With various meteorologists predicting half-inch rainfall totals from this storm, I figured that would mean I would find a waterline around the one-inch mark in my backyard precipitometer this morning. But it seems this overnight system proved to be an under-achiever. Still, 0.50 inches ain’t nothing to dismiss, and with it that brings our season’s …
My headtube sticker tradition only goes back to 8Ball, but going forward from that not-too-distant beginning it had now been decreed that no bike build/individualization of mine can be complete without one, so behold the transformation: Before After And of course being a thrice-baked bikegeeknerd I commemorated its application to the frame in the following …
At the end of my post a couple days ago about being able to put together a completed El Naranja without needing to make a parts expenditure beyond a set of crank bolts (to replace the ones I knew I had somewhere but couldn’t lay hands to), you might recall I I ended the entry …
I was remiss in posting the precipitation total for Sunday’s storm: At juuuuuuuust a follicle under a full inch I’m gonna geek out and callit 31/32nds of an inch or 0.96875″, bringing our overall backyard rainfall since that first storm October 5 to be 6.28125 inches. Word is another storm might pass through Friday/Saturday.
As is visible from my puffed up chest, I’m quite and entirely satisfied with myself in that the only parts I had to purchase in frankenshtein’ing El Naranja together was a set of crank bolts (and, yeah, that fantastically fantastic headset press tool I DIY’d if you wanna be picky). And the only reason I …
It’s certainly an odd comparison to make but your first ride on a new bike is a bit like your first cigarette: subsequent ones just never come close to being as good. And so it was that I took El Naranja for her inaugural roll around the way on a 12.39-mile roundabout route that’s pretty …
Yesterday’s precipitation totals are in at a hair over an inch, as shown: I’m calling it 1.0625 inches or 1-1/16th for all you fraction fans. That brings the annual-to-date tally up near 5-1/3 inches or 5.3125 for all you decimal devotees. I should and will note that yesterday’s rain accumulation from whenever it started late …
