Hang in there, pcad.
In two weeks, we find out if my wife has the rare, incurable, fatal brain disease that killed her mom a few months ago. The disease is triggered by something, but no one knows what it is. Once triggered, she goes crazy and dies while we watch. Her mom went from fine to dead in four weeks.
If she has the gene mutation, she'll have the rest of her life to contemplate her demise.

...if it's flip flop, flop it to fixed and ride brakeless. Should be fine unless you're one of those "everything should work as designed" guys.

Just being philosophical but... our laws, perhaps our society, seem based upon the concept that one must be insane to seek an end of life, and the insane must be protected. No sane person would ask another to end their life, so the request must be invalid, and the killer is a murderer. There is no room for a person to have clarity in their own end. To me, it becomes like asking an alcoholic to tell you if you have a drinking problem. They only see their own perspective, and no room for others.

Fortunately for me, when I was sick enough to want to, I was too sick to accomplish it. Also fortunately for me, I recovered.
Most folks i know would just like the option of leaving without complicating the lives of their survivors. As would I.

In more uplifting news, a yellow lab puppy will win the best Super Bowl commercial.

The old drive train was so worn out that the front chainring was past sharktooth and you could literally feel the drive train rumble as you pedal.

I love burgers, but I'm more the "make it at home" kind of guy. I like to add in some hot sauce and blue cheese to the patties, grill it with a slice of cheddar on top, then add bacon, onions, lettuce, pickles, ketchup, mustard, mayo, and bbq sauce and you've got one tasty burger. I'm sure it's no better for you than one slapped between a donut, but I'll pretend it is.

I can't keep up with this thread...but yep, I believe Carvers is known for their butter burgers. That's the only place I've had one, but that was years ago. I try not to eat much fast food these days...maybe In-N-Out on a rare occasion.

So I extricated my rear wheel off the SS, the one with the broken spoke.
It was a bit of a hassle as I have full fenders and the bike has track dropouts. I had to nearly remove the rear fender to get enough clearance.
Note to self: full rear fender not ideal with track style dropouts. Live and learn.

Personally I think fenders are evil, but the sks ones you mount to the seat post work great.

Once you race your first few crits, your mind will click into another gear, and keeping up will be easy.
