Road Cycling “It is by riding a bicycle that you learn the contours of a country best, since you have to sweat up the hills and coast down them. Thus you remember them as they actually are, while in a motor car only a high hill impresses you, and you have no such accurate remembrance of country you have driven through as you gain by riding a bicycle.” -- Ernest Hemingway

I'm not brave enough to try 'em so I had a nice consomé with garbanzos, arroz, y res. The place was absolute anarchy right after mass on a Sunday but they had so many on staff, service was super quick.

I had the extreme misfortune to try a calf brain sandwich that my dad ordered at a bar when I was a kid. The absolute worst thing ever.

I know Power2Max had a charging variant. Not sure about all the others. Taking the ubiquitous CR2032 was definitely a selling point for me though.

I get 10 at a time off of Bezos.com and when the last pair go in, order more. Never had them die- my Garmin gives me plenty of warning.

I had no warning. Literally just stopped working. I hope it’s the battery.



It has been asking me to update it every it connects to my garmin the past two months. Which I did hit update, it did the install thing, said update complete. The next time I turn it on, it does the same thing all over again. After installing the update several times I finally just said screw it and ignored it. I will fiddle with it later.

It's a sure sign of spring coming. I went online and canceled my Zwift account for the year. Will come back in November.

I once made a big mistake on something deep fried and yummy looking at Tapas in a bar in Spain. We were a few Tío Pepes in, but NFW.

As a brain guy, I have always wondered about the calf thing. Are immature brains tastier in some way?

Are they Vector 3 or Rally?

Its strange you never got a battery low warning. Hopefully not an issue but I’ve found Garmin to be super responsive. I usually just do the pay up front as a deposit until my return is in on warranty replacement and have my new item in 2-3 days

So it says it can take CR1/3N, LR44 and SR44

I found some 357 which says it’s a replacement for LR44. I can’t find anything on garmin to say I can use 357.
