Warsaw :/
I'm sleepy. Also no snow + the amount of light we get in Poland during winters is a real bummer. Hard to get motivated. Still life is decent. Friend offered to sell me his bike and I'm tempted but I also don't want to be broke the whole year.

Morning Monkeys.

Holy shit show. The time off was nice, but seems stuff blew up while I was out, so I get to figure that out. Car battery was dead this morning, so that was nice.

We set up 2 cameras in the house, this is the first time we have both been gone with all 3 pups. Hope for the best, I don't want to have to kennel Indy.

Went back to the office today for a soft landing with few people in the office, when home early and got a nap on the couch and then went to the gym. Low stress start to the year. No beer and dinner time.

gettin old....My dad's xmas gift was a nasty cold that has torn through my family one person at a time. My "dude fasting" defense mechanism didn't stop it...so now I got the sniffles hella bad yo

Then this morning I picked up my son and threw my back out. Noice. Spent all day yesterday chipping ice in the driveway so that's probably why. I want a heating pad and an advil :(

In better news I'm getting ever closer to pulling the trigger on the last few parts of my new road bike. Should be a nice motivator to get outside once the spring comes.

Pissing rain here today so took the opportunity to do a short ride on rocks and take the obligatory touristy picture at the top of Big Rock.

did you figure out your cranks?
kind of. In typical sandwich fashion, I bought a NOS set of rotor 3DF off of fleabay from a guy in (presumably south) Korea. They are an MTB 2x setup, so wicked cheap, but I only need to run a single 110mm chainring, so it should work. In theory I should be able to space the ring further toward the center of the chainline compared to a road 2x setup, if the arms and Q factor are as described. If nothing else, I can swap the spider for a 1x.

lots of saturated fat :(
The evidence for saturated fat isn't convincing, IMO. Replacing it with carbs likely raises CVD risk, and replacing it with vegetable oil is probably a wash to worse for the veggie oil. Replace it with olive oil and you might do a bit better.

This wasn't a perfect study, but it is pretty targeted to sat fat vs veggie oil...
