got a recognition award for a project at work. not actual cash anymore, but now points for stuff through some store. at first i was a bit bummed because i like money, but then i realized that the cash was taxed, whereas the points are not, so i net out with more at the end. poked around the rewards store website, espresso maker or an 8 piece wusthof set?
Can confirm.
My primary ski partner just turned 69 in December, and absolutely rips on tele skis. He also rode teh White Rim with us last spring, 6 weeks out from breaking half a dozen ribs and his sternum in a freak skiing accident.

the points have no cash value? and you can't cash them out.
Alright, accounting says up to $500 a year is non taxable.
My work gets around this by calling it a work laptop, tablet or phone. But I never have to bring them back.
ah the pieces fall into place. there *is* a tier of cash rewards, but that starts over $500, so given the tax aspect that now makes much more sense.
espresso maker options for the other nerds here. nothing super high level here, but google seems to indicate they are at least reasonably capable of making a decent shot

Pain has moved down with large amounts of water consumed today. This is a bad sign... but good because it's moving. For now.
I also get awards to the company store. I get a paystub each time. Company covers the estimated tax value. As I refuse to buy anything with the company logo on it they get exchanged for Amazon gift certificates.
Trip to the LBS netted 0 tires, because all they carry now are the tires designed for wide rims, which I of course don't have cause my bike is more than a few years old.
Grrr. As I get back into this whole bicycle thing I'm realizing my shit is like 2 generations behind.

what do you want/need fo' tires? I might have something for you.
ha, by the time you get up to date, your shit will be already fucked.
I spent oodles on my last bike. My shit is now fucked and I'm resigned to it simply being fucked. Fuck it. Still an awesome bikes. I'll go around buying up some other slobs sloppy seconds and riding 99.14% fast because I don't has boost hunbs.
Also can somebody kick customs' ass right now? My box-o-german-parts ist bein ein stuck at the docks.
Does any of those have a compartment for whale blubber or yak butter? Asking for a friend.
What tire sizes are you looking at?
I've spent the past 10 years riding some combination of a DHF, High Roller, or e13 TRS. 2.35" x 27.5". Folding. The e13 was my favorite actually, so I may order a few through Jenson since they are cheap atm.
27.5 x 2.35. Landrys in Norwood had zilch. Looking to get something with a bit more knob than the semi-slick I have out back right now.
That's not how you make coffee
I have no illusion of ever being caught up. The industry is far too annoying and expensive for me to play that game. But, for instance, my current bike has a King wheel set in 12 x 142. Is it too much to ask for an axle conversion to adapt those to Boost 148? Or for my PF92 BB to be relevant for more than 1 season?
It doesn't seem like I'm asking too much as a consumer for "standards" to be relevant for more than 2 years, and to expect some measure of backwards compatibility when they arent.
That is a ... sentence with a high quotable potential.
JRA in Medford should have a wider selection of narrow tires. It is right off I93, make sure to visit on Wednesday.
Let me check my stash of "ridden once" tires, I may have something suitable for you. Are you currently running tubes or tubeless in ze rear?

Perhaps I'll give JRA a shot then. May as well since I'll be north of the city.
what's your rim inner diameter? i run dhf wt on my ex471s, which are fine-just slightly rounder/taller than they would be on 30+ id rims...
I have a still decent 2.3 Butcher GRIP and a NOS dual compound 2.3 Magic Mary, the MM is a bit bigger.
Pretty sure they are Stans Arch or Arch EX rims, which would give them an internal width of either 19 or 21mm, which may as well be a road bike in today's world.
They also have the benefit of being terrible tight when changing tires. #myknucklesarestillbleeding
...and won't dent as easy.
Me and the gal made a delicious skillet chicken pot pie* for dinner tonight.

Wait. Did you actually put the 2nd thing IN the pie? 'Cause that would be quite decadent...
