This one doesn't count, obviously.
We learned more about how Bishop Sycamore ended up playing on ESPN, and it’s only getting shadier

A friend back where I grew up posted a list of flooding related road closures there. Just a couple weeks back, while he was showing off his orchards, we were talking about how little rain they'd had for the last month.
I should ask him how this will affect his apple crop, which was looking pretty good then. I know that if there's a lot of rain close to cherry harvest it's bad, because they swell up and split, but apples aren't cherries.

I had enough with innovations specifically from Canyon - hate the press-fit bottom bracket, stupid headset and other crap. I remember being very happy with steel, aluminum and even titanium bikes.

Well I guess I'm going to have to go get this bike that's too big for me. Only $100, so I can't say no any longer.

I think it looks pretty good. My recently retired LBS guy was a regional rep for Nishiki bitd. He had some NOS frames in storage, that's where I got my first touring bike, a Nishiki Seral. I also got 2 Nishiki mountain bike frames from him including a Colorado that I really liked. I was sad when it broke.

For fun I went looking back to see how far I've ridden over the years. Since Jan 2007 I've ridden over 54,200km. There were a couple of years when I didn't bother keeping any records. I guess I'm not a serious cyclist.

The major roads into center city from the west are closed due to flooding, and the Schuylkill River is still rising.

Went another round of lawn seeding/repair. 4th attempt. I decided to try some fertalizer with it this time. Then I got a real wild hair and decided to do a round of weed and feed on the rest of the lawn. Way to many weeds. Read multiple bags of product. And some how ended up with 2 bags of straight fertilizer. My dandalion patch is going to be incredible next spring. I should just set the lawn on fire. Put it out of its misery
