In my case, I can sometimes be like my Dad, working all day outside with minimal breaks. Other times like my Mom, curling up for a nice nap.

I like my Wheels Mfg BB wrenches, but their Shimano Preload Tool might be a little over-the-top.

The R2 had had a nasty knocking noise, which at first I worried was the BB needing a replacement with a one-piece unit. I discovered it didn't happen when I pedaled by only pulling up, so I swapped the pedals with the P2. Noise is gone. Guess the crappy Keos finally kicked the bucket after however many years. But hey, no BB replacement.

Guess I'll go ride. It's not raining now.... not supposed to any more today. I could do a century tomorrow. Maybe. I dunno.
I think I bought some defective grass seed. I don't see any sprouts . It's been 5 very wet days. It could also be all washed out to the curb by now to though.

Oh, no - that's not what I was getting at. Rather than saying, "being a morning person is a marker of a gifted athlete," I was thinking more along the lines of "discipline can take you places but genetics is a big factor and it ultimately defines your celling."

Years ago, I read/heard something about how to qualify for the Olympics, that went something like, 'hard training, total dedication, and careful choice of grandparents'.

Oops, I missed Linda Ronstadt's 75th birthday Thursday.
Boy it's difficult to imagine pro baseball players used to have to play on lumpy grass like that, and not too long ago...

This stretch of UP track in UT had a lot of ballast washed out by floodwaters. Choo-choo wasn't fond of the situation:

At least this kind of has some guidelines (though not internally consistent). But how do I know what a five is? Have I ever even had a ten? I could imagine worse, during the times it was bad.

Caterpillar II has had a great big bowel movement and is now going walkabout, looking for a spot to pupate. We'll prolly have a chrysalis on our hands when we get back this evening.

They're out there in witch doctor circles, though I've only gotten them every now and then. How can it be used for research? It's all subjective.
