I have no idea where I am
Since I was basically asleep from Saturday night to Friday with the flu, I was able to rest my tendinitis elbow and can now almost grip the bars on my bike. Who could have thought not metalsmithing around the clock would make it feel better ? Crazy…

958GB to a phone...Is that in a month?

Our house doesn't do a tenth of that in a month.
I noticed that too, and I can not explain where that number comes from. I believe that's my daughters phone, and even a teen girl isn't on the phone that much. According to the app, I've used 22.2 GB today, and I was on the home network all of about 10 minutes this morning while drinking my coffee. Surely they mean MB?

Is that just a regular insulated camelbak bottle or is it some sort of special blue one?

Serious question, as the lids on mine always freeze.
I've got many camelback's bottles. Insulated or not the lid freezes. I just unscrew the top to drink

Or, get a frame bag and stuff it in there. I've never had a bottle freeze up again since doing that. Plus, it can take all the other stuff that would normally be in a pack.

It's ugly as sin, but you know, it's a fatbike to begin with!

Frame bag would be overkill for my use. I usually ride with only a bottle, sometime none for short ride. I carry nothing.

Frame bag on the fatty as I'm also normally carrying different gloves, jacket etc.
