Looks like there will be no Friday spin since it's drizzling all day. Hoping to do a nice ride tomorrow. I'm a rain wuss when it comes to the road so if it's still happening tomorrow I might ride off road.

It's funny, I became musically aware at around age 10 or 11 (mid 1970's) so listening to the radio the first version of "Blinded by the Light" I was heard was the Mafred Mann Earth Band one, and when I heard the original by The Boss it sounded "funny."
Same thing with "Pinball Wizard," I heard the Elton John version long before The Who's original.
Of course now I am older and wiser and prefer the originals, mostly.

I remember - both at Allegheny and Cornell, there'd be a couple days in the 50s in February, and everyone would be out on the lawns in T-shirts, as if it was 20 degrees warmer.

I'm undecided whether "Little Wing" by Hendrix is better, or SRV's.

Im assuming this is the shifter cable coming out the backside? I’m no expert but I can’t tell if it’s actually rigged into the shifting mechanism.

If it's coming out of that lump on the inboard side, yeah, that's the shifter cable. Lucky you! You don't have to thread it though the shifter.

It’s great when I go to Florida for the holidays to visit friends and family. Mid 50s to mid 60s and we’re in shorts and a t-shirt while everyone else is wearing a parka.

Yeah, my sister who lives in FL and my brother who lives in Hawaii often wear sweaters when the temps drop into the (checks notes) 70s.

Speaking, as we were, of covers of Bruce Springsteen, it reminds me of Joe Piscopo was doing Frank Sinatra singing "Born To Run".

That's another where I could go either way. S&G's version is so ingrained in my psyche after 55 years of hearing it and loving the song, but Disturbed's version is so good!

I was on the football team specifically to avoid marching band. It never occurred to me to just quit band. It was wasted on me. I grew up in a school system where free thinking was a punishable offense.
