Macgyvered, Skinned again

So despite my lack of hope of  any sort of permanent repair for my Forerunner 201, I gave it one more shot yesterday.  I unbent the one button contact that I damaged and then used a slightly different angle to snap the two halves together.  It worked.  I no longer have to keep my thumb pressed on right side of the watch for it to run.  All I need to do is pick up some thin silicone sealant to reseal the watch and I think it will be good to go.

I was quite surprised at my success.  I had pretty much written off the watch to the GPS graveyard.

Last night Ali and I went out on our bikes for a bit.  I wanted to give my new Trek 2.1 an extended test ride.  The bike feels light and fast.  Because it is a big frame I am curious how the geometry will work out if I put my tri bars on it.  It feels like I have a long way to go down to get to the handlebars.

We were out on the road right around dusk.  Riding the roads during that time of day meant the bugs were out in full force.  As Ali and cruised down the road we had a constant barrage of bugs bouncing off our bodies.  We tried to keep our mouths closed.

This morning I made an unwelcome trip back to the dermatologist.  I had a couple spots on my body that were looking suspicious.  One of them was right in front of my right ear.  I had something removed from the same spot on the left side a few years ago.

The doctor took a sample of the area for testing.  He also took pictures of other spots on my body to keep an eye on, well his female assistant did.  There was an awkward moment where the woman was circling me taking pictures as I stood there in my boxer shorts.  I said to her, trying to be helpful, “Is there anything else you want to take pictures of?”.  She just paused for a second and smirked.  I immediately realized how that sounded.  Oh well.
