I was looking on Facebook Marketplace, and I saw an entry for "Road bike tires with rims". Something caught my eye, which was the QR acorn nut, which looked like the very distinctive Dura Ace EX version, which has 6 fins. The seller says they're both front wheels, but one of them is definitely a rear, for a freewheel. Not sure whether they're clinchers or tubs, but at the price ($50 the pair), I'll take a risk. If they're the latter, well, I'll just learn how to glue tubulars. I'm going to check them out tomorrow.

Hanging out in GA, today. I didn’t wave to DougRNS when I passed near by Atlanta because I was too pissed off at the time about the traffic.

For the record, I own the e-mower pictured in earlier posts. I bought it two years ago.

I think you have goats confused with pigs. Now a billy goat stinks! I'll grant you that. But not the does.

It's a monster for sure. For better or worse, however, there hasn't been enough grass to justify it: mostly weeds, runaway liriope, and cicada killer mounds and hence the string trimmer. This year, we overseeded clover. It's coming up and we'll see if it lasts more than a season.

Some really nice lady leaves me a vice mail message at work every couple of days offering to extend my car's extended warranty, which is about to expire. How thoughtful. Guess I should return her calls.

I was supposed to buy a mower over the weekend. I failed. I have one in the storage facility, I think it even runs. I am curious about the electric ones though.
