What is the correct way to align a tire on this wheel?
I tend to prefer tire text to not be upside-down when photographing the bike in a proper stems-down position. That usually means the text on the opposite side of the tire is facing the correct way, and is aligned with text on the wheel. This one is kind of all over the place.

The closest I got to golf was when my father in law took me to a driving range and scolded me for holding the club like a baseball bat. The only time I've held a club (besides miniature gold as a kid). Also, went to Montana for my brother in law's wedding in the Summer. In the evening, soon after the cake was outside, it was totally black, covered in bugs. I'll pass, also.

Toby did that too. With pre-AG girls, and AG early on, if they came for the night or weekend he'd hide out under the bed the whole time. When I moved him in with her he was UNHAPPY and never got used to it, even though she fed him salmon and was generally very nice.

I worked on the bike a little, even did some cleaning. It always amazes me how dirty those things get. Then I did a little housework and took a nap and now feel like I might be ok tomorrow.
Winds are predicted up to 40mph near our usual Tuesday destination so we are going to ride on the other side of the mountain range where it's sheltered.

The other thing I've found with stuff is that most of the hobbies I have found enjoyment in lead to the accumulation of stuff.

And when I played barroom pool, three beers was perfect. Any more or any less and I couldn't play well.

brought the cervelo to the bike shop today. Since the new cranks, cassette and chain it’s shifting ability went to ****.
My mechanic instantly said the hanger was bent. I told him no way, but it ended up showing bent using the measuring tool. I don’t know how that happened, have not crashed that bike in a while and I find it strange it shifted fine before the new stuff.
I had him straighten it to the best of his ability, which was really close and then had him get the shifting back to the way it should.
45 mins later, it still won’t shift on the 7th cog or the number 1 cog. I told him not to worry about it, that was wayyyyyy better than what it had been doing and I’ll just order another hanger. He’s a perfectionist so he kept working it. Took the derailer apart and cleaned and lubed, worked the action, fined tuned it again for the 10th time. Still it would get caught on those 2 cogs.
He takes the wheel off and the hanger moves. He looks at me in surprise, and I tell him it’s always done that. I figured it was a cervelo thing. Apparently it’s not supposed to move. Ooops. He tightened back down, and put the wheel on but the hanger still wanted to move, like rotate rear ward.
Long story short, it’s shifting at almost 100 percent now, not perfect but almost. He recommends I buy a new hanger and assembly. I feel like a moron but it has literally always done that since I bought the bike new.

I've done approximately 350 squats in the past 30 days and the lady on the S-Works couldn't even keep up with me. It's tough to beat a Basso though.

Accurate on both points. I’m in the process of unloading some music gear (I have way more than I ever really needed) to fund bike gear. The buying is easy. The selling is a pain in the @$$.

I started when I was 7, love to play but would rather spend the time on the bike. 10 years ago I was playing 80-100 rounds a year, The last time I played was 2 years ago with a 3 year gap before that. Hit the ball well but couldn’t really score, ended up in the mid 80s on a short-ish 6800 yard course
