Just remember, dude, no matter how old you are, I've still got boots older than you.

Thanks, everybody!
There's a place I drove by a few days ago: Randy's Ribs, touted as the only true open pit BBQ place in all of Maryland. (For those unawares, pit beef is very much a Thing in central Maryland. Yeah, I know, I don't get it, either.) The restaurant is all kinds of fantastic. I took a picture, and I'll share it here once the roll's developed. When you're in line, you have almost no indication that you're not in 1975. One line on a sign (that's definitely as old as Jolly's boots) indicates they have a website, and that's it. The line forms in the parking lot, which it shares with a Baptist church and Rotary Club Bingo. If you like the sauce, it comes in 3 sizes: Bottle, Jug, and Yellow Jug. It's freaking great.
Today, I sampled Randy's Ribs, and saw that it was Good.

How old are you now?
My guess is 37 or maybe 36.

Happy birthday, Aqua! I hope you had lots of cake or other treats in addition to the BBQ. Got any special plans with the family?

39? Damn time flies. In my mind you are 23, even though I know you aren't.

Thanks all! Aside from a cool family road trip, I pulled my bike out of storage and
broke a toe?bought some crap to trick it out some. Gatorskin tires, Dura-Ace cables, new chainring, new brake levers, and I'm converting the front thru-axle to a quick release. The work will be most of the fun.My wife's gonna take over the ebike as soon as it's fixed up. It'll haul the kiddo in a trailer. It's gonna be speedy.

Converting a wheel is easy, but how do you convert the frame?

Nothing on the frame, but the axle might prove to be a bit of a challenge. How do you get the cones and cups to be the right diameter, distance, etc? There are adapters you can get but it seems you have to take a ton of measurements.

Gatorskin tires
I just bought some of those after getting sick of punctures. I did something wrong, as the inner tube blew the tyre clean off the rim.
It made a hell of a noise, but seems undamaged - which is more than I can say for the inner tube.
