Nope. Per YouTube history this is the last music I played.

So that's what sheet music looks like.

Made another over asking offer on yet another house... find out today at 10:30ish if we got it.
Its a great house and will work really well for our family. It’s also got a huge basement that we can put a gym / family room in. I’m a little annoyed that it’s 50k more than the last one we lost, puts a little bit of a damper on my pool install plans, but we’re pretty excited about it. 3 of my daughters’ friends live on that street so it will be great for them.

I choose to have mine done by people who do such things for a living, especially since we are talking canti brakes that can be finicky and squeal like a stuck pig if not set up properly. I also pay a CPA to do my taxes. I'm worth it.

Someone in our NJ office has tested positive. There are not too many people on my floor as most are working from home. Wonder if it was someone on the first floor, where customer service and train dispatching are.

Primarily kitchen knives. Some foldable pocket knives. They're not all the same hardness of steel...not sure if that makes a difference? Longest blade about 8", shortest 3.125"
Edit: I also have a Fiskars splitting axe. That probably requires its own whetstone?

Also, cantis are another piece of traditional bike tech I won't miss.

Disappointing ride today. Felt slow, my HR was living in Z6, and breeze from the E threw my pacing off.

Are you certain that this doesn't belong in another thread?

I can take or leave bar ends. People always say that they're basically as convenient as brifters but I don't see it. I'll keep my set of Suntour racheting ones around anyways, they don't take up much space.
I have a deep seated hatred of vintage smooth post canti brakes, especially when trying to do a 27" -> 700C conversion on a vintage touring bike with narrow posts.
My Trek has modern spacing and Tektro CR720s and they were the simplest cantis I've ever set up. Really great braking with the stock pads, too.
Can you come do mine? Mine like to glaze over every month or so

Most of the time, I don't miss having brifters. But during a cross-PA tour back in 2014 I realized that they would have been much more convenient in certain circumstances. There was a long section of road with relatively small ups and downs. The road was bumpy in a lot of places with patches of sand/gravel on the shoulder. It would have been nice to be able to shift quickly and frequently through the range of the cassette to try to take advantage of momentum as I transitioned from going down to up, but I was reluctant to take a hand of the bars to reach for the bar ends. Instead, I pretty much coasted into the uphill until my speed dropped to the point where it caught up with whatever gear I was in.
