Skipped, Final Form, Stretched, Halloween Wheel

Originally I had planned to try to ride Victoria Park last night but skipped it because my knees were feeling shitty. In retrospect I am glad I did because I got a report that the place was absolutely mobbed. Riding wheels with wall to wall people is never a fun time. Instead I got some more stuff done around the house.

One of those items was cleaning up the install of the new RGB lighting in the office. I wanted to hide the power cable that runs up the wall. I had some left over cable track that I used when I first moved in which was just about perfect for the job. I really like the final visual of the lights. It looks very cool, IMO.

I also installed some replacement front handle/bumpers that I 3D printed on my Patton. The replacement set allows me to add color as well as functionality as it is higher and gives better access to the charging port. I am not all that pleased with this shade of orange though. I have a darker variety coming which I will reprint these in. I also am trying to dial in how to minimize supports that are needed for these prints as they do not detach cleanly, making the area where they supported look sort of shitty.

This morning I made a last minute decision to ride my V13 to work. I did not wear a costume once again this year but I thought if pressed I could put on my helmet and say I did. It is a very orange wheel so I thought it fit the theme.

Finally, somehow last night I stumbled across this old picture of my brother and I. If I am not mistaken I think this was taken at his wedding. If am not mistaken again, I think we both had been drinking heavily when the picture was taken. This was in the early 2000’s
