My Roomba feels the struggle

This is my biggest pet peeve on the trails. I don't want another broken collarbone, but that will heal. More importantly, pulmonary contusions from a bike wheel rolling over a dog's chest are a bad way to die in a vet hospital. Ask me how I know....

In this part of the country you don't need to go to wooded areas. I used to live in a second-floor apartment in Yonkers and would find several ticks inside every year. Lil bastards scare the hell out of me.

Science still thanks you for your contribution.

I have a 12" Cannondale with pedals and training wheels. Let me know if you want to know more. I'm in 07006

Came here to say this. Much better than tweezers, and lots of various designs available. Gonna keep playing this broken record but please make sure your pets are up to date on their parasite preventatives. Shit's scary out there.

Short jaunt but it was too nice not to be out. I complimented his new hat on the way by

If it's above freezing, ticks are active. Glad you found it. Friendly reminder from your neighborhood veterinarian to make sure your pets get monthly flea and tick prevention year-round. I make a lot more money for treating Lyme than I do preventing it but damned if I'm gonna let my patients go...

Scrimmage before the first game of the beer-league softball season starts on Monday. I got a HR with 3 RBIs! (I don't actually know anything about baseball/softball)

I have this one on my gravel bike and have been happy with it. It was the longest one I could find when I went hunting a few years ago. I think there was maybe a 125mm available but it was double the price. https://a.co/d/04dVoVmw

Murica don't need no metric system

Neat

From Woo to Wee Woo. For a women's hockey team called Sirens... I can't be the only one imagining mermaids, and yet here we are... Let's go Sirens, Wee Woo Wee Wo
