A cycling friend just bought a lovely house near a creek and a pond. He said there are TONS of frogs there, and within a couple days there was a 4 foot snake on their deck.
His family could not accept this and so the house is back on the market and he moved everyone back to the previous house. Sad.

Now I'm listening to pop music from the '20s-'30s. We're playing selections from Gershwin next band concert.

This guy grows vegetables to sell. This is what's underfoot when I'm weed eating. Some of you have expressed surprise that it tires me out so.

3 chains- and one tail lighter later…… it’s safe to say I won’t be buying power meter pedals anytime soon.

Nope, Ritchey was showing .5 wear. Figured I should change that before I go to charlotte since I won’t be bringing a lot of tools with me. I have no idea how many miles are on the chain but I have put 1500 ish or more. Cervelo chain was changed last august, it has over 3,000 miles on it. Chain checker wasn’t showing .5 yet but it was a matter of miles. The madone, was way over due. I am mad that I let it get that far, but I didn’t realize the chain checker doesn’t work on Sram Force chains.
My chain breaker broke after the second chain change, will do the cervelo next week.
Got The Ritchey all decked out with the old school bike computer and magnets. Going to test it out tomorrow as well as cycle meter using my apple watch for head rate data.

I think if we found a non-venomous snake in the yard, we'd all probably go out and ogle it and consider ourselves fortunate.

Our yard backs onto a creek that has water year 'round, and there are lots of frogs. I like to leave the windows open at night, so I can hear them. No snakes that we've seen, but we have had raccoons and skunks, not to mention deer in the yard. That was before we put in the 6' tall deer fence. Since then, we see deer on the outside of the fence, and one time, a very brazen coyote, who eyeballed me and sauntered away nonchalantly.

Granted, I have only had a chain checker tool for a few years. I have never measured a chain that is worn out, according to that tool. Some of my chains are a decade old, if they're a day old. Some of those chains have 10,000 miles on them. Yes Virginia, I was once a serious cyclist. Don't let Big Bicycle (or your anxieties) run your life.
Perhaps they don't make chains like they used to. I have installed one new chain over the last ten years. I think I have made my point.

I wonder how long the Asheville option would take, avoid that brutal Kville traffic.

Is there a genetically-modified form of vegetable that tolerates rocks?

When we moved into our previous house there was a large snake residing in the garage and the basement, depending on time of day and temperature. We had a Russian couple in to paint the place and one day he tried to pick it up, thinking it was a rubber model and planning to play a joke on his wife...

No GMO required. Just no root vegetables. All the leafy ones and legumes will do fine.
