That sucks all around. What does "Dover was a salt bomb" mean, though?
sorry, dinner was a salt bomb. Took the older kid out for dinner just to enjoy, she picked the most generic restaurant in town (I wasn't going to say no). Got the prime rib, which was tough and likely reheated. The au jus was pretty much just a beef bouillon packet that was a little wet.

In hell. Welcome!
Worked. :twitch: Also took apart the Revive again, uber-cleaned it, straightened and polished brass keys. None of the pieces exhibits the weird drag when disassembled and tested separately, but when put together and pressurized - bam it is back. Gave it a little moar air this time, I suspect a 1/2 of it escapes when disconnecting the pump anyway, stupid adapter. :( We shall see how soon it starts sticking again.

Yay! Finally got my offer for what I asked for (of course I should have asked for more, but you know). I start next Monday, so the staycation is over, too. I'm actually excited, I think this could be really good. It's going to be a ton of work to start with, but I could use some work, too. I was getting pretty damn lazy. :rofl:

Last minute decision since I’m still out on disability from elbow surgery in December. Wife needed to go to Japan on business and asked if I wanted to tag a long. So sitting on a train going from Tokyo to Hiroshima thought I post a few pics

Just booked a $100 room in Moab for March 11, if anyone wants to gape around (on bikes, you perverts) like hacks.

Keep an eye on the weather, they keep having snow out there as each storm has come across to CO.

For those of us who survived @Full Trucker 2022 in Moab, never forget.

Postponed backhoe until tomorrow to go on a ride. Made it to the top and dropped in to immediately get a flat. Now I’m just taking my bike on a walk because I don’t have the necessary stuff.

In the cleavage of the Tetons
so, I’m staying with the 11 time Colombian national DH champion at the end of March, and he is showing me around his home trails. I damn well HAVE to get some technical riding practice in, or it won‘t be as awesome of a time as it could be, if you follow!

I also have not one but two new bikes I have never ridden, the wood is strong.

The hardware store was open. I took the Bus and stopped at the Grocery Store too. The library was closed. $40 on my Ace Hardware Rewards cards.

Did you check if it is the seatpost clamp? Some droppers get sticky with a too tight clamp.

I have no idea where I am
Started raining as I was heading up the hill which caused the place to clear out quick. Had some wet rawks and roots all to myself for four hours. Legs are cooked. Nao to deep fry some dinner.

I think you might be able to get advice around here on how to sell them without having ever ridden them

NOBO (North Bound), starting at Amicalola Falls State Park or at Springer Mtn in N GA. Will hike north until the money runs out. Hopefully, though I can at least do the first 500 miles which should take 5-6 weeks and come off trail at Grayson Highlands in VA.
Is doing more just a money issue or you have time constraints?
