    From Catrike Ryder@21:1/5 to All on Sun Apr 13 09:14:31 2025
    The new Microshift 50t front derailleur has finally shipped, in other
    words, finally made it to the USA. It's due here by Tuesday. In the
    mean time, I'm going to make some modifications to my Catrike work
    stand, and some modifications to my ride & parts database software.
    I've also been working on the covers and the text of two books that I
    intend to publish this summer. My new bench grinder arrived last week
    and I have an ample supply of dull drill bits waiting to be sharpened.

    My wife is busy getting the spare bedroom available for a visit with
    her relatives in Ohio and I get called on to lift stuff. No cooking or restaurant visits for a couple of days since the pot roast, vegies and
    potatoes I made yesterday is now in the big crockpot and will soon be
    heated up and turning into stew.

    Planning to ride tomorrow. Now. I'm off to Home Depot to get PVC for
    the work stand.

    I have a strava accout, but I seldom look at it. I do use Garmin
    Connect to record my data. I live in New Port Richey, which is
    Northwest of Tampa along the coast. If he rides bike trails, he'll
    find lots of them around here.

    And more crap. I opened the package I got several weeks ago with
    casters and parts to make my Catrike stand mobile and discovered that
    one of the four PVC pieces is the wrong one. They appear to be an
    honorable company and I hope the e-mail I sent them will rectify the
    problem. In the mean time, I dare not start carving up the work stand.
    I'll need it when the new derailleur gets here.
