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

Cranberry lemon bars I made for my bar friends yesterday. They actually looked very close to the recipe photo.

I like how you color-coordinated your nail polish with the cranberry filling. Classy.

do anything long enough and you become good at it. Maybe they are good at being bad guitarists? I like Tom's playing Tool notsomuch.

That was always my go to but Wheelsmith. I wasted a good portion of Sunday on it, and Amazon. The lengths may have been the problem 266 and 263. But they're shipping now so hopefully 4 spares per side will be enough.

you do spend a lot of time commenting on cold inhospitable places. Maybe that is your preferred form of masochism.

Sapim c-xrays are $3.49 apiece! So it's the suppliers not the stores.
