That looks almost exactly like a map of average annual rainfall, which is why the temp swing so much in those places - dry air. Heats up and cools down faster.

I'm hoping she doesn't realize that there is a 5th bike in the garage...

I had to put a battery in my three year old Odyssey, also $180. While shopping around, I was told that new cars have a lot of electronics and just opening the driver's door energizes a lot of different systems even before the car is started. I was warned against leaving doors open and to avoid using the accessories position with the motor off. Since I got this story from several sources, I have to assume it's true.
Not germane to your post, but every source told me that Honda batteries were junk and don't buy one as a replacement.![Smilie](images/smilies/smile.gif)

That was the start of my woes, too. After that, it would need a boost if I left the door open for even 10-15’, luckily it was usually in my driveway while I was doing something. After it did it two times in parking lots, I replaced it.

I have to stay out of the kitchen on these winter mornings when it gets direct sun or I'll be cleaning and polishing for hours.

Tthe moisture coming from the oceans, as made clear by the blue outlines of much of the land mass, including New Zealand.

My friend was saying yesterday that her brake levers are too far from her hands in the drops. She has Ultegra 6800. Is there an adjustment or does someone make a shim to bring the lever closer to the bar?

Funny about the west coasts of so many areas - so close to the ocean and yet so dry. Almost like there's more to it than simple proximity to the ocean.

Seems like the STIs have adjustable reach. There are YouTube videos.

So much better than the old days, when the reach adjustment was 'Stick your fingers out more!'
