Back home after 34 days and have a lot of errands to do, one of which is fixing a leaky Kohler cannister valve in one of our toilets. Going to have to do some research as there is no sign of water running into the bowl or in to the tank. Almost sounds more like air hissing than water running. I'll figure it out.

Our slip was a long way from the parking lot, one of the farthest out. The lake level would rise and fall for flood control, and if it was over the flood stage we had to park even further away because the parking lot would be underwater. Once it was so over full that our walk from the closest parking to the boat was over a mile.

You will also need the two e-Tube wires of the appropriate length. I already had a suitable ceramic bottom bracket and rotors.
Total kit came to a bit less than $3k. Of course, doing that precludes any type of NBD for quite a while me thinks.

I did too. Got the Ultegra 12-speed crank with the left side PM.

Yah… I don’t need the PM, rotors etc but still need the rest. I’m going to hold on to the GRX 800 most likely to build a gravel bike for my wife. One of her good friends pretty exclusively rides gravel and I think she’s really like it even though she says she’s not interested.
My ex wife was scared at first, partly because her dumbass husband took her on a black diamond type trail way too early but she became a skilled mountain bike rider. The only time I ever saw her fall was when she hit a big patch of ice and slid out.
She loved the no cars aspect of it.
A lot of roadies try the dirt once and say "never again".

Back in the early days of our marriage (before kids), I got my wife to try mountain biking. She did pretty good, but one day hit a big root sticking out of the ground and went over pretty hard. She got really mad, picked up the bike, and threw it to the ground and busted the RD. The only thing I could say at the time was, "Honey, if you are going to throw your bike, throw it with the drive side up."

Is she a road rider? No dirt experience? They can be the toughest converts but you never know until you get them on the dirt.

Most of the stuff she’d be doing would be on pretty tame dirt roads, really she would just need some 35s to be good. When I do gravel east of here I never see cars except for 10 miles in and out, most of the dirt roads are empty except for the occasional farm truck or tractor.

They are being shipped slowly. Some people already have them. My wife likes her Madone bars that they substituted because they are adjustable and may not take the new ones when they come in. I'd take them but I think the reach is too short for me. I'm headed to the Trek store so I'll find out if they came in yet.
