I'm pretty sure that I met @Digital_photog there. I remember that due to predicted Ohio River flooding, they had to compress the race weekend into one day. Watching the mechanics power wash the bikes every lap or two was amazing.

We miss you around here. What’s up? Dredged up old post.

When I was an aircraft maintenance instructor in the USAF, we had Air Force Academy aerospace engineering students go though my classes. I'd make them do some of the hard stuff such as one accumulator which had to be serviced with the left hand on one side of the aircraft. I hope that they remembered that lesson. I also impressed on my mechanical engineer daughter that unless it never breaks, you need to make sure that it can be easily fixed. She's working on a project right now that if the mechanics would lubricate a part and keep it clean as the owners manual says, it shouldn't wear out. However no one seems to do that and the part is extremely difficult and and expensive to replace. She's trying to make it more idiot proof (good luck with that) and/or easier to replace. She designs farming equipment.

As we all are eventually.

One way to get me to read a book is to ban it.

PR = Personal Rest?

Back in the '70s and early '80s I had wool jerseys and shorts. Better than cotton.

Your knuckles may be dry from scraping the ground. My feet crack so I apply feet cream daily. This has the addition advantage of keeping my hands lubricated. No problems with greasy hands.

I've worked for a guy who served 7 years in prison for running drugs. In fact I am working for him now. He pays me with $20 bills. The database looks legit though.

1.8 miles on a treadmill.

I'm in Cincinnati right now; however, they seem to be playing in KC.

This.

Happy Birthday!

I have heavier dandruff. Just a few flakes near St. Louis.

Gout. I've had broken bones that didn't hurt as bad. Dehydration can definitely bring it on. Also some otherwise healthy foods like peas and legumes can kick it off.

It's a coincidence. Nothing to see here. Move along. Move along.

Only when I'm not dancing.

10.5 miles on a stationary bike at the Y.

As badly maintained as that bike is, I wouldn't doubt that the clutch is slipping also.

"Trouble" is putting it politely.

Jerry_STL for me. I can probably get 4 moves before Mick checkmates me if I start with white.

It's on Drudge Report and a few other places. They are tying it in with Biden's trip to Pittsburgh today talking about infrastructure. Speaking of bicycling under bridges, it's often scary to look up and see rebar sticking out where chunks of concrete are missing.

10 miles on the stationary bike. 3.1 miles walking at the YMCA.
