Hot morning, after a hot night. Coffee doesn't work as well in heat as in cold. We've finally arrived at seasonable weather.
Yesterday was wrenching. One more shakedown ride, and the S&S bike will be broken down and packed for my upcoming trip to Virginia and Indiana.

High humidity. Real feel 88*. It feels much hotter at sunrise than it does a few hours later, after the humidity has subsided some.

You gotta wonder how long this idiot's career (life) lasted, smoking a cigarette while pouring gasoline.

Good news on the hub front. Even if CK won't warranty the thing, I learned today that I should be able to simply order a new hub shell, which is least expensive part of the hub.

I'll likely Podium for time spent in worst traffic jam this week.
4 hrs inching along in LAX + 3 crashes, one of which turned 8 lanes of traffic into a parking lot at midnight.
I'm still recovering.

Kudos.
Speaking of traffic, had a pretty close call in the auto today. Third in line to make a left turn at the green arrow--a guy comes barreling through the intersection from the right just in front of me. Slammed on his brakes when he finally figured out the light was red and went into the automotive lot.

Today my immune system went to war against my elbow and hand. At one point amputation was tempting, but that's probably not the best long-term solution. #RA
Don't know if I'll ride later or not. Also, rain.

No. I have a three-day planned for next weekend. My only realistic shot to get in a trip before I head to Vermont. Have to go away for business the weekend of the 19th. The weekend after that is Memorial Day weekend, which means everywhere will be unpleasantly crowded. My train to VT is the following Saturday.
