Addiction 2021.3

Notices
Road Cycling “It is by riding a bicycle that you learn the contours of a country best, since you have to sweat up the hills and coast down them. Thus you remember them as they actually are, while in a motor car only a high hill impresses you, and you have no such accurate remembrance of country you have driven through as you gain by riding a bicycle.” -- Ernest Hemingway

The migration has begun. Fueling up for the grueling trip south. Incredibly tough creatures.

It's going to be tough to get much for them, sadly. I've got an old set of Reynolds SDV66's, and I popped them on CL a while back, and nary a nibble. I'll likely just build a new set with the hubs, which are 240's, and call it good.

Yeah, I popped 'em up on CL a while back and forgot about them. I did get a couple inquiries while I was in VA, but haven't responded.

I just checked the Philly CL for wheels but nothing good. Luckily I am in no hurry. Don’t really need a new rear wheel until spring.

I failed to mention that that roof we threw up entailed the harvest and carrying on foot of four 20' bamboo rafters. They were close by. It took a whole week of whole days, to complete. But it's nice to have it done. Lumber and a bicycle or two, for starters. Outside walls eventually.

Yeah, that's what they're currently set up for, but will also do 15mm on the front or QR.

I find myself quite rich in new tires. I find myself wondering how this happened. Might have something to do with two consecutive sub-1000 mile years.

The woodworking forum I recently left has a three posts in a row limit. And a bunch of other hair-brained rules. (Quite) a bit too touchy-feely for the likes of me.
That said, the **** word is allowed, followed by the you word.
