The only one I have that small is the rectangular Hammy that was my dad’s. The small ones just don’t feel right to me.

Currently wearing my made in LA (assembled at least) hand winder.

I fawned over four of these at my LBS the other day.

Not me. I would be happy if I didn't have to go to a doctor for the next ten years, but alas.

It's a good thing, smaller watches are easier to hide -

I had not heard of Weiss, and that they appear to be manufacturing in the US. Last I knew, only RGM were making movements in America. Before that, you have to go back to 1969, for the last Hamilton movements out of Lancaster, or a few years earlier for the last of Elgin's.

And Butch doesn't say, "Five years up your ass? No thanks."

You have a snow shovel, but you don't have gloves?

They had this one at Target for $19.99 but it was not guru approved so I passed for now.

And with a waxed drivetrain there is no cleanup!

I just logged in for the third time today.

I prefer tepid. And instant. Talk about quick. I just went all in and bought 1.2kg from Costco. Yes, I too am a snob.

Winter returns.

I had a lite dinner of rice smothered in vegetable soup. And a handful of Hershey's kisses for dessert. I'm feeling fully back to normal now, except for no appetite. No biggie there. I've barely left the hammock for two days.

Having become bored with Autobiography of a Yogi, I've picked up 'Arctic Dreams' by Barry Lopez. A friend gave me a hardbound copy of 'Horizon' a couple years ago. Ir was a life-changing read. This one promises the same.

Currently 81A
We have had a much warmer than normal December.

a fellow pilot who helped me with my Ritchey, has one of these. He also has almost every other bike I could ever want. He belongs in this forum.

Who else is pumped about the JWST?

A group from the LA chapter of Major Taylor Cycling was meeting near here today and one of the clubs I ride with was joining them. I went along, despite predicted winds of 35 mph. They had 3 routes scheduled with the longest one about 50 miles. About 35 riders altogether and it was chilly but not windy for several miles. Once out of town the headwind was ridiculous and people started turning back. The fastest guys were ahead when some people I know said "enough". This was on a section where I can usually spin a pretty big gear but today I was in the small ring so I turned back, too.

We went into the hills and did a bit of climbing before returning to the start area to drink coffee and chat for a while. I hope the Major Taylor club comes back on a better day. It was fun while it lasted and it's good to meet new riders and talk bike stuff.

after the emonda and cycle cross bike I think this is next on my list. I still want a mountain bike but I don’t think it will get used.

I am Indy tonight right next to the stadium. The game hasn’t even started and the hotel is crazy. Have the early flight too, should be interesting.

The Boss just sold his publishing rights for $500 million. This follows Paul Simon, Bob Dylan, Neil Young, Sting and others in the past year or so.

That's not interesting to me. What is interesting is what this means for the music I like. These buyers are going to try to make their investment payoff and I think to do that this music is going to marketed so it becomes a major player in radio, streaming etc. This might spur new artists who make music in the classic rock style. Hopefully soon popular music might be interesting to me again.

WhyFi

You want four drop bar bikes? Or are you keeping the Cervelo to make it five? Way too much overlap for me, though I suppose that you intend to race the Emonda and CX?

bampilot06

want to sell the cervelo. Race the emonda, and the cx bike. Want the ritchey cross.

I regret to inform you that garbled '70s guitar music is not going to become popular again.

WhyFi

People say that, but when bands actually embrace the styles of bygone eras, they just get slammed as derivative and "a poor man's xyz." See: Greta van Fleet.

WhyFi

What can you fit on the Cervelo? Max for CX is something like 33mm, isn't it? If you can fit that on the Cervelo, and still have room for mud, why not get your feet wet with that before buying a new bike?

For that matter, why not try a race, or at least some face-melting group rides, on the Madone before shelling out on the Emonda?
