Should we pick a topic or just wing it as usual?

Went with SWMBO to the Tap room for some Blueberry Sour Ale and IPA and won a gift card for free beer next week! Victory at the Trivia challenge!

Here is what the cat thought about it.

Well, I found out that St Louis Chess Club is streaming live from Sinquefield Cup. So I'm watching while having a beer.

Or two.

Well, while having some beer.

Cheers!
Friday night, beer night!

Cheers!

Quetta? Isn't that on the Pakistani side?
It is. It's about 150km to the border and 240km to Kandahar. Pakistan Army Staff College is in Quetta. In the good old days, 1955-56 for us, they used to have a few participants from British Commonwealth countries on the course for new majors and my father was one of them.

No doubt about that She could leave me for dead on the bike too. One of the nicest people I've ever met. I never heard her say anything bad about anybody.

Time to hop in the car a head for the Big Shed.
I think that cat's a bit confused. Red = port = left. Green = starboard = right.

I was going to challenge this, but re-quoting is more than enough
I was going to try to explain what I meant, but I think I'd get into a huge amount of trouble. I'll leave it to Paul Hogan in his 1980ish TV show. That's Melbourne, BTW.

There's some great wisdom in those rules. I've absorbed many of them over the years. #30 - I was converted to CO2 canisters many years ago, but there's a limit to the number you can carry. If I ever get fit enough again to go for a long ride, I'll need to attach a frame pump. I need one of those Campagnolo heads.

I've been pretty good with #8. I had yellow Scapin branded bar tape to match the yellow on the Scapin frame, the top of the Woundup fork, and the yellow saddle. When I couldn't get the yellow tape, I was able to source black, Scapin branded bar tape to match the black parts of the frame. I mostly used Michelin Pro4 with a yellow stripe.

I've inadvertently broken a few. I wear short socks. I have taken shots of my bike with the cranks at 90 and 180 degrees. I have been using a saddle bag. I used to use a bidon cage gear carrier, but I needed the second bidon for long rides. Melbourne is low humidity and it can be hot. I have used over-sized bidons for long rides, but they were Campagnolo bidons, so I think I get a pass. I have upgraded to Campagnolo Super Record Water Bottle & Cage Set | ProBikeKit Australia, so I'm ticking a few more boxes.

I have just bought a medium-cage Record rear derailleur that can handle bigger cogs than my current Record short-cage model. It's a concession to old age. The new rear derailleur, like everything from Campagnolo, is a thing of beauty. Lovely, glossy carbon fibre mixed with titanium. Yum. wiggle.com.au | Campagnolo Record 10 Speed Rear Derailleur | Derailleurs Rear - Road I think that's in the rules

#90. have never been able to climb hills on the big ring. The closest I've come is riding around most of the Kew section of the Yarra Blvd (Melbourne) in the big ring. I'm better at riding downhill. Johan Museeuw was brilliant.

I feel dumb now... I've matched my tires to frame decals (red) and handlebars tape to frame color (black)...
The tan lines part, and shorts color, I usually get those right, though
