Maybe you should try not being serious
Just the spoke? We have a lot of spokes, so it depends.
If I brought a broken spoke to your "quick fix" department, how long would I have to wait? Two hours?
Except for when you were in East Tennessee.

@datlas I don’t know if I mentioned it (I’m old), but I have a new GP or family doc or whatever we call you guys theses days. Anyway, I really like the guy. He’s informative, yet not too detailed, and he gives me choices and a feeling that I’m part of my treatment. He’s relatively young but already impressed me with the depth of his knowledge/experience. I hope he stays around and doesn’t move away like my last doc.

I just installed the new set of tires on the Allez. 10 minutes, from old tires on bike and new tires in boxes to old tires in trash and new tires on bike. I did not rush.

Chill even when one of those animals is trying to eat you.

Just finished a round of synchronized pool floating, and may have set a WR for slowest 11 meter breast stroke. I’m beat.

I got sent down a little pelican... rabbit hole?... on YouTube a little while back. They can be shockingly aggressive when it comes to eating. Lots of clips of them snatching ducklings, swallowing full grown pigeons, penguin chicks, etc.

The repeated attempts, even after it's clear that the capybara just won't fit remind me of Rango playing bitey face with Dory when she was little - he could almost put all of her in his alligator mouth.

My gizmos tell me I have to engulf about 4900 calories to make up for today’s energy expenditures. Not happening and this, I tell myself, is why I don’t ride the big distances.
Perhaps if I ate a capybara…

My last doctor was young, also, and she was OK, but I never really felt like she was giving 100%. My doc prior was my doc for 35 years and I'd have to say he was more the paternalistic type that you described but he seemed very competent and on the ball. We had a very good relationship and I really missed him when he retired. I've seen the new guy twice for check ups and once for an injury and I'm pretty comfortable with him so far.

Take 2 of day 2 mowing. 25 minutes and crapped out. Got the front down to appropriate height except for a small section reasonably far from sight. Will do the back tomorrow weather permitting and hope like hell I have enough battery in reserve to finish the small front patch.
Secret weapon? I've attached the side discharge and abandoned the mulch option. That might put me over the top.
Side note:
Tomorrow marks one year when the following happened and started me down the sciatica trail of pain.

Worst time to realize you've lost track of your can of PB Blaster? When you're wanting to work on a 60 year old boat trailer.

I'm loving the combo of 25mm Vittoria Corsas and Columbus SL in the Schwinn Circuit. Plush and fast. I may reconsider my preference for Contis.
