Musings about life on two wheels

  • Helping out a friend

    Tl;Dr: I helped a friend sell a bike, it was nice I ran into Marty, a few months ago. Marty was the helpful person at a local store – competent, friendly, and overall really nice. Over the years we’ve talked bikes. When I saw him last summer he mentioned he was trying to sell an…

  • Weight loss – what works for me

    Tl;Dr: Logging food is effective and can be easy, focus on that. I like Macrofactor. Want to improve your quality of life and reduce suffering near end of life? For the vast majority of people that means losing weight. Heart Disease, Cancer and Stroke are how most people in the U.S. die, being overweight contributes…

  • Why protest at Tesla

    Tl;Dr: Tesla is key to Elin’s wealth – reducing Tesla stock price is how you oppose an Oligarch It’s hard to know which is worse: Trump’s chaos, or Elon’s very pointed effort to dismantle our government. To oppose Trump, call your senator and get out and March – there are laws and rules about how…

  • Fancy coffee: the Switch & the God/Devil recipe

    Tl;Dr; the recipe is here, and on my first try  pretty good. Coffee’s been a big part of my life since college. During COVID, I jumped on the Pour Over craze. A year ago I got a Switch immersion brewer. It’s pretty great, but I still don’t feel like I make amazing coffee with it.…

  • La Paz day 3 & 4

    On Friday we went on the Live Love and Eat La Paz food tour – we visited 3 taco stands with Citlali our excellent guide. She also told us about the history of city, pointed out some great cultural and commercial spots, and was generally friendly & awesome. She took us past Gratitude coffee roaster…

  • La Paz 2025 – Day 1 & 2

    Tl;Dr: Great trip, La Paz is Big, Don’t miss Balandera We started planning this trip last year, realizing that near the end of Winter we need a little Sun. An unexpected trip to Vienna means we have done more travelling this year than normal, felt a little strange to be getting on the plane again…

  • Very few insects in La Paz

    Perhaps it’s just that it’s winter here, but we have seen very, very few insects. My sophisticated flea det action system managed to find a hungry family, several very itchy bites. And I think M. saw A cockroach. As in one. We’ve seen a few flies, enough to occasionally brush one away. Zero mosquitos. But…

  • La Paz wanderings

    Had a nice relaxed day in La Paz. Off to a bit of a late start with Ms. M. walked to our current favorite coffee shop, Gratitude. We stopped in the public market for some gifts. From here we wanted to go to lunch & the whale museum, but the museum closes at 2 so…

  • Mexican Sidewalk (why ya trying to kill me?)

    Tl;Dr: Mexican side walks (in La Paz) should be an Olympic sport. Funny video. Mexican Sidewalks I don’t really understand how this could happen, except possibly the sidewalk is owned by the property owner? There seems to be zero design guidance. On today’s stroll: Marcie thought Parkour. I think that’s right…

  • I called Social Security today

    Tl;Dr: Sign in now to find out what you have before you lose it https://www.ssa.gov/ The administration is cutting Social Security Administration staff, and shows every sign of messing with the rest. Time to sign in and make a record of what you’ve earned. I tried signing in, but needed to call according to the…
