Upgraded my helmet to a Stilo with a HANS device and got a new seat.

I tried quite a few seats and most were too big for me.  This one felt great.

Got my bike this morning.  Needs a wash.  I'll tend to that tonight.

Sure seems that more salt gets used every year.
At Costco the other day, their sidewalks were completely white from salt residue.. there was even a salt haze in the air from the powder.
Insane.  Of course I guess if they don't dump tons of it, someone will slip while they're texting and they get lawsuited.

Some area around here , they had to install wate lines because the ground water is  contaminated with salt 🙄

We use a modular clamping system for some of our components, and at times space is a bit fussy to undo the clamps.  So I got myself a nice tiny ratchet to get the job done!

I got it at Princess Auto...But didn't get Powerfisted. [emoji2] I forget the brand.

Couldn't find anything this small anywhere else.

I bought one a bunch of years ago. Really handy to have.

The Snap-On truck was at work one day, so I figured what the hell. It was around forty bucks, but it's a nice little ratchet.

Only Snap-On tool I have, and don't plan on getting any more. But it's fun to have at least one. ;D

When this ratchet combo goes on sale for half-price, grab one, it's worth it for the flex-head ratchet alone.

If No-San were to buy something like this there would be a 20-page thread about it beforehand...
