I have contemplated making a smaller bar out of it by cutting a door in the side, but I will likely leave it as is and use it as a table in the upcoming whiskey room.

We need details on THE WHISKEY ROOM.

I will be doing a build thread for it probably. I ran out of shelf space and got the green light to take some room and build full wall shelving units and then have some nice leather chairs and really just try to complete the feel of a whiskey room

I have a better selection than 99% of the stores and bars around me so makes sense to make a good spot at the house.

That’s incredible. Any interest in cigars? Could make for a fantastic setting for a smoke.

2021 Cannondale Synapse Carbon Ultegra.

It's a freakin' unicorn.

I found three..... THREE coming in to the US for the entire rest of 2021. One was already spoken for and I got one of the other ones-- it should arrive around the end of April.

Covid has absolutely *destroyed* the bicycle industry's supply chain (I'm looking at *you*, Shimano.)

The only problem? The bike will be delivered to Chicago and I have to purchase it in person as they won't ship without me "laying hands" on it.

A problem to be solved later as I live in Denver.

Worst case? Jump on a plane, fly to Chicago, Uber to bike shop, pay them to disassemble, pack and ship, Uber back to airport, fly back to Denver.

Easy peasy.

Going to order new Nox Composites wheels for it on Monday-- they have a two month build time due to lack of availability of Industry 9 road hubs, so the timing should work out well.

That's a cool score. Good luck with your delivery plans. I don't understand their reluctance to ship it out to you but I guess that's the world we live in now.

Foam tips for airpod pros. Got tired of them almost falling out of my ears whenever i do something

It's because as an authorized Cannondale dealer, they're not allowed to do online sales. It's actually very common in the bike industry-- Specialized is another example of such. Also, when I raised the question to the manager, he said that the bikes are so rare (any bikes, really- due to Covid) that they want to service they're local (and loyal) customers.

I'm just in the unique position of being able to jet to Chicago and have it cost no more than some time and a Uber to the bike shop, so I can comply with the "letter" of their dealership agreement, if not the spirit. There are occasionally a few perks to my job.

Depending on when it arrives, I might just ride my GS out there and back for something to do-- I've got three weeks of vacation over when its supposed to arrive, and my wife and I only have plans for a week of it.

Thanx for the explanation. I hadn't considered the exclusivity and the customer loyalty angle. Any chance you could catch a front seat from Denver to Chicago and actually get paid to pick up the bike? That would be sweet.

Well assembled mine today only to find that the hydro fitting on the pump is made wrong. Now I have to contact them for another. Bummer.

I would just make a few days road trip out of it. Drive there in one overnight. Pick it up. Drive it back and hit some nice paths/trails etc on the way home. That sounds way more fun than disassembling it and worrying about it in transit.

What blows. What connector is bad...the ones' the two lines plug into?

TiMSport · 03-26-2021, 10:35 AM

Bought an inexpensive single automatic watch winder from Amazon. Better than I expected for the money.

Gregrobin · 03-26-2021, 10:45 AM

Don't ask...

Gregrobin · 03-26-2021, 10:48 AM

Only took me years of wasting 100s of nice towels to realize I could have purchased these.

The male fitting on the actual pump the hose fit into. I went to the local hydro shop and got a much high quality replacement for $57. They said they see it all the time. Companies try to mass produce something that shouldn't be. The tolerance is way too tight for any error. New one is so much more buttery smooth than the others.

I still have tickets for Wacken Open Air that I bought in Aug '19 for the 2020 festival. The way things are going in Europe right now I'm starting to hope it gets postponed for another year.

Nashville. This is actually a reschedule of last summers tour since it got canceled. I typically don't buy the ticket insurance, but I sprung for it this time just in case. Looking forward that weekend all the way around. Taking that Friday off, day of the show and since it's Labor Day weekend, I'll have the following Monday off as well.
