Prometheus’ punishment for Stephen Miller, but instead of an eagle and his liver, it’s children from his least favorite countries destroying his endlessly regenerating testicles with a claw hammer.
Me too, little buddy. Me too.
Cowboy Tomi with his first vid in a while, doing up a tandem #bike real nice for some of his friends: www.youtube.com/watch
Still sick. It still sucks.
The weather in Richmond is gonna be pretty nice for January 2nd, but I’m staying off the #bike because I’m pretty sure I’ve got a head cold. I’d rather miss one day of good weather than make it worse and miss several days of any weather.
Happy new year, clowns.
Spending New Year’s Eve as befits a man of my age: barely staying awake while browsing Marketplace for old bikes and listening to my wife snore.

And now both sensors! That was so fun and gratifying to fix some electronics. And reckless; it’s pretty dry in my house and I’m wearing a fleecy jacket, so I’m lucky I didn’t fry either of them with static :-P
Just successfully replaced my first Switch joycon stick that had drift issues with a Hall effect sensor stick (now that we have a Switch 2 😝). Gonna work on some more!
Yesterday my kids misheard me saying “Schwinn” as “Shween” and now it’s the only way to say it in our household.
The past few days I’ve been enjoying a super delicious coffee brought by my best friend for Christmas - the Costa Rican Las Lajas from Square One in Lancaster, PA. I finally dialed in my V60 grind and it is phenomenal.
Obligatory stop at Christmas on Wendhurst for their final year.
Really delighted to discover that our existing Switch pro controllers work with the Switch 2.
How could I ever buy a Pillsbury crust again? Homemade crust was so much better and really not that hard the night before.
Currently: brewing more coffee while the pork loin takes a sous vide bath for a few hours.
Crust blind-baked, quiche now in the oven, coffee in my cup, and soon: A Muppet Christmas Carol.
Happy Christmas to those who celebrate!
Happy Thursday to those who don’t! I hope it is a great day whatever it is.
In what is likely my last outdoor ride of the year I hit over 9010 miles (over 14,500 km). Not quite last year’s ridiculous numbers, but still a lot of riding. Can’t complain! #bikes
The cynic in me (about SCOTUS specifically, I’m not a doomer generally) thinks today’s ruling about the National Guard is a small pre-Christmas gift in advance of some larger lump of coal in the near future.
Penultimate outdoor #bike ride of the year, probably
One of the best parts of replacing all my home’s windows is that they can all open now, letting in fresh air and letting out bad smells.
I wish I’d remembered that a few hours ago when I was cleaning the bathroom 🙃
If I still have to go to a swim meet is it really vacation? 😛
I don’t know why it rankles me so, but it seems heavily bro-coded when a YouTuber or podcaster refers to their audience as “[show/channel name] nation”.
Bike to hike to ski to free ride
This film of Henna Palosaari is exactly the sort of adventure that makes me feel like I wasted my younger years not riding my bike, hanging out in nature. What the heck even is this split snowboard-but-sometimes-cross-country-skis thing? Incredible footage, and a real sense of what it is that makes riding so compelling for me - the bike as enabler, fun on its own while also unlocking experiences.
I totally didn’t have an alert on my phone reminding me to “blog about the new pizza place” like it’s 15 years ago or something.
