They had a new girl holding down the fort at the fish and chips joint today. She went just a little hard on the cod and a fair bit soft on the chips.
One of these days I'm gonna man up and order the battered sausage and chips with gravy and mushy peas on the side.

Mets are struggling in the City by the Bay. Former Pirate/former Diamondback Sterling Marte got one of the few Mets hits tho.

My favourite wrenches are double open ended metric automotive ones
Most of my collection is down in PHX, but I've got these in the bicycle toolbox though:

Big group expected for today’s ride. It’s a good route but slightly more traffic, so for safety’s sake I am going to have to break into two smaller groups from the start. My T is telling me I am strong and more than capable to go with the faster group, but my heart is telling me to enjoy the spring weather and go with the second group.
I shall try to follow my heart.

Spokes and nipples ordered, along with spoke prep and a lightly used Park TM-1. Now all I need is an electric screwdriver.
I figure, even though I'm using all new spokes and nipples, I'll save myself trouble lacing the wheel by taping the new rim to the old wheel and removing the old spokes one by one, then placing the new spoke in the new rim at the same spot from the same direction. I just need to do that 72 times.
Then tighten them, tension and true them, stomp on the wheels, re-tension and re-true, give up and take them to my LBS who said he'd be happy tofix whatever I mess up help out.

Whatever it is it's worth every dime. Viewing for the first time will make you gasp.

No big deal, some things on these forums you just learn to ignore. No one is forcing you to watch, either.

You're not gonna use a regular wrench on these hubs. The locknuts are flared right above the wrench flats.

Actually, my favorite fish n chips uses whiting, not cod. I don't know if it's an east coast thing. Awesomely delicious!
