If I were you I'd start worrying more about the planes and less about the departure times.

Its either because they want more or want less.

Sometimes that money is more than returned by an increased sales price.

Do I get the day off if that happens?

Velo Vol 

Sometimes.

In an efficient system the buyer would spend the money getting exactly what he wants, rather than the seller spending money on what he thinks a future buyer might want.

I had a few slot cars. I had a Cox Chapparral which was stolen off my bike rack when I went into an arcade. My dad felt sorry and bought me a Monogram Ferrari.
It was tough to get money for track time so I would hang out at the track and watch others.

When I was about 28 I bought a Maico 490. So much fun to ride but the transmission blew apart and it got to be a pita.

The seller spends money to make the house more attractive to potential buyers. Whether this increases the seller's profit varies, but here people get into bidding wars.

Beach and back today. Got a flat rear tire on the way back. So I set about to change the tube. It's been a while since I've had one on the road. And it's the first one on the Dirty Trek. Which is probably why I had the wrong pump with me. This was a bad Amazon purchase that I got stuck with. It's got a Schrader valve head on it. Ffs! I started walking after changing the tube (was a large chunk of glass) after a couple of minutes I disassembled the pump head from the hose and jammed the hose onto the presta valve. I was able to get about 30 psi in it.rode that home and patched everything up. Scored 4 Blackburn mini pumps for 5 dollars each on Scamazon after that..

I have read that if you snip the top off the valve cover and screw it back on, you can use a schrader pump on a presta valve.

I may need to adjust my meds as this is really triggering my OCD:

My club, which I love and support, typically has somewhat organized evening rides at 5PM starting when the clocks change (ie this week). They are typically on Tu/W/Th evenings. I actually do NOT participate in these rides based on my schedule, but I think they are a great option for those who can make them. The one rider who usually leads/posts these rides posted them last week on the website calendar. Two days later, they disappeared from the calendar. The next day they reappeared as all being "Cancelled."

I am suspecting this is an IT issue so I texted him to clarify, it is really confusing for people who view the website. He did not answer. I mentioned it to my three friends who are on the club's board, and none of them seemed to give a hoot.

Of course, I will let it go....but for some reason (OCD? Club Loyalty?) I feel the need to want to fix this (or clarify it, if the leader cannot ride he should find a sub so the rides can continue).

Getting into Orlando Sunday was a complete **** show.

I could theoretically get used to this weather though.

I have a 2002 Kawasaki W650 that I believe was patterned after that.

I tried that once just to see if I could get it to work, I couldn't. Years ago I carried one of those adapters but not any more.

I also tried stuffing the tire with grass and leaves once on the mountain bike. Ended up riding a few miles on a rear flat. All downhill, luckily. That was the day the only person I saw was a lady with a llama. I asked her if she had a spare tube, she did not.

Bike magazine had a column about the leaves in the tire thing. It was titled something like "If a thousand people tell a lie, is it still a lie?"

I have also heard about stuffing leaves/grass into the tire. Honestly, I suspect it probably only helps a teeny tiny amount. I would be making the call of shame if it came to that.

Where I was that day there was no cell service. Besides, I don't have a cell phone.

I just used a gift card that someone gave me ~10 years ago. #BetterLateThanNever

Sadly it lost purchasing power. On the flip side, the fitness tracking was much more expensive.

I still carry the adapter, but only on my town bike, screwed onto one of the valves. Are you telling us that the leaf stuffing trick might be a lie? Seems it would be worth a try in a desperate situation. Maybe save a rim.

I’m starting to get the hang of this Pilates thing, and am genuinely feeling better as a result. I have had this neurological (I read it on the internet) condition where it feels like I am wearing socks when I am in fact barefoot, for at least a year. Gone in the first couple days. Wild.

The bastids!

You might want to get one of those newfangled things. They come in handy sometimes.

So I've heard.

big john

The leaf stuffing thing is a lie.
