I eat. I run. I sleep.

First ride on new Checkpoint SL 5 involved riding into 20mph wind with 30mph gusts for 7.5 miles. It wasn’t pretty but riding with the wind after turning around was pretty nice!

@ty_406 I chose Strava as I have Garmin upload to it, but I look at Garmin sometimes.
@Johan_Barelds They always work well for me. They have quite a lot of options, so I usually pick thicker ones in the winter and medium or thin in the warmer months.

@Alice Hell, time to open up Music and listen to this again.
@autumn long time Garmin user here. I’ve attempted switching to Apple Watch several times over the years. The thing I like best about Garmin compared to AW is the physical buttons, and not having to lock the screen when it’s under wet shirt sleeves.

Jon Stewart. Daily Show. Tonight.

You're welcome.

@LALegault I don’t think you missed much this year. I was very disappointed in the commercials.

Question : Do you know how Norwegians fill out their tax returns?
Answer : They don´t.

This is an oversimplification, but years ago Norwegians started to get pre-filled tax returns in the mail. Later they stopped getting them, but instead had to do an OK online. Now even that is not needed. No comment means it is is OK. You can rectify and modify details online, if needed.

The reality is that the government already had most of the data needed for most individuals. Your salary is reported by the company you work for. Your bank details, including anything you have in your accounts, any loans, stocks, bonds, etc., is reported as well. Your kids are known as well. There might be details to add, but most is known. Why waste people´s time filling out details that are already known and risk people making mistakes?

When will the US get there?

Perhaps it’s a sign I’m not meant to do my own bike maintenance when the first time I change my tires I find the tubes I ordered are the wrong size and I manage to lose the bolt on my quick release stem somewhere in my basement.
