Road Cycling “It is by riding a bicycle that you learn the contours of a country best, since you have to sweat up the hills and coast down them. Thus you remember them as they actually are, while in a motor car only a high hill impresses you, and you have no such accurate remembrance of country you have driven through as you gain by riding a bicycle.” -- Ernest Hemingway

Chain is soaking in Jet fuel to get the mineral spirits off, then I will let it hang dry.
Did I miss another new bike purchase during my brief absence?

Recovering from my cold, but my HR is still a bit high. Since I am an Old, I will wait till tomorrow and maybe get in some ITG miles while the turkey cooks. OTOH, I walked 5 miles with Mrs. GJ across Lancaster and back while feeling arguably worse than I do now. But it won't kill me to wait a day.

Mrs. GJ is currently in the process that I call "Venn Diagramming to Nowhere", where she each successive preference articulated brings her closer to no overlap at all. "You cain't always git what you woant", as Jagger sings.

Oof. Three months ago I applied to gain access to my uncle's Canada tax records. A few days ago I got an unrelated notice from CRA regarding his estate, so I figured it must have processed.

I couldn't login to the website, though.

So I call tonight and find out I have to file another form, which I considered doing three months ago, but decided not to because it specifically says not to if you have a social insurance number (which I do).

So now I have to send in that form and will probably wait another 6-8 weeks in order to access the account.

SMH.
