Last I checked it's illegal for USPS workers to accept any tips or cash gifts. But they are allowed to accept a modest non-cash gift.

Hubs. My spokes are random leftovers. Prolly another holdup-- the thought of going through all those spokes. I do have one wheel ready to go. Just need to do it. Perhaps next week. I could begin Christmas Day

The wife tells me Amazon has forbidden their private sellers from shipping via FedEx. Too slow and unreliable. Meanwhile, my latest (and last) FedEx delivery has been in Merida since last Wednesday. Nine days. Today was the last day it could be delivered, according to their schedule. This morning I got a delay notice. Go to their website and find they have no idea.

Have started recording HR routinely on outdoor rides and was pleasantly surprised to see 176 today on the way home. Felt good too. All this indoor activity had me thinking I had gotten too old to rev it up.

The delivery has been re-,programmed to arrive before January 2nd. On an order placed Dec. 3rd. It's organic whole wheat flour. One would hope it doesn't go bad in their poor storage facilities. Honestly I can't see FedEx surviving much longer. They need to be put out of their misery.

I am getting my custom orthotics today. I was fitted for them before Thanksgiving. I am not upset about the delay. In fact, I consider myself lucky. I am one of the few who have an awesome shovel. So many unfortunate people out there with sub-standard shovels.
In other news, the wounded digit is healing quite nicely. Hard to grip the bars when riding but in another day I should be ok.

Ha, I can't really rev it up anymore. I don't think I hit 180 at any point this year.
