While dropping travel on the helm coil tonight, the cat ate one of the shed mice. What organ did he leave behind?
Hope to ride a four mile climb/descent today on the new bike. Supposed to be 70 about an hour and a half from here...
lung....maybe.....it has been about 16 years since i have seen the vanquished of barn cats....
me and my night-owlism are drinking beers and working on some freelance collection catalogue entries for another museum to help provide a bit of extra income. hope to dig and/or ride some when i roll outta bed. another gorgeous spring day appears to be on tap.
it was fucking glorious friday.....perfect sun/cloud ratio....
going to try and spend sunrise sunday morning somewhere on the blueridge parkway...

I recommend driving to morganton, heading over to brown mountain beach rd.; left at the "T" by Betsy's store, and following it until it turns into edgemont road and then up, eventually, to a left on 221 to the parkway @ beacon heights. or you could turn onto roseboro rd. in edgemont and take that up to the parkway . . . we're planning on a wilson creek excursion (which will hopefully include a ride for me) on Sunday.Road Status and Closures - Blue Ridge Parkway (U.S. National Park Service)

go hike max patch mountain....
Shimano brakes. Haven't bleed them in a while, so the fluid is probably black. Need to take every precaution to not engage death mode.
Push all that gunk UP and out the MC, not down and out of the caliper. Full syringe, push slowly.
Coincidently I ordered 1L of fluid yesterday. Last bottle lasted years.
Riding somewhere today. Maybe I'll time the rain right.
What part of NC you live? I’m in AVL. We actually rode up to Graveyard Fields yesterday. Was windy as fuck but not a single human except us. I love to see the forest getting a much needed instagram break.
Why that way?
because I said so, that's why.
I dunno, that's just how I do it. Moar moving parts in the caliper vs MC so I don't want all the gunk pushing through there, plus filling bottom up increases odds you move any air bubbles up and out. It's probably fine either way.
I shall try it out!
The rear lever is also making that dreaded click sound and is a tiny bit slower to rebound. Pretty sure that's what happened the last time one of the levers failed...
Ever run into that?
Up at 0530 . Why you ask? because we are making a crock pot full of beef chili and the wife has to leave to go to the horse barn at 0730. sipping espresso in peace until she gets up in ten minutes. May go ride after that
And, if the black crap is originating up on the handlebar, don't want to push it down through the calipers.
I don't think I've ever had that issue. Which model and how old are these brakes?
WHAT IT SAY THERE ACE! I went for a five mile run this morning and saw two bear cubs just off the rail trail. I did not see mama.
Insomnia. I should go ride.
Seems adequate. Depending on the aircraft you might not have a place to plug it in. I should MR one for myself.
What fuckery is this?
XT m8000. I think the rear is 2-3 years old, it was already replaced once under warranty for failing.
Why not just do a quick lever bleed for the quick pad install?
Morning monkeys. Going to be 70 today with only light winds. Going to ride the road from Belt (MT) to Monarch for some steady state cardio. Starts out with 9 miles of railroad grade climb for a nice warm up followed by 11 more agressive miles. The 20 miles back are all downhill, speeds in excess of 50MP are easily attained but not recommended.
G'morning, heathens.
Patio beers went kinda late last night, feeling real groggy today. Gonna take The Cartel™ to the park to run around and chase the ball for a while, then maybe try and get a ride in before it rains. The rug for our patio is being delivered today, so we'll probably need to test it out later with patio drinks. I suspect I'll be groggy again tomorrow.
