Feeling basically back to normal. Just a tiny bit of a headache and bored as hell being in my house.
My spouse is feeling the same, except they seem to have lost some sense of taste
Still no results for either of us.

It pains me deeply to reveal this, but I agree with . . . . . . . gasp . . . . . . . Vol, on the gravel issue. Dirt (gravel) roads just aren't proper, in fact they're crude. What proper, sophisticated roadie wants to get muddy while cycling?
As usual, I blame Big Bicycle.
And you consumer guys.
Sad.

Sad.
So on a recent group ride, one of my co-riders mentioned that he thinks I need to move my saddle back.
I don't necessarily agree, as it's set up for KOPS, more-or-less.
However, he may have a point. I notice that most other cyclists ride with the edge of their butt more-or-less even with the back of their saddle. For whatever reason, I am more comfortable sitting on my saddle and the edge of my backside is 1-2 cm PAST the edge of the saddle.
I don't see my position/setup as a problem since it's comfortable for me, but anyone have any comments?

My experience with those things is that they usually run but they suck to work on. I usually got them for spark plugs which is a pure joy.

I'm an old man, too, but I am creeping back to 200 pounds for some unknown reason.

Just catching up:
My Colnago came with a Prologo short nose saddle and I really like the short front. I've used Spec. Toupes since the 2-oughts but I really love this one, YMMV
As for chocolate, I was allergic as a child with hives, vomiting, etc. After puberty, I no longer get hives but I still sick if I eat dark chocolate. Milk chocolate is all I can handle.
Dallas, I'm betting that your saddle fit is fine for you.
On the home front, I'm stuck at home waiting for a DHL delivery that requires a signature. Hate that.

At least DHL gave me a delivery window. 8 am until whenever we get there.

The contractor that FedEx uses for "Home Delivery" around here is fairly unreliable.

Moderna #3 uploaded. I'm hoping it comes with some of the Zwift power-ups.
