What is more offputting to me is that the speedo only goes to 80. ☹️

Speedo is just a brand; they make board shorts and lots of other companies make men's brief suits.

Yep, I'm suffering. Non-stop head, ear, teeth, throat aches.
As posted on Strava, I've been dealing with a persistent cough for a few weeks, ever since I had bout with a cold. It's caused by a throat irritation. Some kind of nasal drip? I had a similar problem about four years ago. Back then I saw the doctor, throat doctor, and they didn't help much. It eventually went away. I've thought it might be some kind of allergy, but I didn't have this lasting problem last year, or the year before, so :foo:. Whatever it is, it seems to slowly be going away, again. Maybe. Other than that, I'm doing just fine. |

58 km. 1/3 of an Imperial century. When it's this hot, that light headwind is a gift.
it occurred to me to mount my dyno hub and lights, and then I could get out pre-dawn. And maybe get a full century. |
A motorcycle accident two blocks up the street, pre-dawn, resulted in a single fatality. 27 year old male.

My box fan chose today to freeze up. I opened it up and squirted a goodly amount of WD40 into the axle cavity snd it works a treat. I wonder if I would have been better off with PB Blaster. Surely the opportunity to test that option will arise.

I have lately been wearing cotton madras shorts for cycling. An interim measure until I find something better. Polyester or nylon.

On a solo ride today heading home on a residential street through a sketchy area and I saw a young man lying motionless in the dirt. I turned around and rode over to him. His eyes were closed but I asked "Are you all right?" Without moving he says "Yeah." There was a garden tool in the dirt near him, as if he was working and just collapsed. He was on his left side and his head was in what looked to be a very uncomfortable position.
"Do you need any help?" I asked. "I'm good" he says, still motionless. I told him I thought I should check on him and he mumbled something about me stopping and I rode off. Weird. |
I still wear a mask outside the house so I haven't caught any colds or sniffles or anything else. I don't miss them.

I really like the new Bronco. Prolly will never buy one, but would be tempted later on down the road.

If I were in the market, I’d take a good look at them. The only problem is to get one you are paying way over MSRP, and I don’t do that. They are probably still close to two years away from normalizing. The Bronco Sport, by the way, is a joke. |

As mush as I like to pretend I am a car guy, I have gotten to the point in my life I don’t care. I currently drive a mini van. Doesn’t bother me one bit, but I do wish the gas mileage was a little better. |
Is this the Ford Bronco we're talking about? I thought it was a bike.

Instead of throat ache, I should have said raspy and constricted. I ache from my head to my knees during allergy season.
Im not sure if I am getting allergies, a cold, what ever my daughter has, but it has knocked me down. I’m super fatigued and achy but no fever. Been sleeping most of the day. If the head ache would go away I might be able to function. |

Im all about reliability, and that is more important to me then owning a potential car. If the reviews and reliability suck I will never buy one no matter how much I like the car.

Doesn’t bother me one bit, but I do wish the gas mileage was a little better. I pretended to be a car guy when my family was young. Then got a 911 when I no longer had to haul kids and car seats. My “daily driver” at the time became a modest Nissan Rogue. I wouldn’t buy an expensive car to park at the airport. |

Went to REI with the wife this afternoon. Tried on a couple of things. Afterward, found myself walking around the store with my shirt on backwards.
I may need a guardian. |
