Farmer tan
So, I thoroughly cleaned a cassette by hand the other day since I was replacing the chain...
On the next ride to work, the chain skips. Great, I guess the cassette is worn. Ordered a new one.
Put new cassette on, struggling a bit with notches in the freehub.
Next ride still skips! WTH
Took the new cassette off, checked the freehub. Cleaned it out and lubed.
Hope I make it to the office today!
(Ultrasonic cleaner looking attractive at this point.)

Since (per tracker) mine is less than 2 miles away, something's wrong if it isn't here this afternoon.

I joined the dumb masses this time. Looks like a boring tournament, TBH.

No, a TimTam Slam is not like a Timtak Slam. A TimTam Slam is when you bite off opposite corners of a TimTam and use it like a straw to draw coffee in to the cookie and then eat it. A Timtak Slam involves long stems and bug-eye glasses - slightly different.

I have to have blood tests every 4-8 weeks. A few times I've gone to the hospital. Ridiculous wait time. Found a convenient LabCorp office were sometimes I only have to wait a few minutes.

It was a 5D Mk II, which are about $650ish right now used. So it may indeed be toast and not worth repairing. Sending out to CPS later today to see.
May be $500-800 to get the lens fixed.
Ugh.
