Due to our soils with high plasticity levels, we have to keep the soil around our slab foundations uniformly moist year round. If we don't we will have big problems with foundation stability.
There are often watering restrictions in place during summer months in this area, although the perimeter of your house is exempted.

That is not the correct answer.
Then I would only be down to one bike, which is absurd, and when I got another bike I would only be at 2 bikes.
Creaky BB is a problem with the BB not the bike right? Really sad if my china wheels lived longer than my cervelo frame, just saying.

Yeah, I'm a little miffed over that, too. I used to use it pretty regularly; whenever I saw someone on the road that seemed like-minded, I'd see if they were on FlyBy so that I could see where they were riding. I expanded my routes/riding area quite a bit doing that, but now I'm lucky if I see 10 people in the FlyBy on a given ride.

Need some advice.
The clicking noise that I experienced with the C2 on hills (low cadence high torque) has developed into a constant knocking noise at all times. Reminds me of an engine with a bent piston rod.
I had to get out of the saddle today to charge up a tiny mountain and for the rest of the ride the knocking got worse.
I stopped multiple times to make sure nothing felt loose (crank arm, seat, pedals, rear wheel, bars etc…..)
Everything felt tight with two exceptions. I am running the old pedals and they have more play than my new pedals. Have always been this way though. And my headset developed a tiny amount of play during the ride.
My plan is to re torque everything down, and swap pedals but if that doesn’t solve the noise any recommendations?
Thanks.

It's a bit different than California, but we've learned to plant with draught tolerant plants and grasses.

Had a conversation last night with an old college buddy, who has retired to the very part of PA where I grew up. That kind of thing is exactly why I'm disinclined to retire to that area, even though I sometimes get really homesick for it.

Other than loosing the pinch bolts and then the centerbolt, anything else I should be aware of. I’ve never done this on a road bike before.
BMX involved a lot of hammers and other non conventional methods.
Edit: I do have a crank arm puller, not sure if it is compatible. Came with one of the “bike tool kits” on amazon. So far most of the tools work well enough just to get me into trouble.

I'm fine with the default being "off," but it would have been nice to see some pop-ups or more dialog on the various privacy options that could be used in conjunction with FlyBy. I think that simply throwing the big switch and saying, "yeah, you can turn it back on if you want," left the ranks of participants much lower than the actual number that would be willing to share that info if they knew the why/how of it.

Good grief, use your googles.
2 federal agencies open probes into Arkansas' bridge inspections
2 federal agencies open probes into Arkansas' bridge inspections
Federal authorities have opened two investigations into the performance of the Arkansas Department of Transportation's bridge inspection program since the emergency shutdown of the Interstate 40 bridge over the Mississippi River last month, the state agency's top official said Wednesday.
One is being conducted by the inspector general's office at the U.S. Department of Transportation, said Lori Tudor, director at the Arkansas Transportation Department.
That investigation took place at Tudor's request. She had initially requested that the FBI conduct a criminal investigation, but Tudor said the FBI told her the inspector general's office was more suited to investigate whether an employee's failure to find what turned out to be a significant fracture that affected the integrity of the bridge was criminal.
The leader of the bridge inspection team that didn't detect the fracture during inspections in September 2019 and September 2020 was fired by the Arkansas department.

I've been running our irrigation at subsistence levels - just enough to keep the grass alive, so the lawn was pretty yellow before the rains came.

Walking around the neighborhood, a green healthy lawn would stick out like a sore thumb.
