        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.

        Please love yourself.

          How old are you now?

          My guess is 37 or maybe 36.

          Only non-witches get due process.

              @jon-nyc I don't care about that. I want to know whether he had the Bottle, the Jug or the Yellow Jug.

                Good guesses. 39.

                @Catseye3 bottle. I'm easing in.

                  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.

                                  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.

                                    Maybe the rim pinched it? You really gotta push the tube into the tire to make sure the rim doesn't pinch it once you seat the tire. Mine aren't at all flexible in that area so I really gotta shove it in there.

                                      The sad part was there was a 2 minute delay after I pumped the tyre up before the loud bang occurred - just enough time for me to say to Mrs. Phibes ,'See, I told you wasn't completely useless at this stuff....'

                                        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.

                                        Maybe the rim pinched it? You really gotta push the tube into the tire to make sure the rim doesn't pinch it once you seat the tire. Mine aren't at all flexible in that area so I really gotta shove it in there.

                                        The sad part was there was a 2 minute delay after I pumped the tyre up before the loud bang occurred - just enough time for me to say to Mrs. Phibes ,'See, I told you wasn't completely useless at this stuff....'

                                        I cannot count the number of times I have completely, utterly, thoroughly lost my shit on the side of a road due to a problem that I didn't know how to solve at the time, but now I consider no big deal because it's happened so often by now.

                                        Please love yourself.
