Road Cycling “It is by riding a bicycle that you learn the contours of a country best, since you have to sweat up the hills and coast down them. Thus you remember them as they actually are, while in a motor car only a high hill impresses you, and you have no such accurate remembrance of country you have driven through as you gain by riding a bicycle.” -- Ernest Hemingway

I get quarterly anti-testosterone injections. After a couple years now, I have virtually no hair on my legs or arms. I usually grow a beard in the Fall but it was so thin last Fall that I'm done with that.

Correct (except for the 10 minutes part). If I recall I created that mess in an emergency during a party when an old amp failed. This is a quick and dirty fix I never got back to do it right.

I just ordered some pin connectors and if they don't work I'll have to come back to the soldering.

I would have uttered a subdued F, I'm sure. There's nothing I could do to keep it in, it's automatic.

datlas do you post notes from your appointments on the website so patients can read them?

My newest hobby is reading the notes from the witch clinic and seeing what they got wrong.

I believe patients get an "after care" note that lists their vitals/medicines/medical diagnoses etc. but not the whole details of the visit. There is a movement towards "open notes" to allow patients full access of all their records, which I understand but sometimes too much details are a problem too.
