Went for a social ride today with four others. I took the free bike. 61km with 839m of climbing. I am fat and slow. It wasn't bad on the flats. The hills were a different story. I had to walk the steeper parts on a couple. I needed either a lower emergency gear or stronger lungs. Still it was a nice if cool day out and we did spend a about half the ride above the fog and low cloud covering the city.

And friend and I were talking about movies/TV shows yesterday, and the we landed on the topic of GoT. I was mildly surprised to realize what an afterthought the series had become for me, both book and TV show. Between GRRM's glacial writing pace and the drop-off in quality of the TV show (the year plus hiatus doesn't help, either), I've become completely 'meh' on all things Ice and Fire.

Ask the lawns.
Nope.
A few hundred yards short of the world record, though.

I must have inhaled a gallon of acetone fumes getting the old glue off one of the HED wheels yesterday.
This morning I'll put the garage door up to attack the other wheel.
Also, harbor freight latex gloves disintegrate quickly

You need a vulcanized rubber glove to withstand a solvent like that. Also I wouldn't be surprised to learn that vegetable oil is a pretty good solvent for tubular tire glue. I’m not saying it is for sure, just that I would give it a try. Then you could use just a little acetone to clean up the oil.

I only started watching GoT this past February, and I've never read the books. I can kind of tell that there's been a drop in the story quality in the last season, but it's not enough to bother me. In that, I consider myself lucky; but the year-long wait for the last season is still really frustrating.
I would have pegged @Bah Humbug more as a Baratheon- what with all the rowing and running Gendry has to do

Besides, it would be more than a little pretentious to use my own family crest.

We now have a person whose job it is to update us on drug shortages. We get emails regularly on the subject. Today's update, this is crazy and on-going. Its things like pain meds, antibiotics, muscle relaxants. Huge drain of resources, having someone just to find drugs that you used to be able to call up and order from your local drug rep. @datlas @surgeonstone do you guys go through this too??? #healthcareisbroken
Current Shortages:
Fentanyl injectable - None to be found. Use it carefully. We only have ~5 - 50ml vials (comes in boxes of 25 x 2 ml ampules)
Hydromorphone - None to be found. Only a few 25ml boxes left.
Methadone- I am finding some. Very difficult.
Bupivacaine/Marcaine 0.5% - NONE
Bupivacaine/Marcaine 0.25% preservative free - Found some. Very difficult. We'll have to use this for the bupivacaine epidurals instead of the 0.5%.
Erythromycin injectable - None. Maybe 2019 ????
Gentacin ophthalmic ointment - none but I can find the drops
Methocarbamol 500mg tablets - Huge shortage but I found some lurking in Illinois. I could only order 2 months worth.
Vetoryl 5mg - Also found some but I only have 2 months worth.

Curious. How many of the male addictio regulars shave their legs. Not judging, just curious.
