I moved the C13 saddle over from the Mountainhack, replaced the pseudo-ergo Kestrel (EMS pro?) handlebars with a set of traditional bend Easton bars that had been kicking around in my bike mess for a while, then tossed the 50/39 round chainrings in favor of a 52/42 v2 Biopace pair.

Mavis & Ozymandias are creeping towards an accomodation. Thor & Mavis, not so much, but baby steps are still steps.

A 10×7.5" rack fitted to a Elephant NFE fork. Currently hovering because I need to verify the alignment before gluing on the fork leg stay and crown braces.

A northbound train on the Tri-Met viaduct just south of downtown Milwaukie (not on the trestle; the viaduct is adjacent to and a little bit higher than the trestle.)

Thor and (to a lesser extent) Ozymandias have long fur growing out of the bottom of their paws. This makes cornering on hardwood floors less effective than it would be on a shorthaired cat.

I’d poured myself a glass of water, but then stepped away for a second and someone decided to help herself to a drink.

A couple of trains sit at Clackamas Town Center this afternoon while I was working my way back from Oregon City.

Looking over the xtracycle’s front triangle to see what lugs need to be touched up before I design and glue a rear triangle onto the thing.

The occasional “I’ve hacked your account” spam messages are getting more elaborate, and more unconvincing. (Ooooh, they can forge the From: address on mail. Gosh, nobody in the entire world has ever done sendmail -f before) – this one doesn’t even deserve a mocking “bring it on” reply.
Hello orc@
My nickname in darknet is solomon99.
I’ll begin by saying that I hacked this mailbox (please look
on ‘from’ in your header more than six months ago, through
it I infected your operating system with a virus (trojan) created
by me and have been monitoring you for a long time.
Even if you changed the password after that - it does
not matter, my virus intercepted all the caching data on your
computer and automatically saved access for me.
I have access to all your accounts, social networks, email,
browsing history. Accordingly, I have the data of all your
contacts, files from your computer, photos and videos.
I was most struck by the intimate content sites that
you occasionally visit. You have a very wild imagination,
I tell you!
During your pastime and entertainment there, I took
screenshot through the camera of your device,
synchronizing with what you are watching.
Oh my god! You are so funny and excited!
I think that you do not want all your contacts to get
these files, right? If you are of the same opinion, then
I think that $500 is quite a fair price to destroy the dirt
I created.
Send the above amount on my bitcoin wallet: *********************
As soon as the above amount is received, I guarantee
that the data will be deleted, I do not need it.
Otherwise, these files and history of visiting sites
will get all your contacts from your device. Also, I’ll
send to everyone your contact access to your email
and access logs, I have carefully saved it!
Since reading this letter you have 48 hours!
After your reading this message, I’ll receive an
automatic notification that you have seen the letter.
I hope I taught you a good lesson.
Do not be so nonchalant, please visit only to proven
resources, and don’t enter your passwords anywhere!
(But look on the bright side, babe – with this level of overly confident incoherence I’m sure you can get a great position in the propaganda department of the fascists who took over the US government.)

A Dursley-Pedersen frame sized for 24" wheels and without a sternum punch front-end. I think I’ve got enough appropriately-sized tubing to build this frame (and maybe enough to build a D-P fork) and a proper front rack for the thing.
