Cats, though - when my brother and SIL were in their "living in the woods" phase, heating their house with a wood stove using wood he harvested from their 11 acres, he was amazed how close to the stove the cats would sleep. Their fur would get hot to the touch, so much so that he joked about them spontaneously igniting.

A tube amp that would drive the Magneplanar speakers I have would have been a lot more expensive than I could have swung at that time, even though I was single then.

Tube pre with solid state amp, but no cats. Only a dog that thinks she's a cat.

Got stuck @ work yesterday so I missed out on the Tuesday night ride. Did an hour of Zwift instead. Prolly same tonight. I have been chasing a creaking/groan on the Zwifting machine. It comes and goes pretty frequently during a ride. I can alter it by moving my feet around. So I pulled the crankset, serviced the B.B. reinstalled it in preparation for a ride. Walked into the kitchen to get my bottle..... found my noise. The cleats are making the noise on the shoes. I would never have found it if I wouldn't have left the bottle in the kitchen. Now how do I fix it?

I spent a significant chunk of cash swapping the standard pressfit BB on the Canyon for a screw-together one, and the creaking turned out to be the seat post needed more assembly paste.

Anyone, will I be able to ride around Asheville, NC in 34/30? That may get my weak little ass up a little bit of 10%, but not much. I don’t feel like buying and installing a new RD for a weekend.

Should be fine. Most of the hills there may be long, but fairly gentle in the 4-6% range. I don’t think I even used my bailout gear of 34-28.

Any suggestions for rides of a polite length for visiting in-laws?

Take Town Mountain road to the Blue Ridge parkway. Take BRP either direction. If you take it south, have a headlight for the tunnels.
