That reminds me, my Colnago has Ernesto's trademark logo on it and it's slightly rotated at the moment. I really need to change that.

This is the Ritchey stem on the old Cannondale, which despite being from the early 90s and close to the bottom of Cannondale's range, has a threadless headset. So, 2x "Ritchey" 180 degrees opposed. I decided on 3:00 and 9:00, since I figured then neither one is upside down. Or both are. One of those.

Let's see about that.
Hey bampilot06, having ridden the roads near where I live in the day time, would you want to ride them at night?

Since Thanksgiving, I have been afraid to step on a scale, knowing for absolute certain that I'd be well above my target weight, given all I've been eating. Today, I threw caution to the wind. 200.2 lbs. Pretty much my target weight for the moment. I have no idea how I didn't gain at least 5 lbs in the last month. But apparently I didn't, so I bought a dozen donuts and ate all of them I made myself a nice lunch of slices of dry salami with an apple and some leftover broccoli. And I did not feel deprived, because I LOVE dry salami and apples and broccoli.

A guy at work just got back from Bahrain, and he brought back chocolate covered dates. I love dates, and I love chocolate, but never once thought to put them together. I could have sat down on the floor with them right next to me, and not stood back up until they were gone. So good. I only had 3.

My plan for this Christmas break was to take advantage of having all kinds of time when the sun was up to ride outside A LOT, get more miles on my C&V bikes, enjoy the crisper air, etc.
Hahaha. Haha. Ha.
Fate is a witty little MF'er, isn't he?

Everything is good, or at least tolerable, when coated in chocolate.

Fast forward several decades. BIL retired from the Navy, and went to work for the DoD as a civilian. The people he'd had to salute now called him sir. His job takes him to Bahrain, and my sister goes with him. This time, it's MUCH better! Turns out the problem was mostly being enlisted, vs. civilian employee. Better pay, better treatment.

You could pick out a solid colored one here or a pattern that won't trip the OCD switch.
