the price is typically cyclical and is low in summer. That's why I renew then. I renewed for 1 year but should have locked in at high 40s for three years. in the NW METRO ATLANTA AREA we don't use much gas for heating so it's not critical like in the frozen tundra. Not too long ago we had plenty of clean natural gas.

Looks like the Vols are on the verge of the smack down.

I currently have no grill or table/chairs for my nice new deck. I did spend $3,000 on carpeting today.

I approve. “No good” is sort of an endearment. He’s a weirdo, but he’s a good man, he doesn’t spend money, and he loves her.

There were steep climbs today, the kind that make it hard to catch up to pedestrians. I'm spinning a 28 front with a 46 rear. I passed a runner on a descent and he caught and passed me on the following climb. As in ran away from me.

No. Also picked up four shirts and three ties which pushed the total into crabon Ultegra territory. Cost of doing business for me. Too bad it doesn't qualify as "uniforms."
In other news, and to add some cycling content, there is no low mount in the Trek Blendr system that fits the 1030. So, I found a place that 3d prints them. My order arrived yesterday, and I installed it today. Much more solid than the Trek mounts, but the computer doesn't seem to lock in as tightly. Will be using the amateur tether until I gain some confidence in it.

1 year ago today. I was already having pain but thought my new bike frame fit was off.
