Partly because it's a myth. Also my mesh base layers seem to bunch up on my neck when wearing a skin suit, which is a very un-pro-like look. With normal bibs/jersey, I'll wear a mesh base layer when the temps are only mildly chilly. If it's actually chilly, but I'm still trying to be aero-ish, I then wear a thermal/fleece base layer.

Justice of the Peace. No reception. Everything turned out fine.

Clarinet section hair update:
There were four female third clarinetists on the row in front of me tonight.
One of them has normal hair.
The previously-discussed blue/brown hair was on the far end. Her blue hairs are fading. Not sure how that works.
The seniorist one has been in band for a while. She used to live in NY. She has reddish highlights to her hair. She seems oldish to be doing that kind of thing, but it's not badly done.
The other one did something to her hair during the last week. It's majority dark, but on the right side it is majority red. Not as bad as the blue hair, but still strange.
I think these are the only people in the band with their hair dyed unnatural colours. A cluster right in front of me. Weird.

The hard drive of my first iMac died after 10 years. I didn’t have anything backed up. Fortunately, my GF at the time worked with a tech genius. He took apart the machine, licensed some software, and was able to recover the more than 4,000 photos that were on the drive. Put them on an external drive and I loaded them onto my new iMac. The license fee was only $75.

First day of retirement and I have a small to do list.
Cut grass
Buy a planter to put a cherry tomato plant in
Use existing planter for a beefsteak tomato
Rage-nap at will
I have a consulting agreement to assist the company as needed but I don't see this being used much. I'm not as much of an F up as you might expect. (So far)

I have been, via YouTube. There's a fancy bridge they could have walked across.

Turns out BF can be useful for bike-related content. I had a little back and forth with a member about my upcoming tour. He mentioned that the route I was hoping to take back to Missoula would likely require a tribal permit because it passes through a reservation. He also mentioned that I might encounter grizzlies back there. I think I am going to pass and stick to the road more travelled.

Did my first real ride on the Canyon Aeroad and was shocked how different a bike can be. I have two other carbon bikes, one racing and one endurance and the aeroad just cuts the wind. Didn’t think it could make such a dramatic difference. It also weighs 5 lbs less than the others which makes a difference accelerating. On downhills it just goes crazy fast. I know I am not worthy but it is a real kick to ride.
