Road Cycling “It is by riding a bicycle that you learn the contours of a country best, since you have to sweat up the hills and coast down them. Thus you remember them as they actually are, while in a motor car only a high hill impresses you, and you have no such accurate remembrance of country you have driven through as you gain by riding a bicycle.” -- Ernest Hemingway

I was following him on the road and a smaller guy to his left bounced against him on some bad pavement. The big guy just flicked his elbow out and the other guy went down.

Well, they ripped off all the plastic and taping from the kitchen cabinet refinish project. Wife doesn’t like it very much. ☹️

When the crew left today, the crew leader said he was bringing me a bottle of whiskey when he came back to finish tomorrow. That may be in jeopardy when he realizes he will have to redo part of the work.
