Nice, Ken! Xavier loves the SRAM NX1 (11 speed) on his bike. A dropper is all he wants as well to make his bike perfect. Which Trek do you have again? I just remember the e-bike. Sent from my LG-H932 using Tapatalk

So, I brought all my vinyl home from TN. Now I need a TT. Probably a "starter" table for now. Anyone have experience with this Denon, or the upgrade package? https://www.turntablelab.com/products/denon-dp-300f-fully-automatic-turntable?s=recomatic https://www.turntablelab.com/products/denon-dp-300f-turntable-ortofon-2m-red-upgrade I really want to just buy Jeff's Scoutmaster and be done with it, but this should tide me over until I get drunk enough for a Prime Scout, right?

Nate, Xavier and I are still down, but my car broke down right after our last ride, and I don't have anything that I can ride to. Have a buddy coming to help with car this weekend I think, though. Also, there's a buddy from college who is out here who wants to ride, and he's ok enough to not want to do things I will die on, so that's nice Loving your pix. Sent from my LG-H932 using Tapatalk

Came to TN, bought ten biscuits. Stay safe out there, everyone. Sent from my LG-H932 using Tapatalk

So I wound up getting some KZ ATE IEMs after a friend recommended them as a cheap IEM. This version has a built-in mic. None of the stock tips are great, but if you upgrade to Complys (I went with the T-500). This setup sounds way too good for 30$ (with 3 sets of tips being the bulk of that). With the Complys, it's comfy and blocks a reasonable bit of noise. I think of it as the "KSC-75 of IEMs." Perfect? No. But I found myself reaching for them quite a bit. There are even some little gold colored weights on the cable to help with the fit. It works rather well. That being said...

Lost another friend of mine. Cyclist/audiophile/bastard. You guys probably would have gotten along with him. He is the friend I made during my days with the Tour de Cure. He raised a lot of $$$ for the cause and he was good to Xavier, even donating Xavier's final 20$ in his last year while we were at a rest stop in the middle of a ride. 55 years old. Had a heart attack. Died alone and HR found him a couple days later when he didn't show up for work. He was surrounded by my Project Debut Carbon I sold him when I moved out here. That's 2 friends I've lost in the past 30 days. Fuck. RIP, Michael Woodard. Sent from my LG-H932 using Tapatalk

Father's Day cookout Had a blast, but haven't been this exhausted in forever. New grill utensil set from the kids Sent from my LG-H932 using Tapatalk

Thanks for the condolences everyone. Xavier and I are back on the trails, though. Went out for a father's day ride. Sent from my LG-H932 using Tapatalk

Would be nice if some of those had GPS built in. It's nice to have that function glanceable without having to pull a phone out when being active, but to at least have it recorded would be on my list. Probably a ways away for battery tech to even power GPS long enough to be functional on a ring. Sent from my LG-H932 using Tapatalk

I love my original, and still wear it daily along with a Fitbit Charge 2 on the other hand to keep HR tracking done. This looks to be leaps and bounds ahead of mine in many arenas, and it'd be high on my list. The battery life of "days" as opposed to "charging nightly" is fantastic. I usually just top off while I'm taking a shower every couple of days and that's enough to keep me going without a full charge for a month or two. DC Rainmaker seemed to have liked it last year, but never did the update when he bought his own, so may have found something he liked better. Seems like a lot of watch for 250$ (though I'm sure we can find a deal.) https://www.dcrainmaker.com/2017/10/garmin-vivoactive-3-in-depth-review.html Sent from my LG-H932 using Tapatalk

Good for you.

CJ, this keeps thinking I'm a robot. Hit me up on FB if you want to chat about this.

Installed a Draw-Tite 1.25" receiver hitch and built/installed a Thule T2 Pro XT. Supposedly 20-30 minutes. Maybe on a brand new car that didn't have years of... Tolerance Creep, we'll say. Should have paid the extra 100$. What I thought would be an hour was a full day, but it was cold and rainy, so not exactly what one would really want to ride in anyway. Xavier helped me every step of the way, We earned that next ride! If you look closely, you can see the lock wrapped around the wheel and fork Sent from my LG-H932 using Tapatalk

Had Colin, our buddy Mike, and one of Xavier's friends over for the first grill out of the summer on the "vintage" Weber 3 burner grill that came with the house. Had 3 Waygu burgers, 3 pounds of 73/27 ground beef, a few brats, corn, and of course, some Searzall melted cheese on grilled Franz buns. Pulled the larger buns for a smaller burger early on, but got the sizing right-er later. Also, sampler pack of Strongbow Cider and a 6 pack Angry Orchard to go along with it. Great impromptu gathering! Sent from my LG-H932 using Tapatalk

Does this mean I should get a biscuit?

Sigh. It's how I remember to check things.

Lil'Woody's 1/3rd lb burger with Tillamook pepper jack and Hill's bacon with cheese covered fries. I'll be back, but with 2-3 people. Took over half of it to go. Sent from my LG-H932 using Tapatalk

Well, one option is, you can buy a bike. https://www.marinbikes.com/bikes/pine-mountain-2 Let me know and I can probably get you a deal.
