I spent the last 4 days, 12 hours plus each, checking on the elderly customers in areas where the electricity was out. Ice storms knocked out 100s of thousands of customers here. Today I have returned to my normal work duties.
An Ironic twist; Yesterday while I was out checking on the well being of our elderly customers. A recorded thank you from our CEO was texted to all employees who threw in to help out and get the job done. Except one. Some days I don't know why I still come here.

And In bike related content. Last Thursday, getting ready to Zwift with the rest of the suspects. My almost new Tickr X, decided it was done. One of the snaps on the strap broke off the rivet. I contacted Amazon. Who informed me I had a 1 year manufacturers warranty. And yesterday received a brand new Tickr X. Complete unit. Even though I told him (wahoo agent) I only needed a strap. It'll get its metal tested tonight.

It’s 25F out. My usual friends insist on doing a short 2 hour gravel ride. I don’t really like short OR gravel. My club has only one ride today, my plan is to ride along their route backwards and find them, and do most of their ride before turning back to ride home.
I think the Zwift option has turned many cyclists into weather wimps.

SF Bay Area content: It looks like there's a time window of not wet this afternoon, starting around 1:30. I plan to be out there.

Okay, experts. The bleed bolts on all 4 of my brake reservoirs are over tightened or frozen and I’m certain I’m going to round off the hex sockets if I honk on them. Heat? Penetrating oil? Mystic incantations?

Counter-counterpoint: An icky weather ride is more enjoyable than an indoor trainer session.

put a little valve lapping compound on the wrench. It'll provide extra friction. And make sure it's a newish/good condition wrench.
