What kind of bread
I used to love stouffer’s French Bread pizzas as a teen. And I lived a mile from the Bronx, we had amazing pizza...
How long is your commute? Do you ride always? rain, snow, dead of night etc.?
Only 3.5 miles. Not bad. Used to ride every day, pretty much every weather. Ability to shower/change into scrubs there is key. Have gotten lazy this last year...
This was due to the big snow coming our way. My city is not always the best about getting things cleared. Going in was fine, but wasn't sure how getting home via car would be. This? No problem.
Detroit.
What's with the weird boston fetish?

Y though? Factory lube on new chains FTW.
Seriously though, wax is the best lube I ever used in 30 yrs, wet or dry conditions. Also gives large extension in chain life.
It is a bit of a hassle though; You have to get the chain pretty much surgically clean first though: Soak in solvent degreaser then degreaser ultrasonic bath, 2x meths ultrasonic baths and soaks, finally 1x turps u.s.b, let evaporate out somewhere real clean, dip in molten wax per instructions, allow to set. Break links, dry brush, go. #thorough #ActuallyFun
After that you hardly have to touch it and can rinse it off after muddy rides and dust it off on dry ones.

Is it full of new clothes for the emperor ?
Music aside, that mix is awful.
That's the point. I think.
Snare all the things!

I can second this. I never pre-cleaned my chain to that extent and I still got great results. The bonus is that you can touch the chain if needed and not get a handful of dirty lube.
True dat.
Why so many heat zones in such a small space?
It's actually one zone (one thermostat) but 4 circuits. You don't want more than 300ft per circuits. I've got 3 at 240ft and one at 175ft. The last smaller circuit is for mechanical, mud room, half-bath and under stairs. I will be able to reduce flow to this circuit without affecting comfort of the main space.
No heat for second floor?
Nice! Geothermal? You might be able to score some great rebates for energy efficient building practices (if we can get the programs set up in time... not much details yet, but we made this public last week. Lots more to come.)

Regular baseboard for rooms and bathroom. House will be uber tight and highly insulated (R-42 walls and R-75 roof) and we will have a wood stove. If it's anything like here now, upper heating is rarely working. Heat rises from lower level.
