I have serious doubts they would be available off the shelf, but I could indeed be wrong. I have been in the past. If I remember, I’ll check when I’m next in the city. Trying to back away from online shopping for a bit.

I’ve decided, finally, to go for a ride. The weather is just too beautiful day after day after day. I have become lazy. I would like to do the 36 mile loop I did with Alan, but may cave to the old favourite 22 miler. Vamos a ver.

Ugh, I had a miserable night. I just could not fall asleep, and my muscles ached along with a little funny feeling in my throat. I still feel a bit crummy.
Of course I checked a covid test, it's negative. I am still wearing a mask at work because if I have a bug it still could be covid (sometimes it takes 2-4 days of symptoms to test positive) or a non-covid virus.

I do suggest you test, if you have not done so. I lay odds 50-50 it's covid. Goes up if you have had close contact with someone that was sick last week.

Simon is teething again. He has started this screaming thing. It’s enough to make me want to rip my hair out.
Also he has no patience, he is never satisfied with what he has, and his poop is the worst smelling thing on this planet.
I should have named him Bam Jr.

I was waiting until today to pipe in. It seems the day of, things are generally decent, albeit foggy. The second day reality tends to set in. Eat your greens, take a half if and when you're ready, and take it easy. To me, two ibuprofen's and one Tylenol, seemed to be the cocktail of choice.

I remember the first time Lilly full-on screamed like that. Of course it was during the first night when I watched her alone so Liz could go out to dinner with my SIL. Scared the crap out of me. Now at least I know that that sort of intensity doesn't last too long, or is really all that frequent, but man that takes some getting used to. Shes 13 weeks old.

DougRNS good luck to your wife. Not to interject anything random, and I am sure she will be fine, but if they prescribe her chemo based on the 5FU treatment (which is the most common skin cancer chemo), and if you are open to suggestions from random strangers, test for a DPD processing deficiency before starting treatment. It is rare, but bad, and I know first hand from my mom in 2018 and sister in 2023.
Don't mean to be serious or concerning, and it is rare, but it is bad, and preventable, so worth an ask and a test if you get there.

Wait, so they have more phases of really intense screaming later on as well? Great.

Interesting to see how each kid has a different disposition sometimes. Lilly is a pretty chill baby most of the time. But she'll get like full on red in the face and screaming once a week or so.

Of course not. That's how parents get suckered in to having a second kid.
From my experience...Parenting will test every bit of patience, self-control, and determination you have. Just when you think you have things figured out, they grow into a new phase and change the game. There will be times when you feel like you have no idea what you're doing. This is totally normal...and will be worth it.

( my RideNow tubes have different valve stems than pictured above )
just had issues with Aerothan valve stems - and user error partly to blame
gotta be careful not to over inflate before installation - apparently this has been an issue with some (?) …
I like that the tpu tubes hold air well - as good as a butyl tube … and maybe slightly better than a lightweight butyl tube
at one time / years ago - I ran latex tubes in my bikes … primarily Air-B … had to pump them before every ride

I still run latex in my road/crit racing wheels and TT wheels. Purportedly lowest rolling resistance.
But that's it, butyl or TPU in the other tubed wheels. Got a nice light set of Aeolus Pro 3 TLR's on my daily driver (TCR) that I run TPU in now.

Two pieces of pain management advice from a former medical intern who valued his sleep: 1. Until you're sure you're out of the woods, take your meds on a set schedule and stay ahead of the pain. 2. Ibuprofen and acetaminophen have different mechanisms of action and are not additive in their toxicities, so they can be safely alternated at their minimum dosing intervals. This is very effective.

Tried something different in Zwift, the "Royal Pump Room 8" course in Yorkshire.
It was fun. Fast, scenic, constantly rolling but not grueling, and this old climber has-been grabbed the Yorkshire KOM jersey with a mere 3.8 W/kg effort.

Dearest Ramona passed away in December 2021. I never made announcement here because I didn't wanna believe it for a long time, then by the time I was halfway coming to terms with it I still didn't know what to say.
After a few brutal years in Phoenix, AZ I'm now in beautiful Flagstaff, AZ looking forward to some fresh snow tonight.

That segment looks fun, I can rip the hell out of a few minute long climb, above my paygrade from an FTP perspective. I'll have to go for that one sometime.
