Sad.
Venus has been beating me up with her cone of shame, I had to tape the edges to minimize damage. She had surgery on her knee to repair a ruptured tendon. The hardest part is containing all the energy she wants to expend so the knee can heal. No more reckless running around for 8 weeks. She's tethered and she hates it.

Too much for me personally. I've had this bag for about 10 years and it's tough as nails. I've commuted and traveled internationally with it. At one point it became the manly diaper bag. Mine's blue and grey. I commute with a Mountainsmith Rocket now because it's a little more comfortable for less cargo.

We're a real peanut butter household now, though, so when my kids have come across Jif or Skippy, they're like, "wtf is this?"

That's gotta be some stiff peanut butter.

Tahini is the butter of choice in this household. The mechanics are the same.

And now it's time to go swing the machete for an hour or so. Poco a poco.

Stirring a little jar of peanut butter is too much work, yet you'll go miles out on godforsaken dirt/gravel roads for no apparent reason. SMH.

Question: what size GP4K II were you running? The 5K are going to be narrower, like pretty much the equiv of one size smaller in a GP4k; they're being sized so that they're closer to nominal on modern, ~19mm rims. So if you were hoping for 23s, you're prolly in good shape with the 25s, but if you've been running 28s, the 25s would be really undersized.

My favorite is from WinCo, where they have the grinder with a hopper full of nuts, but I don't get out to WinCo these days.

Wait, wait -
