Nada amigo, just hanging out in the DR. I head home on Thursday and now for the first time in a couple of years do not have to take a CoVID test before heading home. We have some friends coming up from Houston for the weekend of the 4th and plan to launch the blue bike in your direction on the 5th.

Evening fellers. Hang tough Mick. We all know that the public sucks. Been out in the garage with a cold one and my new Work Sharp knife sharpener. Worked on a garage knife for a bit.... seems to work quite well. The knife is sharper than before. Gonna hit a couple other knives I have and see if I can improve the edges.
Temps are still in the 80's but not as humid. Supposed to be a nice weekend with temps in mid 70's and no rain. More bike rides!!!

Evening Wooders. Mick.... Glad to hear you're a normal person under the circumstances. Hang in there ! Lately the F word gets used in my vocabulary quite often every day. Too much really.
Here's one that will make you swear. Checkin' the bike over after dinner tonight because I'm headed out for a 3 day run tomorrow with some friends, into Wisconsin and back ......probably a 1000 mile run. Back tire flat. I thought it felt kind of funny driving home after work, like a brake was dragging. Put a solid plug in it for now. Either that or I miss out on the trip because I'm not going to delay my buddys. I'll keep an eye on it and probably buy a new tire after the trip. Since this is the Thread of All Knowledge I do expect some commentary on plugged tires.

just think of the stress that b-29 had after dropping fat boy over Japan.
Pilot dove like a fighter pilot to get up air speed just to get far enough away.

better the rear than the front. I give plugged tires more credit than the average guy. Only because I witnessed plugs lasting for years. Often out living the tread in some cases. Then of course. I guess using plugs became the scourge of the earth at some point.
Ride on an pretend it ain’t there. It’s fine.
No sarcasm here!
