Yes, it does. Makes indexing, and then re-indexing easy. I moved both rings last night, but it will be a few days before I can try it out.

Make cornbread with it - but not the sugary kind. Fry potatoes in it.

for me, it's actually diminishing. Winter is the worst. I just want to eat donuts, pizza, and burgers.

I find plant biology incredibly interesting, plus they're generally cleaner and more docile than animals
Might be moot since I still don't know if I could have made it through organic chemistry, which seemed to be designed as a weed-out class for science majors at my school

There used to be a cafe in the San Gabriel mountains where we would stop for chili on a cold day. It had a small horseshoe bar and was run by a family, some of them lived there. I first went there on a ride in 1989, the building was there close to 100 years and it burned down in 2009 during the Station fire.

Just had what LAJ might call a “bag of nopes” moment watching a video on how to replace the drum bearings on our clothes washer. Gonna be expensive.
I’ve completely failed at that the last 5 days. My regular 1800 calorie days are shot to h***.
So it is

Ha. There a local cyclist that I've bumped in to and chatted with a few times on the road, and I've been following her on Strava for a few years. She puts in a good amount of mileage, but never struck me as being terribly strong (even relative to weight). Seeing her trainer workout this morning, though, I might have to rethink that - she might put a hurtin' on some of y'all . For reference, these are 3 min on, 3 min off and, if I were to guess, I'd say that she's in her mid-50s and ~135-140lbs.

Looks like fun to me and it's very quantitative, so she'll always have a job doing something.
When she was tiny, before she could swim, she would jump into a swimming pool and just sink. I'd pull her up all coughing and blowing nasty chlorine water out of her nose and she'd just jump in again. Then there was snorkeling, swim team, Sea Scouts, Dive Master, sailing instructor, the coursework, the big research ships, sonar surveys, the models, the papers, and the whole academic game. It's been all about being able to live and work on the water and saving the fish and the people who depend on them.
Sorry to go on and on, I just love this girl.
Oh, and she's getting married next month, but we won't be there, which is a great way to save a bundle.

You guys need to start incorporating mass quantities of filler salad into your diets.

That cafe had a family of polydactyl cats. The last one lived to 25. Here is a picture of me holding him about 15 years ago.
There was another cafe in the Santa Monica mountains which had excellent chili made with tri-tip. Man, a bowl of that chili after several hours of climbing made the cruise home nicer. Sadly, that place also burned down during the Woolsey fire in 2018.

She knows her training. Beginning of the training year with these, I would inevitably be backward, and clawing at the cliffs to hang on to 300 watts.

I also like the fact that it wasn't complete rest. She pedaled between, excepting the dead stop gasping for air as she ended some of them. That's excusable.

Second ride on the Circuit. 23.5 miles. I'd raised the saddle about 1.2 cm, and tilted the nose decree more nose down, as well as turning the handlebars down just a little. This made the brake levers reachable from the drops. Even though the saddle was a little higher, I felt less....interference...with my nethers. I also ran into the limitations of late 80s road bike gearing - 42 x 24 as a low gear? Suffice to say that I will definitely not be using this bike as my Mountain Goat. The brakes? Well, they sure aren't disks! But they will eventually stop the bike.
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0...?ie=UTF8&psc=1 , cheap from Amazon. What a difference. I could literally lock the front wheel up if I wanted. Slight bit of noise when going slow.
