I couldn't get FF to do everything when I switched to Edge. Edge has been fine until this. Might be getting close to new computer time.

I've been nursing my old laptop along and instead of updating the Windows 7 to 10 I've just been waiting and it just keeps working.
I have the same service for internet and cable tv so I can watch tv on the laptop, until yesterday. Got an error message and spent 20+ minutes on the phone with tech support to no avail.
Today I switched to Firefox and it worked. Back to Microsoft Edge and it doesn't work. WTF? I've been using Edge because it was the last one to support Win 7.

Simple text or note to the effect of, "Was thinking about you the other day and miss our rides. If you ever decide to part with your De Rosa, I'd be interested in giving it a loving home, but if not there’s a wonderful buddy of mine on the east coast with a less complicated ride history willing to offer cash money." might get you in the door.

When I was back at The Home Office, I was having lunch with my boss. He drove. I get into this jeep, and there's a bejewelled air freshener thingie, and he says, "Oh, yeah. This is my daughter's car. Her boyfriend gave her that", and my head spun, because the last I knew his daughter was 9 years old. Then of course I remembered I've been working for this company for over 15 years. Kids who were in utero when I first started are going to be driving age soon.

You boys have been busy today. Kudos! I did my almost metric today, with slightly different routes than originally planned. 43km out and 45 back. Feeling it in the knees, somewhat more than the rest of the body.

I have nothing against those of smaller stature because we're not in competition for old bikes.

Forgot to mention that I used my trusty merino wool sweater as a base layer both ways, on today’s ride. And street shorts over the spandex outbound only. 66 starting out and 75 on the return, with heavy overcast. I never did really warm up, and never worked up a sweat. But it was 100% fun. Google maps, in all their wisdom, sent me overland, with the bicycle selection. The bulk of the outbound portion was off pavement, and half of that was in bad shape. I am flummoxed at their route selection. On the return, I was on pavement the whole way, because I knew the way. I gave their route a try because it was billed as being two hours in duration. It took me three and a half.

Eventually I can find something that fits, not like a friend who has size 9 DDDD, or something like that. All his shoes are custom.

I think the continuous HR monitoring is useful, along with related metrics like RHR and HRV. Helps to understand (and ultimately manage) fatigue and related training/workout decisions. These are highly useful tools for many athletes, especially amatuers that have a job and family to juggle in addition to the bike (or whatever their sport is).
For a recreational rider or weekend warrior - probably not worth it. Not that there is anything wrong w that.

Every little thing I have done in healthcare they now bombard me with feedback forms afterwards. Sounds like your sheriff could use one.
