Apologies...cant get the multiquote to work....I mostly agree re spotted cow. I haven't purchased it in quite a while, I do like that it is unfiltered, but otherwise its fairly bland. Moonman is farily good, it has some hoppyness, but not overdone like most of the IPA craze.

I don't remember ever hearing that.

Checks out.
Incidentally, doing the weedeating along the "road verge" is one of the two biggest pains of mowing the big lawn.

I opened my rear Record hub this afternoon. Figured it's easier without a wheel built around it. The grease appears functional though discolored. The rebuild will be a job for tomorrow. Along with the front.
I ate weed this morning, for an hour, and felt like I'd ridden hard for two or three. 90° and high humidity. A liter of Powerade and a bag of potato chips fixed me right up.
I need to learn to stop before I hit the wall. Maybe next time.

Once a year or so, take a nice flat blade spade and dig out a wedge 1-1.5" wide at the top all along the sidewalks/driveways. It's a lot of work initially but if you're doing weekly line-trimming it's a lot easier when there's a gap. Probably not good in frequent freeze areas, as water is more likely to get under the concrete, freeze, then heave.
Trimming wouldn't be so bad if it was proper grass (blades growing straight up), but there's a lot of weedy stuff that lays on the ground. And to do the roadside, you have to contend with traffic on the Kingston Pike speedway (note lack of shoulder #KnoxvilleRoads ).

I only know of one in my area, and it's on the group's usual Wed night ride route. It also includes light rail tracks, right down the middle, that need to be crossed twice at too-shallow of an angle for my liking. If there's not too much traffic, I'll use as much lane as I can to cross as close to perpendicular as I can, but it still makes me a little nervous. Here's the Goog Street View -
I'm gonna miss the roundabouts that got removed, not sure why most drivers hate them.

Roundabouts are awesome 'til someone unfamiliar gets addled. Fortunately, more and more have been popping up around here, so people are becoming acclimated.
