Over what interval, and repeated how often? The dose makes the poison.

Don’t know if y’all saw, a pilot sitting in the jump seat tried to bring down an alaskan regional flight last night. This is going to make my commute a nightmare I think. You have to be a qualified, hold a medical, and be employed by an air carrier to sit in the jumpseat. As a commuter I rely on the jumpseat to get to and from work, I wonder if the FAA is going to make the jumpseat obsolete. I can’t get based in DC soon enough.

Got the green light from my wife to ride outside this morning before work. Despite the weather report calling for scattered showers, I headed out, only to get rained on. I guess that's what I get for trash-talking rain rides; I hope you're happy bampilot06 and genejockey 
.
Didn't get soaked though. It was more of an on/off drizzle, in patchy clouds. In moments, it was almost Hawaiian: light drizzle, warm (ish) temps, sun poking through here and there. At times when I was pointed east, the sun would illuminate the showers which provided for a pleasant backdrop.

I am just happy you didn’t melt.

.My buddy and I experienced some of that "wet air" stuff yesterday in the Bay Area, too, on the upper climb of Mt. Hamilton. The bottom 3000 feet were pretty nice, but the last 1000 was inside the clouds, very "wet air", only a few feet of visibility. Observatory was at 50F, with about 50 feet of visibility. Did I wear proper kit for this occasion? I did not, just some arm warmers. Probably the slowest Hamilton descent ever, riding the brakes to keep the rims dry, not wearing my prescription glasses, not knowing where the next hairpin turn was, unable to see the rocks on the pavement, trying not to shiver and start a speed wobble. Whee!
The bottom was dry and warmer, so my buddy and I nabbed a couple "old guy" (65-69) Strava segment KOMs. Why not? We hadn't been blasting up the no-visibility climb, so our legs were fresh. More fun!
The bike needed a full wash, as did I. But nobody got hurt. Crazy weather conditions can be fun.

It was cold, dark and windy this morning. Plus all the roads in my usual route are being torn up so had to stumble around to get the mileage I wanted. Cold wind sucks. It’s like riding into a wall. I am going to try and set up my suffer cave in the garage today. I am trying to convince myself that I will use it if it’s there but I doubt it. On the plus side if I am in the garage and I get sick of zwift I can easily hop on a bike and go outside.

2 carbon wheel sets just popped up on my craigslist for 150 bucks each. Reynolds and Eastons. I am tempted but they are both Tubular. Why would I hate tubular?

Tubular is a PITA. Trust me. More trouble than it is worth 98% of the time.

My previous witch doctor didn't even bother with them. She just assessed my joint status.

Yeah rain, what is that stuff? Wet air or something?

I suspect he won't have trouble finding a job. One will probably be found for him. Making big rocks into small rocks, for example.
