A touch foggy this morning, but even with the late start traffic was very light. I guess no one has to work today.

Stop moaning about the price of eggs. At least you can get them. Here the government changed teh animal welfare rules for chickens a couple of years ago (to come into effect this year); and the egg farmers spent lots of money upgrading their systems. Then they said they were going to change them again, still with the same effective date. This would have removed one of the options allowed. And then the supermarkets, who are a pair of 800 pound gorillas, said we are only going accept eggs grown under the new proposed rules. This meant the farmers who'd taken the option that the govt threatened to remove would suddenly have to spend lots more money, really, really fast to stay in business.
The farmers don't of course have the multiple thousands available to change again quickly, nor will they get the necessary permits/consents from councils and government departments quickly. As a result, eggs are virtually unobtainable for the average consumer. The last few times I've been to the supermarket there have no eggs available to buy, regardless of price.
Just as well I don't eat a lot of eggs.

I saw none of the YouTube links over the last three pages. At first I had FOMO but then I got over it.

I wear Swatch watches - have a bunch of them - been wearing them since the 80’s (almost exclusively)
also have a Tag Heuer ... F1 model or something like that ... needs a battery - brought it to a jeweler that is a Tag retailer for battery replacement - but they said it should be returned to the manufacturer for a ‘tuneup’ or service or whatever ... so now it just sits in a drawer

Shimano hubs are probably cup and cone with loose ball bearings. Sometimes tricky to get the preload just right. Is it both wheels? Someone suggested the QR was hitting the axle but this seems unlikely to me.
Switching between two frames, do the rear dropouts have the same axle spacing?

I use a Casio F-91W. Battery lasts about 5 years. Current watch is maybe 8 years old and on 2nd battery which is easy to change.
It's clearly the Saturn of watches. Cheap, plastic, and good enough for me.
