I lived on a property where there were 54 trees. The tangerines were great, sweet and juicy. The navel oranges were my second favorite, they were also very sweet.
We had the dark plums, one tree had so many plums we would give them away and everyone loved them.
When I lived in the mountains my ex planted trees including a pear tree. The cold didn't bother it and it started producing small pears I think in it's second year.

Someone could possibly go after a poster and maybe even the site (there is a law that protects U.S. websites by making them not publishers/speakers of information posted by individuals), but one would have to prove the report false. And you would likely have to show damages because I don't think it would be considered libel per se.

There is a communal plate of cookies in our NJ office. Is that not a good thing virus-wise?
I am going to be here again on Thursday and will fill up the tank so I don't have to touch a gas pump handle.

My take is eat 'em now. Next week, communal food may be a lot less tempting. Do you think everyone in Phila will be crossing the river for full serve gas now?

Gas is about $0.45/gallon cheaper in NJ, so possibly. But you do have to pay the $5 to get back to PA.

No charge into NJ, but costs to leave... I believe that.

The water at my townhouse was shut off around 10AM yesterday due to a broken main.
As of noon today it is still not fixed.
Lack of water is so much more inconvenient than lack of electricity, I've found.

Any chain waxers here? I'm wax curious. I was peeked in to a thread in the Greater 41 and someone mentioned that they use the mini-crockpots for their waxing. I recalled that I have two of those mini crockpots and that I've never come up with a use for them otherwise.

Personally, I am too lazy a mechanic, and don't mind a slightly dirty but functional drivetrain, so not for me.

But yes, it is nice that plumbing is a fairly simple system and if you have the time to prepare its not a big deal. Unfortunately at the moment we have half of a washing machine filled with clothes and soap that have been marinating for a day or so.

I'm enjoying how clean my drivetrain is currently with the fresh cassette and chain with factory lube on it, but I know it wont last forever.
FYI, the D-A/Sram setup is quiet as Velo Vol during a Sunday sermon

Since this was a surprise for everyone we didn't have any notice, but the gubbermint was nice enough to give everyone affected a case of bottled water.

I just won't, but let it be known, I saw it....

If you covet a really CLEAN drivetrain, it's worthy of your consideration. The time commitment and hassle are significant, but you could certainly give it a shot. There are as many home-brew options for wax as there are for chain lube BTW.

FWIW, this is kinda like what lead me to tubeless - I didn't like the hassle of changing flats on the side of the road so I traded it for the hassle of mounting tires and checking sealant levels periodically. For me, it's been a great trade-off of faffs.

I am a chain waxer. Well, actually Mr H is.
He uses a full sized crockpot. I believe there is a good reason behind this but I don't know what it is. I can ask details if you are interested.
There is an ultrasonic cleaner, some chemicals including mineral spirits which are not sold in CA so we need to pick up on out-of-state vacations, and the crockpot.
Then > > > > stuff happens > > > > ta da! my chain is waxed
I am fuzzy on the details though
