Doc visit yesterday. MRI says L4/5 herniated bulging stuff is pushing on the nerve. I got a PT referral and we have a course of action planned for the next spasm. Essentially it’ll be steroids either by pill or injection, conceivably both if the pills alone don’t work. Not a magical update, but comforting to have a plan of sorts.
I just gave blood at the hospital, while on the clock, as an employee of the hospital that saved my life.
That's kind of neat.

The ole decrapitation move.
Drove back to DK today. Stopped by https://alutech-cycles.com/Home to pick up OE brakes and cassette that they sell for cheap as they were on my way.
What a cool company! Owner is a total bike nerd and handed me the parts himself, showed me around, including the production area where he welds all full suspension frames himself. Sadly, because of the bike industry downturn, he downsized and is back to a 2 person company with his wife and occasional hired help. He took the time to chat about old times and showed me around some of the old frames he had hanging on the walls. Good to know that there is a craftsman option if I ever go up in wheel size. Too bad I could not talk him into a custom, modern geo 26-er. Saw their new Pelmo trail bike in the flesh, that looks sick!
For you German-speaking folks, there was a cool "factory" visit by a Youtuber:

Cuban sandwiches again tonite. I don't care what kind of lame pussy sandwiches your state has, the Cuban is the best. And don't come at me with ham and pork only. I want Cuban pork, ham, capicola, salami and swiss cheese. I have made these for guests and they are like "This is really good." You goddam right it's good. Philly steak is a close second but not when they put cheeze whiz on it. This is the only disagreement I've had with my father in law. He takes me to this place and they have an orange dayglo vat of molten cheese sim. He's like "That's the Whiz." Fuckin Philadelphia, man.
Ahh nothing worse than the smell of of a large amount poop in someone's diaper in the confines of the ambulance. Major cleanup in aisle 6. Two more transports to go
Refer to it as "cheese jizz" and watch him have an aneurysm
You live in the state of Vietnam?
Are you a native Cuban?
10+ years ago there used to be a little hole in the wall place near Union Sq in Manhattan called Num Pang that made steak bánh mì that I think I could have lived on.
Then they moved locations to somewhere nearby slightly bigger, then opened a bunch of shops, then COVID killed them

Got a call from a PhD student who was trying to run an "experiment" that I help build. Based on his description I had to ask if it was plugged in. He said of course it was. I had him run a bunch of diagnostics that pointed to it not being plugged in. He said it was definitely plugged in. I had him go through a bunch of additional troubleshooting steps to see what could be wrong when he said "it suddenly started working for no reason". Which was just code for "Whoops, I didn't have it plugged in".
Been running this light for years. Cheap, bright enough. Battery lasts for a long time. I usually have a charged light in the pack in case the one I'm using dies. I've been able to use the same light for like 2.5 rides between charges.
Theres a group ride tonight on the Greenway - 28 miles of moon light paved pathway. It should be interesting considering theres about 150-200 people living in the bushes scattered along the length of the trail. The whole situation is a mess and unfortunately I'm still stuck in the middle of it for a few more months.
Had one of tye most delicious Cuban sandwiches at a place in Pisgah. I could have eaten two of them.
Also had one of these recently, from an Argentinian shop. Had to take a nap after, but it was worth it.
progress was made today, got 80% of the house pad cut, and prob 50% of the shop pad cut, and tons of fill dirt stock piled in waiting for the roller.
4 biggest trees on the lot have to come down tomorrow, better grind a loop tonight
