We're fully screened. And there are fish and frogs in the pond, and frogs roaming the house. I get buzzed once or twice per night, now, at the end of dry season. There are plenty of times when a fan is necessary to keep them at bay.

So I’m doing some research on the sram force flat top chain but def getting mixed signals. Some say the standard chain checker won’t work because the rollers are different diameter but others say that doesn’t matter because the chain checker measures the inside to outside of a roller.

my Insurance xompany and the only hospital system in the county are fighting after the contract expired last October. They are now out of network hence the hoop jumping. I live 6 minutes from one of the now out of network hospitals that has a similar clinic as you describe. I drove nearly an hour in traffic to go to the in-network cardiologist.

Rain. Lots of rain. Nothing to do but read and post on BF. Hurricane related? Quite likely.

PBK sent me an email saying the want me back. If they'd cut the price on GP5Ks back to the low 70s per pair, they'd see more of me.

They are coming back June 10th. My understanding is they must test before coming home, and if positive must wait 5 more days to come home. That’s not rational, as a person may test positive even a week or two after the illness, but rules are not always rational. So worst case, she comes back June 15th. She does have some sniffles but tested negative, I told her to not be surprised if/when she gets a positive test.

We did the standard Tuesday ride yesterday and I felt pretty good afterward. Today I wanted to try a route from the old neighborhood to the area where I now live by going over the hills on dirt. Years ago I could connect through up there but there are now a lot more houses. I did some recon on the road bike a couple weeks back and studied the map for trails.
Today I took the mtb and rode the streets to the bottom of the canyon. I felt like a slug and just couldn't get going. There are 2 grueling climbs to get to the fire road I wanted to explore. I rested in the park where I usually go and said eff-it and rode home the easy way. #old age

I wonder what random thing in the background of that @Velo Vol will ask you about.

I don't have to worry as much since I was vaccinated for smallpox when I was a ute and it should offer some protection.

A while back, when I started looking for places for us to retire, I was looking around the area of PA where I grew up. In response, Mrs. GJ started sending me Zillow listings from the area where SHE grew up. Here's the thing, though - her family is from Corry PA, near Erie, which is the city that "Marketplace" on NPR always uses as THE example of the depressed Rust Belt city where all the manufacturing jobs have gone away and nobody wants to live there anymore.
So, last night I watched a video on YouTube, "The 10 Worst Towns In Pennsylvania". Corry was number 9. I haven't mentioned this to her yet....
