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.

While in Lancaster, 2 of the 3 Open Hice we visited were hosted by the same realtor, who was a nice young guy who was friendly and informative about the market, cost of renovations, etc. I looked him up, thinking maybe it would be good to have a local buyer's agent lined up. In his bio, under his pastimes - "Cycling". I don't know if he's a Lycra-Wearing Tour de France Wannabe, like me, but it gave me a good feeling.

I think I'm good to go to at least ride indoors tomorrow. RHR is back into the 40s.
Of course, now Mrs. GJ seems to have come down with it, poor dear.

Didn't GT do thermoplastic frames for a couple years?
Ha, it's right there in the article. I never read links before posting though.
Apparently they did thermoplastic BMX frames (front triangles) too.
OMG check out the 20" deep dish HEDs!!!!!

Had a nice ride in the lowlands today. Every time I hit the Verde Valley I think I'm gonna have a Maynard sighting but it never happens. He must be too busy stomping on grapes or whatnot.

Man I am computer ignorant. Daughter has leap frog thing and we bought her some add ons to help her with reading. We didn’t realize that in order for it to work we would have to plug it into a computer to download stuff. I havnt turned on my laptop in prolly 3 years. So, I turned it on logged on and three hours later it was still sitting on the main screen. Nothing I clicked on would do anything. It wasn’t frozen just sat there. I looked up best buy and they had a bunch of notebooks for sale so I went and bought one. Brought it home worked fantastic but it was a chrome book and her thingy requires windows so I had to take that back and get another one. The new one is some HP thing, it cost more but man it just seems like a POS compared to the other one.

These days it shouldn't take 6-8 weeks to process a very simple form.
What's worse, my wait would already have concluded if they had included a necessarily caveat in their instructions back in August.

Also, forgot he has a winery out there. What a trip, maybe I'll visit someday. Seems hot out there for wine grapes, unless it's in the mountains or something

One of the fancy TPU tubes I bought a couple months ago is now flat (the rear). Hopefully it's not one of the stem failures, ill be mad. If it was circumstantial (like staple in the tire), I'll buy another one I think.
I've made some upgrades to my daily driver (2022 TCR Pro) that have lightened it up yet. Combined w slightly lower body weight , I feel quite spry on the bike these days, which feels good.
