I did watch the first season of Breaking Bad, and liked it too. pretty stressful. Not sure why we haven't picked it back up. I don't watch a ton of TV in the first place (wife does)

that's a good sign! hope you can get some rides in that aren't too windy. I hate the wind, would rather climb if it's gonna be >> 10 MPH and exposed. Santa Ana weather patterns are dying down around here which will be nice (less wind). Not that I'm going to take advantage of it much as I'll still be mostly on the trainer, but still.
Coldest day so far and wind was out of control.
Naturally I wait for the coldest day to get the Simon bike seat installed. He was smiling until the wind blew.
Speaking of the bike seat it’s too low so I have to pedal bow legged. If I put it on the seat post it’s too high and I can barely see forward, I can’t raise it on the seat post tube becuase of a weld to hold the FD cable. It’s always something.

I only watch tv when I am commuting for work. I watched all of breaking bad that way. It was good but eventually I hated all the characters.
Wife and I just watch everybody loves raymond before bed. It’s like watching my life.

My wife and I could use something else to watch a couple times per week. We just finished "Beef" from Netflix - also stressful as hell. But good! I recommend it. For feel good stuff, we have been slowly working our way through classic The Simpsons. Currently in Season 7 - golden era for sure. So much good stuff.
And now I return to the lab. If anyone sees a timestamp from me during the next 3 or so hours, feel free to tell me to get back to work

Shes more of a home improvement, king of queens type of gal.
We might only be 35 but we are old people.

As a side project, I am thinking of upgrading the Roubaix from 10s Ultegra 6700 to 11s Di2. Frame is compatible with internal Di2, I can keep the 10s cranks, and a cycling friend has Ultegra shifters/rd/FD/battery/wires and is willing to set me up.
The fit of this bike is not quite as good as the Habanero but good enough.

Oh yes. I watched almost two episodes (it was a continued one). Quite entertaining. Love how they make their dopey plots so dramatic.

The beatings will continue until the morale improves.

If you go looking for a good guy or a likeable character in Breaking Bad, you'll come up empty.

our two kids at a piano recital at Duquesne University (around 2012 ?)
can’t recall what they played - but possibly a Beatles tune for the oldest (Let it Be ?) … maybe theme or something from Peanuts / Charles Shultz for the youngest (lol)
good times … both are in their 20’s now
