The wrench that monkeyed with it should be fired for not taking it apart and cleaning it, rather than just trying to crank it down.
For reference, this is what the hanger looks like when it's clean -

Because of all the closed roads, we loaded up our bikes and headed south to Amado Junction out of the way of all the road closures. Had a good 46 mile ride to Aricava, AZ.

Wonder if the Bills are going to make their game tomorrow?
They should've just played in Buffalo!

Tomorrow’s start temps similar to today but with 15-20MPH winds and “real feel” 18F.
Most of my friends are bailing.

Gotta get your Canadian pilot's license though, which seems odd, I figured pilot license for passenger stuff would be world wide.

I eschewed the club ride and met up with 3 others to ride in a wind protected area. Did some climbs and tried to go around the Rose Bowl but the USC/UCLA game is tonight and it was already zooed out. We happened on our club ride which was also going to the Rose Bowl, so that was unexpected.
I found a nice folding knife in the street and I didn't know what to do with it. It was still in it's sheath/case. Later there was a construction guy working on a mansion so I stopped and gave it to him. He was very appreciative, said he could certainly us it. Then he asked "is this a murder weapon?" I said yes, and it still has DNA on it. He laughed and called me "sir".

A spam report and a phishing report in today's email. This is uncommon, but getting more common by the week.

We are in Green Valley, not Tucson and I’ve been trying to get up to Tucson to ride with an old friend that lives in Saddlebrooke on the north side but my wife has me on a tight leash and a full schedule down here. Doubt I’ll make it up to Tucson this year.
