This would explain why we probably have different ideas about swimming pool use. There's maybe 3 months out of the year when it's NOT warm enough to get in a pool here.

Trimmed, edged with the trimmer, fired up the leaf blower, mowed the front and rear grass... 80 volt Kobalt, for the win. The snow blower rocks, too.

I edged the Northeast lawn, it was too hot out to do the Northwest lawn also. Gotta get up early to use hand tools this time of year.

My ascent of the KOM in Innsbruck on Zwift came to an abrupt end, when this happened:
Looks like the axle broke clean through, possibly a while before I noticed it, and then maybe the pedal let go when the pedal body itself broke. I was, of course, standing on it at the time. Luckily this was on the Canyon, not one of my bikes with a standard geometry, so I didn't get my gonads reinserted forcefully into my abdomen.
I did not escape unscathed, of course.
Definitely scathed.
May be time to get some new pedals.
