LaJ. Big John. Just wanted to thank you both for the advice with the car/brakes. I swapped in the new rotors last night. The patient is doing well and resting comfortably ATM. Was like a new car on the way to work this morning. No shaking, no vibrations...just awesome.
But now the weird part. Rock auto sent me the new pads, sbc 1947, they are completely wrong. I called Advance auto parts. They are supplying the same part as rock auto. So is Auto Works. I've never seen this before. So I had to scuff and clean the old pads and use them again. They were at %50 or so. It just never ends..m

First thing this morning I wake up to find Neil diamonds “I am, I said“ stuck in my head. Then I discover I don’t have a copy, so I have Alexa play it for me, and for the first time ever I listen closely to the lyrics and come to realize that the song is parroting a part of my youth. Back then, fresh out of college, I had a choice of accompanying my fiancé out to LA for her residency or staying in NY to pursue my own graduate goals.
Makes me wonder how my life would have been out there, maybe better, maybe worse.
Yeah, probably worse, if I recall she didn’t cook much.

RE: Hotels. We like to stay at the Starr Pass JW Marriot when visiting Tucson for El Tour. The grounds are absolutely stunning - nestled into a saguaro forest in the hills west of town. Tucson is a nice place, but last time we barely ventured into town outside of the ride, and some family that we visited on our way in to town.
Before anyone comments - I know my photo skills suck
Good morning from the Tucson mountains
Wild javelinas walking the grounds in the morning
Out on a walk

prolly need to wait until I get home. She’s not having a great time. Day 4 being gone, 3 more to go.
I need a bike ride or something. Had to wake up at 3 am today won’t get to the hotel til about 6 pm. I doubt i’ll ride today, I will be exhausted and starving. Start at 4 am tomorrow and end up in orlando. Overnight is nice and long, the hotel has no gym. Can’t make this **** up.

Tough break w the travelling gig. Within my work (scientific instrumentation - mass spec), recruiters from the bigger companies have tried to hunt me for Field Engineer or Field Applications (<-- more fun/pay), but I'm not into the travel , Would come with a bump up in pay too. But I like my work, my team, my boss so there is a big QOL draw for me to stay. Plus, my commute is a 10 min ride or 20 min walk.

I would suggest that putting bikes before keeping your wife happy is not a wise choice.
