It's festive drink season!
Tonight's treat:
Hot cocoa with a shot of decaf and a shot of Fireball.
Need to go get some Akvavit soon. Fireball is kinda nasty, but the little lady requested some. I got a 10-pack of 'em but she's only had one in the past 2 weeks.

Sheds are too damp, especially for steel bikes that don't get taken out and ridden often enough dry out. I worry especially about condensation inside the frame and pooling of water in the BB. My wife's custom bike has a couple of tiny spots of through-and-through corrosion in the Cinelli BB shell from years of storage. The builder cleaned it up and said not to worry, but still...

Wahoo is going to send me a new resistance assembly for the Kickr so I don't have to return the unit.
LSS wants me to buy an Elite Tuo to keep in reserve.

Th best money I ever made, working for the man, was $2.75, as a chef. In 1974. I lived like a king. That was a the last jpb I had, working for the man.

I was the only employee and he never told me his last name. He kept about 25 or 30 one gallon anti freeze bottles filled with gasoline in a wood bin next to the office, which was an old house. When someone bought a car, I would put one gallon of gas in the tank so they could get off the lot.
I was routinely appalled at how he screwed his customers and his attitude toward everyone in general. I quit after a few months.
