Since it was windy and warm, we did the take-out tacos at the airport viewing area. Just stupid windy and pretty much perpendicular to the prevailing wind direction, so it made for some unusual take-off and landing patterns. At one point, a plane a took off in to the wind and curled around to the heading for wherever it was going, while another plane was maneuvering with the wind, too. For a while, the two planes took up an uncomfortably small arc in the sky. I get the whole "big sky" thing and forced perspective, but man did it look scary from our angle.

Of course, you knew I meant the end of the self-imposed exile of our very own @Velo Vol.

A small group of club-mates are doing a 5PM 30 mile ride today out of West Chester (where I work and where our club is based), so I put a hold on my last appointment of the day and will join them. It's supposed to be in the low 60's and sunny. How could I say no?

Going to try to get out between meetings, talks, and delivery of a clothes washer, for which I am going to have to dismantle part of our tiny and minutely organized basement. Cold here at the moment.

I see that the forecast for tomorrow, one of my ride days, is free of rain... but is also free of above freezing temps. 
Oh well, I need to get some stuff done, anyway, so this'll encourage me to not spend too much time riding.

This place is the closest I come to any type of "social" media. No FB/Twitter/Snapchat/Instagram/TikTok etc. for this guy.
And I don't even have social media FOMO.

My realtor is coming by for a look see tonight. I am just about done with the fixing up. My Daughter and S.i.l were a huge help.
The ceiling in the garage had an area that was cracked and had a pronounced sag to it. I had originally elected to not fix it. S.i.l and I discussed this very fact on Saturday while moving items out of the garage to storage.
Sunday morning I worked on several small items and did a 30 minute zwift ride. Until the kids showed up. I changed clothes and opened the door to go into the garage to find a 5' x 4' hole in the ceiling in the garage located where the cracked and sagged area was. Also of note was a large amount of styrofoam chunks blowing around mixed in with some chunks of thin black vinyl/ rubber.
Squirrels. Apparently I was making to much progress towards moving out. So the Squirrels attacked.
There is a large gable vent in front of the garage. The roof would just be a normal hip roof were it not for this small gable. It's 10' across and 2' tall, all vent, and sits right on the roof. The squirrels ripped through the screen, fell through the bad area of the ceiling just below it. And proceeded to chew and claw @ the back of the garage door insulation and sill seal at the bottom trying to escape.
I ended up replacing 4' x 7' of wet plaster with 5/8 drywall. I will attempt to throw on another coat of compound tonight. That will be that.
EDIT: I still have to clean carpets. And some wall repairs upstairs but small potatoes.

It dipped down to 24 this AM on my ride. It's either wind or freezing temps. Can't a guy get a break? It felt like I was riding through sludge, I blame the cold.

Well, well, well - it looks like I won't be needing that Bro Pricing on the saddle or much else. As of receipt of an email this morning, I'm working with a lawyer in the UK on being recognized as the heir to the £14.8 million estate of his recently deceased client.. Of course, we'll be splitting this, so I'm not getting the full £14.8 million, but half of that will still leave me with enough for saddles and plenty of other goodies, too... in fact, it'll be NBD for all Addicionites!

We had some good salt-clearing rain in the last week. Then yesterday, Bam. Inch of snow. Freezing temperatures. Salt on the roads.
