What do you want for Christmas?

Road Cycling “It is by riding a bicycle that you learn the contours of a country best, since you have to sweat up the hills and coast down them. Thus you remember them as they actually are, while in a motor car only a high hill impresses you, and you have no such accurate remembrance of country you have driven through as you gain by riding a bicycle.” -- Ernest Hemingway

the manual says 9-10 hours on a fully charged one but i'm doubting that applies if the volume is past the halfway point. i can get 7.5-8 hours out of
my current one-the boom swimmer-but that is with the volume at or below 50%. if it is "cranked," i get approx 2 hours.

Not sure. I have run mine at full tilt for 3 hours before and then another 2-3 hours banging around the house.

Redwing Boots (unsure on model)
Dewalt 12" Table Saw
Katabatic Gear Palisade
Therm-a-Rest NeoAir X-Lite

That's the big stuff. Cycling: a nice pair of bib tights without padding (Castelli Meno, or ideally the Assos Habu) and a good pair of winter gloves.

Really, I don't expect any of that. That would just set me up to do some even better camping and wood working. I'll take some more scholarships for school, rent, and food

A handlebar-mounted deathray/disintegrator would be GREAT for the MUP etiquette repeat offenders as well as distracted or rude motorists. An integrated bell would be a nice touch.

Powermeter that measures both L and R and works with my 2-bolt SPD shoes, works with my Garmin, doesn't require frequent calibration.
Or some miracle fix that makes me fast enough without trying so I don't feel like I need a powermeter to see why I am riding so slow.

Bike attire that is highly functional, visible, stylish, fits perfectly, packs up small, and keeps me comfortable in all weather conditions.
Great cycling weather and the good health to enjoy it.
Confidence and financial means to transition to either parttime job status or full retirement.

Santa, are you looking at this?
