Home spin bikes
I did an exercise on the app that combined free weights with the bike. I don't see why I would ever do free weights by themself, ever again. I feel like I've been through a ringer! This bike was maybe the best gift my mother has ever given me, from the standpoint of quality of life, and she has given me some exceptional gifts. I finally think I have the saddle position dialed in. That really make a big difference to the perineum!

Boy is this a lot better with the new pedals and shoes! I did a 45 minute advanced beginner course, today. I am bushed!

Tidal v. Qobuz?
I subscribe to Apple Music through the college sub, and I have the hifi sub to Tidal. I love Tidal, snake oil or no. High Rez is something I've double-blinded (if you knew me, TMoney, you would know about my double-blind experiments; it's a big part of what Head-Case was founded on), and it is demonstrably better. It may just be the mastering, but better mastering in high res is better than worse mastering in not. No?

I ended up doing forty five minutes of free weights this evening, and I have enough endorphins going that I want to jump back on the bike. I think that is a good sign.

I finally got the Sunny set up and adjusted, and I did an intro Peloton 30 minute course last night. Boy do I feel it today! I'm going to rest today and get back on tomorrow (I also get my Shimano shoes and pedals tomorrow, which I think will be great).

"HOLY SHIT!" retracted. Oris Thelonious Monk, today. It really is an excellent watch, though I don't wear it that much.

Fortunately not; she looks high maintenance. A funny thing is how she chose that particular bike. I had told her that I wanted to get a spin bike. She called Amazon (on the phone!), asked to talk to an exercise expert, and that is the one that was suggested as being the best bang for buck.

Thanks guys! I have a bit of research to do before I buy something.

And now what did you do TODAY?
Gustin raw denim skinny experiment #2 has me realizing that skinny jeans just aren't for me, though I can now sing soprano parts.

Think it's worth double the price of the one I linked? I've had an Airdyne; it's not really quite the same workout...

Home spin bikes
So, I want to get a spin bike for home, after having done some spinning at gyms. Obviously I want the Peloton, but I just can't bring myself to spend the money, for some reason. Does anybody have one of the knock-off bikes? I'm strongly considering one of these. I don't think I'll mind a simple knob for resistance adjustment.

Silver is very affectionate on her own terms, but Dunhill nee' Mittens is such an amazingly docile cat that I feel bad that that he doesn't belong to some big family. This is him settling down next to me after I danced with him to Stevie Wonder for about half an hour. He was purring the whole time.

Montblanc wants $650 for an alligator strap for their (admittedly very nice and cheaper than it should be) Heritage Ultra Slim. Just for the strap! It is, by the way, made by guess who. As are JLC, AP, and Patek straps.

I was expecting it to actually be around $500, but you'd be shocked with a replacement OEM gator strap can cost from a dealer.

I doubt it's more than $800.

I think it's going to look awesome, Sam!

Straps wear out. They are like tires. Just wear the damned watch the way it was made.

And now what did you do TODAY?
I am finalizing my 50% 401k transfer, today. I decided to wear an outfit that is much more expensive than the transfer. I'm also taking "Scout" (my new partner) to school. And then I get dinner with my mentor, tonight. I said "no" to Colie, the other day. She hated it. Scout was indifferent.

Silver had to go to the vet, today, for an upper respiratory infcection. You would have thought she was being murdered. Now she is very sleepy.

Season three of The Expanse. It's a huge upgrade over already good seasons. Amazon did something right! Now all they need to to do is fix Amazon Logistics so that I actually get my packages.
