Yes. They went up 16-0 in the 1st. quarter, thanks to a great catch in the end zone and a 70-yard pick 6. After that, they pretty much sucked on offense and D-Fence. The kicker kept them in the game with several field goals. One was around 57 yards. Another hit an upright but went through. And really dumb play calling. It was like they were trying to lose the game.

One noisy cogwheel on an otherwise good, high-end, cassette. Most annoying.

Went hard this morning for the first half of the ride. At one point I was looking down to figure out what cog I was on and I noticed my seats were no longer symmetrical. I found this to be odd, I could have sworn I looked at it the other day and they both looked the same. Roads were wet, so cleaned the bike off when I got home. It might all be in my head but I think the right seat stay is already starting to fail. I took some pictures but it’s hard to see in the pictures.

Yes, at my local Krogers. I bought three on trial and they are pretty good, sweeter than Honey Crisp which is currently the gold standard in apples at the moment according to University of Minnesota. I like apples to be firm, not mushy and the Cosmic Crisp checks that off and has decent taste. I could easily make it my go-to daily.
Edit: I see Cosmic Crisp is from Washington State University. #AppleWars

No damage on the chain stay.
No scrape on the chain stay either.

The Older Boy likes Red Delicious, too. We all think he's weird.

This is a good experiment. I say you keep riding on it and document what happens. For science.

That’s what I plan on doing. Shop won’t replace it until it’s not safe to ride, so I will just measure it everyday. In another thread someone pointed out the wheel doesn’t appear to be centered which is why there is a difference between the two sides when I measured. I have to figure out why the wheel isn’t centered.

Red Delis are okay, but - as Trsnrtr said - Honey Crisp are where it's at. That said, I haven't tried Cosmic Crisp. I have been known to enjoy a Granny Smith from time to time, especially when paired with cheddar cheese.
As the son of a man who was the son of an apple orchard owner in Washington, my opinion about apples is no better than anyone else's.

Take carful measurements so you know for sure. I hope that is never fails, but if it does, I hope you have a soft landing.

A little bit of trivia. In my job, I had access to a lot of original maps from the early to mid 1800s and my county was loaded with orchards as indicated on the maps. Acres and acres of orchards but two things happened: the invention of the steel plow and later, the combustion engine. The result was corn and beans became way more profitable than apples, pears, apricots, cherries, etc. The orchards gave way to mass farming and no orchards.
