I was putting the new chain on the Habanero build and I was surprised to feel how oily the chain was. In the past, the shimano chains I used had a slightly sticky/tacky feel to them fresh from the bag, but not really oily. The new one is clearly different. When did that change?
I was pleased to see, though, that they finally got rid of the stupid break-off pin and now provide a quick link. That's progress, although Shimano says it's a one-time only use.

Sometimes on my rides (e.g., yesterday) I do this short drive behind the Brown Squirrel that goes to the entrance of Dead Horse Lake Golf Course. The driving range is right by the road. This net protects most of the danger zone, but not the first part, off the tees. There's a non-zero chance I could be targeted!

I've spent a lot of time on golf courses and driving ranges. The cart that picks up the balls is always a target for those on the range.
I've never seen anyone target a skinny dude on a bike.

I have yet to run across customer support as lame as GCN. I don't believe they actually read the messages. The response is the same no matter the question. Of course there's only one guy there. Adam Warnob. Somebody they picked off the street at random could do a better job.

Job-related. Don't think it will be pleasurable. Mostly Blah blah blah-ing with politicians and eating dinners. Although were are going to meet with someone from the Detroit City Football club to talk about possibly leasing some property to them for parking.
But the hotel looks decent:
Extended-Stay Hotels in Downtown Detroit | Element Detroit at the Metropolitan (marriott.com)
Oooooh! Just realized we are having dinner here the first night:
Joe Muer Seafood - Detroit Restaurant - Detroit, MI | OpenTable
I almost went there last time I was in Detroit, but there was an Eagles game on and it didn't look like the place to watch.

Now you can get a Specialize Ethos that weighs less than 14 lbs and can carry somebody who weighs 275 lbs!
