It's hideous. And who is this? They always say to depersonalize a home before listing it. How did she remain?!

I worked at Scientific-Atlanta from 1994 until they were divested by Cisco in 2015. Around the launch of the SEGA Channel, they handed out these glow-in-the-dark Frisbees to us. They were probably part of a marketing effort encouraging our customers to launch the channel with our equipment.

Do you remember when someone did a knockoff Tag-Connect footprint that was a paw print over on the former site? I made my own version. Made some samples but never used it. I need to use it.

Probably time to take down the giant inflatable Thanksgiving decorations then. Had to turn off, cover, and tie everything down last night so it wouldn't get destroyed with the high winds up here in Fort Collins.

I just made small donations to Wikimedia and the Python Software Foundation. I encourage you to find worthy organizations you support and, if able, make an end-of-the-year donation too.

FiveTen size 11 vs 45nrth Wolfgar size 45. They fit but damn they're huge! Probably good for deep powder riding but probably too bulky for big climbs or more than 10-15 miles. They have spots for SPD cleats but I usually ride flats in snow and ice.

let the annoyment flow through you. Third try on an awkward rocky stair case. The main line is only about 8" wide. Bit lower gear than normal while I'm recovering from the hand injury.

Best we got in Fort Collins. View looking west from near the top of Horsetooth around noon today. Maybe a dusting. Just enough to slightly lose traction on a mountain bike on the steepest uphills but no more than that.
