Haanjo status: BB changed, 105 crank installed, FD adjusted.
As I was shoving in the 105 crankset, the interference from the FD reminded me that I was going from a 46t to a 50t and that I'd need to raise the FD and re-tune it. That presented some minor challenges as the area was subject to road grime and sealant spray - I couldn't even see the limit screws and I had to look up the manual online, as a refresher on their location, and then excavate them. All hunky dory now, though - it's shifting like a champ and I have my fingers crossed that the 105 <---> Power2Max crankset swaps won't need too much fiddling.
Oh, and the chain was just the right length with the additional 4t, which makes me wonder how I sized it last time.

Ellsworth Joker status:
Dug up a centerlock rotor for a 650b front wheel I got on the penultimate day of Performance Chandler.
Grabbed a cassette lockring and tool and DAMMIT. Endcap is too big to allow room for lockring tool. Now I gotta dig through the big pile of crap to see if there's a BB tool style lockring in there.
I hemmed and hawed for a long time at the clearance sale. Thinking "ewww, centerlock." and "OMG, so cheap, almost free." That's what I get for getting centerlock wheels. That's also what I get for getting cartridge bearing hubs. Dumb.

i had a 90 lb. Doberman when i had a two year old daughter and a newborn. He was great with the kids. He wanted to jump up and kiss everyone. Obviously it scared a few people. I trained him out of that bad habit, but even when he was perfectly behaved, people were scared of him.

Two weeks from now I will be out on the road. I'm like a kid waiting for Christmas, though (slightly) more prepared. I will also be out of this infernal heat for a full month. I will suffer for the first week of June, however. Re-acclimating.
I will return and dive right into a remodel project for friends who bought a house in the next village over. Their closing date is May 30. I pass the house on my daily ride. It will be nice having them around six months out of the year.

Not as bad as centerlock horror stories I've heard from roadie disc brakers. Sometimes the BB tool lockrings will rub on road forks. Nasty.
