To the extreme left? Wouldn't dead center be more user friendly? I have the Road Cycling forum dead center on my bar, with the Mod forum just to the left and my PhotoBicket site just to the right.

There must be a yoga or body pump or whatever they call it class at 5, because by 6 I find myself wandering around the store without seeming to find a single food item that I'm looking for.

You missed the brief arrival and flameout of @tomson, like a shooting star you only catch out of the corner of your eye.
Also, my dog just punched a hole through one of the windowpanes on our kitchen door. She saw me going out in the yard without her and couldn't handle it, I guess.
Anyone have any experience replacing individual panes in a door like this? It looks identical to this one-
She kicked out the pane closest to the doorknob. Her paws were cut up a little but she seemed more confused about the whole thing than anything else.
I'm assuming this is a DIY repair, and I know Lowes will cut glass to measure for you, but are there standard thicknesses for these older doors? Where should I measure from to be sure I get it exactly right?

Are the panes puttied in with glazing or held in with molding? You'll have to remove all molding or putty from one side to do this job.
To make things easier on yourself incase the opening isn't exactly square, cut the pane a little shy of the opening height and width, maybe 1/8" less on each dimension.

@UnfilteredDregs, I was not implying that you need a power meter. I was just responding to your phrasing that you did not have a power meter "yet". If you were to get one, it will be interesting to learn your take on power vs HR targets.
Power targets are more precise as far as what exactly they are measuring. But even power numbers as far as targets go are squidgy. Your power output depends on a lot of factors too. I had to come out of my aero position for 3 minutes of my second 30-min interval, I needed to engage different muscles and get some of the lactic acid out of my quads. Those three minutes of coming up onto the base bar and my power goes up 5 watts and my HR drops 5 bpm. Just way easier to output power in that position (for me).
Really power is not power, either. Well, it is, as far as what you measure. But as far as what you can sustain- that depends on a whole lot of factors too.

Before I go out for my ride, I wanted to mention that I am going in for an endoscopic exam with ballon dilation of the esophagus tomorrow. My latest hiatal hernia-acid reflux-GERD symptom is incomplete emptying of the esophagus between swallows of food. Basically feels like a blockage but seems to be just malfunction of the "wave" action of the esophagus to push food out. Or to put it another way, my esophagus isn't waving even though as a good cyclist I tried to train it right. Wish me luck.
PROPAFOL! Woo-hoo!

, we're good. I'm interested as well. Prices are coming down...and I really like that meter on kickstarter, the one that goes between each pedal and arm on the crank. Neat little unit... Power targets are more precise as far as what exactly they are measuring. But even power numbers as far as targets go are squidgy. Your power output depends on a lot of factors too. I had to come out of my aero position for 3 minutes of my second 30-min interval, I needed to engage different muscles and get some of the lactic acid out of my quads.

It's all about trend over time in the long run. As long as you keep moving in the right direction, and the measures quantify this, you're doing good...
Information is fun stuff.
