Those would be a huge improvement over what's on my bike currently, but if I'm gonna do it...

Buy once, cry once.

pretty soon you’ll be craving some real bike action. Portland area is great for it.

:nice: I ended up getting some Hunts. 200g heavier to save $2100 :scrooge: I tore down the bike yesterday but realized I didn’t have the right BB tool and had to spend the afternoon working on staining my fence :disgust: but should be able to build the bike with new groupset, wheels, and handlebars...

The specs on these things.

Just need that 250W FTP test now. We'll see how close I am on Saturday.

Work can eat it. Another round of promotions, another round of getting passed over. I'm so over this place, need to get TF out. Fuck man :disgust: My work just seems to want to clean house. Firing people on the regular… making quotas impossible to hit. Definitely not a great environment. Ain't that...

There was zero stretching in that warmup I shared.

Michelle wanted to make a cute little valentines thing to announce the pregnancy on socials: https://i.postimg.cc/SX42pFD6/IMG-5063.jpg 12 weeks today, ultrasounds this morning all looked great. Was wild to see the difference between this and the 8 week one where she was just a blob/flicker. :wub: ...

Lisa was in the hospital for 2 days because she was having steady contractions. She’s at 34 weeks so too early. She’s also got a placenta previa meaning the placenta is over the cervix. So it’s an automatic C section. Thankfully the contractions stopped and she’s back home. But man shit got real fo...

Naw, my lifting was sparse before the garage setup. Hadn’t done much in years really. I probs threw too much weight on there and was trying to be a hero as you say. I’m not much for stretching. Never have been. Every time I have done it in the past I get hurt. I think I was just being a dumbass thi...

Integrated stems look so good but kind of seem like a pain the ass given lack of any adjustability. I hope something you manage to try works out! I’m starting to get excited about my planned Ribble updates and subsequent gravel build. Anyone have much research into the current carbon wheels on the ...

The Madone is LAID out. Phew. I hopped on one while cross-shopping the TCR and that had to be the least comfortable bike I've ever been on. It's so long up top I probably would have needed a 52, but then the drop to the bars would have been enormous.

See, I hated the FA20 in the WRX. No fun to rev and very uneven. I also thought the engine in the CTR was boring. It does a job but it doesn't feel like a Honda engine. Keep in mind, I guess, that I'm not coming at this from the perspective of looking for a daily. If I were, I'd just get another MK7...

You didn’t ask me… but I think yes. However, that’s only if you need the practicality. Type R is pretty impressive at/around MSRP, it’s light, fun, fast, reliable, and can do any dad/work/trip whatever stuff you throw at it. It’s basically what the M3 was in the E36 era. I think the 86 is pretty eq...

Glad the van let you do the cheaper option. I got a Milwaukee impact, it’s quite :nice: I wish I’d been rich enough to get it back when I actually worked on cars all the time. I already have some Milwaukee stuff and a couple batteries, so that's probably what I'll do. The Harbor Freight stuff would...

Next up is new shocks. I'll need an impact and a second jack for the job, but there's about a $350 difference between their estimate and the cost for the shocks alone, so in a way I can buy some tools for free.

This is the proper way to

Whelp, the van is fixed. The shop just ended up doing the top half as requested. Cost was $410 versus ~$240 to do it myself, but a) I don't have time, and b) It's nice to know they inspected the bottom half after it was all cleaned up and confirmed there's no additional leak. No new spots on the dri...

There's a used black CTR for sale near me at UNDER MSRP.

Might have to go kick the tires for funsies.

I had a new '22 EX-L at MSRP reserved. Would've been $42k, and with the $37k trade offer on the GR86, I only would have had to pay sales tax on ~$5k of that purchase price. Interesting 20+ local honda dealers here were not willing to :dill: at all back in 22... They are back to reality now but it w...

Was a new Odyssey even available ?! Vans turned into some sort of unobtanium shitshow back then in my recollection and honderp dealers we asking for markup and or stupid accessories and “paint protection” That would have been a 50k van post tax easy if not 55k new I had a new '22 EX-L at MSRP reser...

Brake feel is definitely one of my biggest complaints about this car.

Yep! I’ll still introduce her to my music, the gym, etc. just like I would have a boy in hopes they think it’s cool and want to share it with me. And if those aren’t their things, then I’ll show up for whatever it is that they end up getting to. Will just be fun to watch them discover things they’r...
