It's been a couple years and the new connector is still on the floor in the rear seat area and the fan still works.

There are some nice cabins near French Creek State Park, if you are so inclined. But that might be too close to "civilization."

This popped up on craigslist today. Seems like a pretty sweet bike. Talking my friend into buying it.
Been at the hospital all morning. Hospitals were dreadful before covid, now it’s even worse.

4 Degrees out- I’ll be riding in the garage today.
My little wax experiment went okay- I listened to the instructions and ended up with way too much wax on the outside of the chain, and it skipped a little bit on a couple of climbs. I had a hell of a time getting the quick link to engage.
Oh and, the paint looks amazing in the sunlight

The blower resistor connector melted on my Trailblazer when I was still working. Guy I worked with pulled out the worst terminal and put a used terminal in and hot-glued the whole mess back together. It worked for a couple years but after I retired we were driving on a 100 degree day and the fan just quit. Drove back home and got her car. Later I pulled it down and decided to just order a new connector and splice it in.. In the meantime I put it back together and it started working.
It's been a couple years and the new connector is still on the floor in the rear seat area and the fan still works.

Eve: You're a big boy now.
Thornhill: Yes, tell me. How does a girl like you get to be a girl like you?
Eve: Lucky, I guess.
Thornhill: No, not lucky. Naughty, wicked, up to no good. Ever kill anyone? Because I bet you could tease a man to death without half trying. So stop trying, huh.

In the early 90s I bought a Trek 930 to get around down and do some light trail riding. Even took it on a real 25 mile MTB ride out of Jim Thorpe on a trail rated "Advanced.". That's when I realized that it's ok cycling to hurt, but it's not supposed to hurt you.
I abused that bike for more than 12 years and it rarely complained. When I finally put it in the alley while cleaning out my mom's garage house in preparation for her house sale it had a slightly twisted rim, a dent in the top tube and it's original tires. (The knobs were worn off the rear one.) Someone trash picked it in under two hours. I like to think that someone put it to good use.
Looked like this, except without that dorky saddle. Thing was a tank:

Infusion edition.
First, a woman in the waiting room had a dog. wut
There's now a "tag team" of nurses in the infusion center--two nurses, even though there were only two people getting infused all morning.
They had to do a whole back and forth thing with the front desk because one nurse said I wasn't "checked in."
I heard the nurse who brewed up my concoction audibly say "whoopsie" in the middle of the process.
Not only did they check by blood pressure every ten minutes, which is bad enough, but they also checked my temperature and oxygen every time. Are they really expecting my temperature to swing several degrees in ten minutes?
Finally, some bad news at the weigh in.

He's got too much common sense for that.
I'm pretty sure.
Fairly sure.

I'm embarrassed to say it took me all 6 guesses, which is especially bad since I got 3 letters on the first word.

Railfans probably noted that their initial encounter was on the New York Central's 20th Century Limited, but the train going into the tunnel was Southern Pacific.
