancer. He survived the surgery-- they took a kidney, the adrenal gland and part of a major vein. He survived the radiation, and is now on chemo pills for five years, at least . We had a nice visit yesterday. On the personal health front, my left knee has had enough of this daily hill riding. Yesterday I had pain in the legs while riding, a thing that never happens. Today I can hardly walk, due to said knee. |

I've been reading that the move to electric cars could put the dealers out of business since there is no real need for regular maintenance at profit friendly intervals. For example, on my Taycan, the first recommended service interval is 20,000 miles, and that calls for just a cabin filter and brake fluid flush.
Don't forget that some dealers treat the service dep't. as a necessary evil and don't depend on service to keep them afloat. I worked at a dealer where the service dep't was treated as such. |

Anyone else watch any Olympic BMX action? Their brake rotors are so cute. 100mm, maybe 120? Teeny tiny.

Or do like Mercedes did with a car my wife had some years ago. The HVAC air ducting was run in such a way that condensation water would accumulate in a low spot and never dry out. As a result, it would get a musty mildew smell. She was taking it in every three months or more frequently to get it "fixed", which meant they sprayed something into the HVAC intake. A few more months later it stank again. Fortunately, it was all under warranty, but we got rid of it after about two years since she had to take it in so often.

That tyre DougRNS gave me says minimum PSI is 110. That's pretty hardcore. 90-100 is what I roll at.

Yeah, still kicking myself for spending $3k on my Domane and another $1k on the wheels when I could have had this mean machine for less than the cost of my Garmin head unit. SMH at my stupidity.

When I swim laps in my pool, I tend to use the breast stroke. By "laps", I mean swimming back to the shallow end after diving into the deep end, because I usually put my beer in the shade at the shallow end. I don't use my pool for exercise. Are sporting events not real life? |

Why bother having one, then?

I exercise in the pool some. Usually treading water with arms only. It's much easier than laps.

It's the weekend.

If you don't have a pool it can be hard to go skinny dipping.

And pool parties? OMG! Nothing like having a bunch of bikinis in your backyard. I rented (shared) a house with a pool in the 70s. Good times and the last thing we thought about was exercise. |

You think this message will generate some buzz? I just got it in my inbox:
BikesDirect.com CEO SAYS: CHANGES COMING AUGUST 1st Happy Friday! Hello and thank you for being a valued customer. We hope this email finds you well. We are writing to update you with some important changes coming August 1st. Everyone at Bikesdirect.com works very hard to bring the best bicycles at the best possible prices. Our CEO who has always fought hard against price increases. The entire bicycle industry has been raising prices. Due to skyrocketing materials costs, parts shortages, container, freight and shipping charges we cannot absorb anymore. Why is the entire bike industry raising prices up to 30% or more? Container transport costs are a large factor in addition to higher parts costs. Before the pandemic, transporting one container was $3,000 to $5,000. Each holds 300 to 350 bikes. That is about $17 per bike. Recently, prices skyrocketed to $21,000. That is $70 per bike. https://gcaptain.com/2021-container-rates-surge/ https://tamebay.com/2021/07/the-ship...come-down.html The entire bike industry has already been raising prices up to 30%. Starting August 1st, Bikesdirect.com will be raising prices of many bikes. For over 20 years Bikesdirect.com continues to be the largest American family owned online bike retailer. Our deals will continue to be the best bang for buck anywhere even after August 1st. |
