Okay, Addiction Mechanics - what's wrong with our car and how much are we going to have to pay?
Noticed and irregular ticking/light knocking today, sometimes with a short squeal once every so often (I don't think it's a belt squeal, though) coming from the accessory belt area. Looked/listened under the hood. I don't see any excessive motion from any of the belts and it didn't give me a squeal while recording. The regular ticking is normal, but you should be able to hear that irregular clickity noise under it.

Belt? Tensioner? Bearing going bad in a pulley someplace?

I realize that you're doing that VV thing that we all know and love (wherein you mock someone whose skills and abilities in a given area surpass your own to the extent that you don't even know what you don't know), but don't you think that possessing the logical skillset to comprehend the functionality of a individual components within a more complex system, thus allowing you to troubleshoot said system, would apply to both electrical and mechanical systems?

Masks do kinda make sense for large gatherings. I was at Hannah's concert yesterday and everyone was masked (even the performers when not playing). OTOH I saw a YouTube video of Vegan Cyclist and one snippet was his kid's holiday concert and it looked like no one in the audience that I noticed was wearing a mask. I know it's controversial but it should not be.

I think that I saw an article headline about the challenges of covid in some of the hippy-dippy areas of CA. Bet ya never would have thunk that that'd apply to the VC, would ya?

I am a member of a bike touring group on Facebook. Over the weekend someone posted a link to North Face tent with the word "Assault" in the name. Assault, of course, is a mountaineering term. Can you believe someone took issue with the use of the word? *smh*
Assume he won't be riding the Assault on Mt. Mitchell.

I know what I don't know. I'm not the one here claiming transitive knowledge.

No. Clearly he has to get the bore framinized and the barrel glominated.

Well, to be fair, the ability to install a car stereo and the ability to change a water pump are two different skill sets. I likely still have both sets, but I wouldn't touch the water pump at this stage in my career as a human. As for the stereo, my poor eyesight would likely prevent a positive outcome.

An old friend of mine found one of these in the mouth of a red snapper she bought for dinner. It's commonly called a tongue-eating louse. It attaches itself to the base of a fish's tongue and sucks blood until the tongue shrivels up and falls off. WTH.

If salsa fits the definition of "a thing", then so does gumbo.
Case closed.

There's no need to bother with the organized ride, unless you like that experience. It's rideable on your own.
