Road Cycling “It is by riding a bicycle that you learn the contours of a country best, since you have to sweat up the hills and coast down them. Thus you remember them as they actually are, while in a motor car only a high hill impresses you, and you have no such accurate remembrance of country you have driven through as you gain by riding a bicycle.” -- Ernest Hemingway

The fridge is running on a crippled motor. The service tech said it is not uncommon to replace motors in Samsung fridges. Ours is only two years old. We have it on a voltage regulator designed for digital appliances, but who knows how good it is. Our voltage and current are any thing but steady. He plans to be back with a new one on Saturday. Today's service charge credited to the next one. We were told that Samsung service just plain sucks. I disagree. ~$150, including parts and both service calls.

FB memory popped up from 10 years ago. Struggling up the little steep kicker at the end of a climb. I think Biker395 took the pic.

Not a coffee drinker, and didn't have a beer yesterday. May have to have a catch up beer.

You need Buzz Beer, from the Drew Carey Show - beer infused with coffee!

The original title was Cindy Lou. It was changed to Peggy Sue, who was the drummer's girlfriend. It was aimed to win her back after she broke up with him. They eventually got back together and married.
