The Lightspeed rebuild is on hold awaiting a couple bits. First is a new seatpost. I built it up as I showed a few days back, and measured it carefully. The seatpost I used, with the saddle all the way forward in the clamp, puts the saddle about 1.5 cm too far back. So I bought a used Thomson zero offset post, for which I now wait impatiently. Once I have that, then I can set up the cockpit, and I'm not going to bother cutting cable housing to fit before that.
Meanwhile, I must say I am surprised just how GRAY the Ti frame is. I had put a 3T Chrome Corsa stem on it, figuring the colors would be close, but no. Not even. See below. Compared to the Ti frame, the steel stem is not only brighter, but has a bluish tinge. I guess I'll stick with all Aluminum, because a Ti stem would be $200-300.

Have you ever had a dog? They LOVE playing in snow.
Well, maybe not Greyhounds, since they have thin fur and no fat. But floofy dogs love that stuff.

But, most real and manly dogs seem to like the snow.

You don't get a dog because they're rational, or because you want to be rational. You get them because they're silly and goofy, and you want to be silly and goofy. So when you let them go play in the snow and they bound around like kids, it frees part of you to be a kid, too.

We met at my friend's house for the ride today and his mother just got a new dog, a Goldendoodle. The thing is quite cute and full of energy. When we got back after the ride the puppy was on the loose and his mom couldn't catch her. Two of my friends got involved but the puppy wouldn't be caught, she was having a blast teasing everyone.
She eventually got tired and ran into the house.

Rango goes out rain or shine - then comes inside and shakes off! - but Dory acts like she'll melt in the wet. She goes over to the door and paws at the jingle bells Mrs. GeneJockey put up for the dogs. When you open the door, Dory sticks her head out through the flap of the dog door, sniffs for a little bit, then abandons the whole enterprise.

Many years ago, we briefly had an English Sheepdog. I don’t care how cold it was or how much snow was on the ground, that thing would go outside and just sit there like a big lump and let the wind blow through his hair. I would have to drag him back in the house.

When we had the Golden and the Eskie, the Eskie used to run figure 8s of the yard, and the Golden used to hang out where the loops cross to try and catch her without putting out too much effort.

Ranger: I'm gonna sit right here in the sun. I might even lay down if sitting is too much work. Maybe someone will give me scratches or snacks.

Not to be confused with the bottle of Jim Beam you use for degreasing?

When we got Zeena, our first Greyhound, she was 3 years old. She still did Zoomies - running circles or figure 8s of the yard at high speed. The Eskie, Kyoko, decided to be the Fun Police, and discouraged that. 4 years later we got Rango, and Zeena decided SHE was now the Fun Police, and tried to discourage Rango's Zoomies, but failed. Rango still does Zoomies, at 12 1/2, but not so many times around the circle. Dory gets all excited but gives him a wide berth, since he's > 6 times her size!

I was wrong, the boat is 52' not 53': SHANGRI LA Yacht Charters (cyabrochure.com)
Agree on the get along part. We are pretty easy to live with (I think) so unless someone is a total ass things should be okay. Fingers are crossed.
4 cabins with private heads should aid in that.
