Happy Easter. I have found a weird but effective remedy for shin splints. Sit in a chair and, with your toes, trace out the alphabet twice each foot. Yesterday I felt fantastic when I woke up. No shin pain at all. I did my zwift workout and decided to get in a run. And promptly pulled my left groin. I struggled through the run anyway, that sucked. Ffs.... no shin pain though.

Active Recovery. I’ll only pull as hard as you tell me too. I really might bring both bikes. I don’t know if there are any good gravel trails in Dallas, specifically where I will be. I can make my way over to that trail by that neighborhood with the bridge to know where. We can meet up, or if you know of a better bike path.
I’ll come up with some places, but they will mostly be on streets.
I’ve figured out a way to keep up with you.

We have a row of very old concrete fence posts in the back of our property. Mrs datlas wants to have a fence, so rather than pay someone a couple thousand bucks for something fancy, I am getting some 10 foot pressure treated 2x4’s to make the fence. I just started, but looks ok for a low budget job.

Question for the electrically competent.
On the outdoor grill island, there was a GFCI outlet on one end. I want to move it to inside the island, about 4 feet from where it is currently located. Turned off the breaker, cut the wire to shorten it, installed the GFIC outlet in the new spot, and turned the breaker back on. No power anywhere on the circuit.
Thinking bad breaker since the whole circuit is dead in which case it’s time to call an electrician. Any ideas before I do that ?

I hate road riding in traffic in the rain. A little rain is ok off road and it's ok if the mtb gets dirty. It did start raining after I got home but not very much. Hoping it's dry for the Tuesday road ride.

As long as all the same wires went into the same terminals, which is what a camera on your phone is for, then I'd look at the GFI. Make sure the buttons are properly pressed, and more importantly, make sure there isn't another one on the same circuit that may have tripped.
You edited too quickly. I now bet on another gfi in the same circuit.

I now bet on another gfi in the same circuit.This picture is the BBQ island. The original outlet is on the right side by the white stool and trash can.
The new grill requires an electrical outlet, so I need to move it from the right side to the new box shown. The original GFCI is being replaced with a conventional outlet that will be protected by the relocated GFCI (wired from the load side of the GFCI). The Nomex coming out of the wall was tapped into the bedroom circuit when the island was built. I tested the Nomex coming out of the house, and no power.

Here, too, but that's ok because it doesn't get really cold in the low altitude where we usually ride.
We were talking about this last Tuesday and my friend mentioned how much he is loving the weather. A lot of days the high has been in the 50s which fine with us. Sometimes even the 40s.
