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

My boilings are mostly in the pressure cooker. One batch done, this morning; one more to go. Black beans first, then garbanzos for hummus.

My wife tells me Max is the most popular dog name, currently. Max(imo) is in the room with me, waiting a few more minutes until breakfast.

My "Usual Suspects" midweek ride is on for today. However, I was "volunteered" to work today as one of my partners is away for a prolonged family medical emergency (her dad had a stroke and is in rehab so she has to watch her mom who has dementia, so it's a legit absence), and they needed someone to cover her morning "walk-in" hours.

So I am stuck at work today. Phooey.

I boil water for my french press, and am pretty sure by the time it's poured the temp is down to about 205-ish but I never measured it.

That sounds right for a French press since they lose some heat. I run my aero press at 185° because that’s what my wife has the kettle set at but I wish it was more like 195°. Too lazy to change it back and forth and it is *her* kettle.

Agree. I actually pour a few ounces of hot water into the press, let it roll up/down the cylinder, and then pout it out....to "preheat" the press. I suspect it does not make a big difference but I have done it as part of the technique.

We have a very old polycarbonate FP on the boat, which makes cruising coffee a special thing. LSS almost always makes and has an arcane set of procedures.

Speaking of which, I boil water for pasta, and for blanching vegetables.

RE-wax it? You mean you waxed your cassette? Why would you do that?

I forgot about the altitude thing, I'm probably doing pourovers at 195 and 175 ish? Anyways the results are still a pleasant brown water, and isn't that what it's all about?

Water seems to boil at about 201* here anyway.

30° and super slick for my commuter ride this morning. Kinda wished I'd worn gloves but kinda glad I won't by carrying around a pair of gloves this afternoon.
