Thanks.
It's complicated. We hope she is doing better but she really is not open to talking about it with us. I totally get that a 21 year old girl does not want to talk to her parents about her private issues, and I was probably the same at that age...but it would be helpful if we had confidence that she is doing ok. I am not so sure she is but at this stage not much I can do. All our attempts to help her are evaded.
Sigh.

Hoping she's alright.

Creakvelo is no more.
Wife said she wanted to go to trek today. I asked why, she said she wanted to look at Jerseys.
When we got there she asked to see the emonda. my buddy brought it over and she said it’s yours.
Shop is swapping all the stuff off of it, should be able to get it Thursday.
I was completely shocked.

Hmmm, maybe I should try bringing my wife down to B&H.

Bad idea. Then she could find out how much the stuff I already have costs.

It's January and the Food Holidays are past, and I have... well, let's just say some pounds to lose. I need to stop The Older Boy buying ice cream at Safeway.
On a related note - those of you who do a lot of structured training: Do you have to barely get through a workout? Or is it enough to just wish you could stop?

Rear hub noise saga continues from here...https://www.bikeforums.net/22753005-post5435.html
This past weekend, I found some time to pull the freebub body off my PowerTap rear hub, and replace the bearings. Freehub body off the hub...easy. Punch out the outer bearing...easy. Punch out the inner bearing...****! The bearing came apart. First the inner ring, and part of the internals. Then the rest of the internals. It took me a lot of pounding, but I finally got the rest of the bearing parts out. Okie dokie! Time to press in the new bearings. Nope. The bearing number/size indicated on the video tutorial I watched, and had ordered, didn't fit. Thankfully, on the 1 bearing that came out easily, I could still read the bearing number/size printed on the outer ring. Even better, the website for my LBS said they had 2 in stock. I placed the order online, and zoomed out to pick them up. At the LBS, I was informed that they only had 1, and the other was being sent from their sister store (about 30+ minute drive). Reading my vivid - but not rude - frustration, LBS guy asked me to hang out for a bit while he checked to see if they had any other options that would work for me. A few minutes later, he presented 2 of the bearings I ordered. Apparently, his inventory system only showed 1, but there were actually 2 in the drawer. Cool! Back in my shop, the bearing install went really easy (with my new bearing-press tool that I will probably never use again). I put everything back together and...SUCCESS!! No more weird noise! I then pulled off the old cassette and chain, and replaced them with new parts that I've been sitting on until I got the hub noise issue solved. Unfortunately, I didn't get a chance to actually go for a ride. Soon...

Well, the fact that Simon is coming into this world tomorrow at 9 am, I’m not sure when I will ever get to ride this bike. Maybe, that’s the catch? She loves to watch me shake with anticipation.
She’s reading this over my shoulder and reminded me that she still wants her upgraded diamond ring.
That might be the catch.
