I don't take prednisone. I just found out I have this condition. I will begin my quest to determine why and seek treatment to reverse it. I'm not sure I can get back to normal but I'll try.

Sorry to hear. I don’t agree with that and I suspect it’s not based on any good medical evidence but rather a pretext to avoid covering the surgery.

those kinds of things can be incredibly frustrating. how big of a pilot hole did you drill for the screws? usually the problem you describe is because the pilot hole is too small and the torque required to cut through/spread the wood gradually increases until it exceeds the strength of the metal the fastener is made from.

Got home tonight, and the electronic lock on the door from the garage to house was not working. Completely dead. No door key on us to get in the other doors.
Ended up taking the door off to get in, and then had to put it back on. Easy, right? Except the door is 8' tall and solid core, weighing much more than I can lift.
Fun times.

Emonda started creaking again this morning. Started while mashing up a hill, the creak continues for a couple mins after each hard effort, and then eventually goes away. Happens in and out of saddle, only when pedaling.
Bottom Bracket was just replaced, only has about 150 miles on it.
Thoughts???

You should put a key under your door mat, nobody would ever look there.
When my wife rented our first house she thought it would be a good idea to put the spare key under a flower pot. That way if she ever locked herself out of the house while I was at work she could still get in.
Brilliant idea, except the flower pot was in the garage.

I have a key ring that has a house key as well as keys to the offices, but I don’t like to carry it. Typically just carry the car fob unless going to work. That may change.

Don't have such trust anymore! I have less faith in leaving a key outside. We usually have a key with a neighbor, but the last one moved.
