People seem to be OK with the 520, though I have no experience with it. I roll Old School Edge 500. My blue one has been going strong since 2011.

For the record, as a holder of eBay stock, I would appreciate people not calling it FleaBay or ScamBay or any other disrespectful term. You know who you are, @datlas.
I do however appreciate all who participate in our fine business model.
Back to regular programming.

Some people believe that even bad press is good press.

Their software has always seemed suspect.

They’re giving us both the Jets and Giants games at the same time. Unprecedented! No respect, but might be a good thing if late game(s) are good.

My only Garmin experience has been with GPS automobile navigation. Worst consumer software I have ever encountered. Hard to load. Hard to use. Glitchy. Just atrocious.

I just checked. In the ATL we have GB v CAR and J-E-T-S v NO
I am on BF and considering a nap. @RPK79 and @WhyFi are rarely present here on the weekends. Parenting stuff or vibrant social life - you decide.
Cold and rainy here today. A lousy 46A so no riding.
Church Christmas party tonight so I have chili in the crockpot for a quick and easy meal.
Sore in my neck and traps from yesterday's coolish ride. The dog is keeping me warm on the couch.
45 years ago this week Mrs. jones by Billy Paul was #1 according to the Casey Kasem top 40 show on Sirius XM ch7 yesterday. @rjones28 do you have a groovy thing going on with Mrs rjones28?

Good day so far. Winter club ride was without major issues, although I did have a pinch flat courtesy of a surprise pothole. On my way home I stopped for 6 donuts and they had a special, pay an extra $2 and get a full dozen, how could I say no? Then Indian leftovers and an hour with daughter #2 doing driving practice.

However swim meets abound.
Last week I was in Iowa City officiating at Junior Nationals.

Wow! I didn't know it was possible to come home this tired from an mtb ride. No can do on the passage to Komchen. I got my first out-on-the-road flat in 3 years. That extra tube I grabbed as I was going out the door did the trick. I had cleaned the mud dauber nest out of the pump, and everything was going swimmingly until I opened the tube of glue and only air came out. On the ride home I remembered seeing a bike hack video where he tied a knot in the tube in order to get back home. I wonder if I would have thought of it.

Nice of you to show up. You have clearly mastered the skill of using the multi-quote function.
