I was at a Stuckey's a couple weeks ago on our way back from Arizona. I've been a couple others while traveling before, too.
What I've seen is mainly Stuckey's products in service centers like a Mister Donut or a McDonalds in a travel center,
Regardless, Stephanie Stuckey is kind of fun to follow her travels on Twitter. She even made a stop in Peoria some months ago to photograph oddities like she does in her travels.

I wonder how many times a day someone tries to look up her skirt?

Generally speaking the hammer drill doesn’t work at all under load. That drill is the reason I bought it. I was using the regular drill with a hole saw yesterday when it failed. But yes, variable speed works. And once it fails,(usually) there is no starting it back up without pulling and replacing the battery. I haven’t tried just r and r ing the 20 volt part, but rather pull the whole unit, as it seems that is where the problem lies. I only have the two twenty volt batteries and only the two drills.
Both work fine with the old NiCd, but those are pretty much worn out.

The skirt and blouse are removable to expose a bikini which she wears in the summer. Her nickname in Peoria is Vanna Whitewall as she is at a Uniroyal tire dealer.

I hate erg mode. That's why I use it. I don't have to think, beyond "Just keep spinning."

My wife has never ridden on very big hills. Today she got a taste of short, choppy hills (as opposed to long climbs) with 1k of gain in 24 miles. One hill after another with not much rest between. And 20 mph wind gusting to almost 30. And cold in the 40s. She got an ass whooping. 😂 Cursed me the entire last 10 miles.

She is learning that hills make her strong. You are learning that wind makes her mean.

I hardened up, even walked an extra 3km as the bakery has no seating since they're prepping for floor refinishing, so decided to check out Le Petít Marché, but it was too petit, no seating in there. And it's a dry cold indeed, my entire face is chapped

> 3 hrs on the trainer this a.m. because it was cold and the group were riding too late and probably too hard. Had to keep dialing back over the last hr to keep HR steady. Just horrible. Murdered my legs in the gym on Monday and they’re still achy styrofoam.

Gonna start my routine 1 hour on the trainer in a bit, hard day today. Gonna free ride in Watopia and try to crush a couple segments at steady power instead of racing. 3+ hour rides are rare for me these days since Lilly was born in late September. There have been four rides > 90 minutes in that time. I might get one in outside next Tuesday though (fingers crossed)!.

Free ride segment day, 1 hour total, 30 min "in zone"
Segment 1: Titans' Rev, 5th / 248 with a 336w ~5.2 w/kg effort for 4:20. Not my day. Lots of fast times around ~4:20, I wonder if there was a group ride or race coming through. Either way. I was not about to touch Mr. Lauwers today.
Segment 2: FF Reverse, 1st on 311w ~4.8 w/kg effort, I think it was around 9:31. Forgot to take the screenshot.
Then I rode with the A bot for another 16 min to make it a half hour of hard pedaling. Had juice left so I "attacked" the group and tried to stay away 15-20s up for the remainder of my time.

Up to 3” of rain tomorrow and wind gusts up to 55 mph. The news is cautioning people to bring in their inflatable Christmas law decorations. Supposed to be raining by 10 am and get worse during the game.
Even datlas wont ride.

I wonder if the adapter have some form of voltage modifier in it that has failed. If It was here in front of me,, I would try to connect the battery directly with some jumper leads and leave the adapter out of the circuit, as a test. Safely mind you. Just to see if the drill and battery play together.
