I just popped over to 'Forum Assistance', and read that the P & R forum is no more. I guess you'll have to take your chances here, datlas

Like datlas said, clean it up, touch it up. You could use a rust inhibitor inside the frame, for extra protection.

You are very right. It's a bluefish. If they get into a feeding frenzy chasing a school of smaller fish up the coastline they can occasionally bite swimmers. Strong, nasty suckers. The small ones are called "snappers." The large ones are "chompers." An old friend hauled one onto a party boat and it bit him on he ankle. Many people don't like the last because it's an oily, "fishy" tasting fish. But that makes them great for grilling.

Man, I got real antsy today. Time seemed to be crawling. They had an especially mind-dumbing show on HGTV. I would have turned it to a baseball game if I could--it was that bad.
No need, the envelope says "By airmail/Par avion."
Does not wanting seeds/nuts in your salad mean you're picky?
I want an Office Park segment. Ride down the road, around the Traveler's building, and back to the circle on the east end. I could be a legend for years.

Rust in a scratch is no big deal, but you might want to do what you can to inspect the inside of the frame, e.g., the BB for more serious problems.

I went to my local Asian food market yesterday and couldn't find the lower-calorie, fancy-ish ramen that I was looking for, so I decided to grab another fancy brand with air-dried noodles. Most ramen is made by essentially frying the noodles and that's a big contributor to the fat/calories, so my assumption was that another air-dried brand would be similarly lower in fat/calories... Yeah, no. I didn't look closely enough at the nutrition info at the store and, upon getting home, I saw that the 340 calories quoted was for half of a packet, not the whole packet. Oops.

I rode a real bike today for the first time in about a year. It was so fun. Just to work, but no limbs fell off and I felt free, alive, and happy.
I hope the Addiction crew is good and everyone is still alive.

I wore two ear buds.
I rode on the MUP.
I rode on the sidewalk (to pass those experiencing homelessness stopped in the bike path)
I rode an aluminum bike although I have a carbon bike.
I rode Shimano instead of Campy.
Speedplay pedals are the best.
I waived (sp).

I had a couple rust spots on Mrs. Peel to deal with. I ordered some stuff from the UK, "Kurust", which stabilizes and converts rust and allows you to paint over it without it continuing to grow under the paint. I found it by watching 'BikeItUK' on YouTube. In my case it was all just surface stuff, but apparently if it gets much deeper than that you need to scrape/sand it down a bit. Then nail polish or Testors Enamel.

Wheel question. I am going to need two rear wheels for the Habanero once it goes to 11. For summertime/dry conditions, my friend who permanently loaned me the Reynolds Assaults (from roughly 2012) believes he has the 11 speed freehub body, so that's covered. For off-season I do have some old and crappy wheels like the ones I am running now, but these are pretty long in the tooth and probably NOT worth trying to track down 11s freehub bodies for.
tl;dr I need a reasonably good but budget-level aluminum rim rear wheel for 11s clincher, does NOT need to be tubeless compatible. I generally think of something like Mavic Aksium but I wonder if there are others to consider. Budget is $150-250. Would consider getting a companion front wheel for matchy-matchy if price is right (say max $500 for F+R).
Suggestions??

I rode a disc bike although I have a rim brake bike.
Disc braking is better than rim braking.
I rode with shorts and a t-shirt but old team socks.
Tubeless is for hipsters.
