Good Stuff You Bought

I like this The North Face Stormbreak 2 tent; nice airflow, everything seems well done, the outer rainfly is a good distance from the mesh inner. As to the interior...the bathtub floor material feels good - very different from, say, a Walmart Ozark Trail tent.

Got some very nice herb from the dispensary near my work. Gonna be a nice weekend. And also pizza.

Every ride should be an enhanced ride.

What kind did you buy?

This is the one. The attachment for the air pump was different than what I had, so I use the pump for some of the inflation and use my breath for the rest. I think the kids like them. Spoiled kids. Lol. I never used to use an air mattress when I was a kid.

I have a couple of those intex mattresses in queen size that are over ten years old and they still hold air

Had terrible luck with those off the shelf mattresses, I am kinda hard on them.
I finally broke down and bought a 60$ one online made out of reinforced fabric.
Pumped it up 5 years ago and it's still fully inflated.

....anything that advertizes that it doesn't have something beginning with "Phth", I'm buying.

Phthalate and PVC-Free

Yeah...whatever that is : )
I have literally gone threw half a dozen air mattresses, and this is the one and ONLY that actually does not leak air over a few days much less over 5 years.

got a new/used bike camera today. the cycliq. works well and would you know it the first test ride and I get to film a car pulling out in front of us. my wife did not stop peddling or talking while I was jamming on the brakes. I want to get the twilight and camera when i can. it is connected to my garmin so it turns on and starts recording automatically.

Yeah, that sounds typical for my rides. There are so many many cars on the road in just a couple of years and I couldn't figure that out and why the transit is packed every day, until I saw the vaccination figures and what they weren't telling us...that the city had quietly added 50% more people from 4 million to 6 million.
What was the price for a used model?

How compact is this? When folded.

In the sack it isn't tightly packed, it's kinda loose, and it measures 19" by 7" diameter. So it could be made a little smaller.

If you want the most relaxing sleep while camping then I recommend the Exped Megamat Duo 15LXM. It’s worth every penny and as a bonus stops the cold from the floor getting to you.

The lights are handy because the strap can go through the holes in a bike helmet.

Those do look like ultimate mats. Not in my price range, though.

The biggest gripe reviewers had about the tent is that the zippers get caught in the flap fabric. I immediately found that to be true, but if you just use the back of the hand pulling the zipper to shield the fabric away as you pull, it doesn't happen at all. Even when I first tried and the fabric got caught it was very easy to free it up. The zippers are just fine. You have to take the slightest precaution and no problem.

Hey Rome, you don't have to spell "tire" like the British just because they're imported

Are there doctors dieing in Canada 6 of them from covid booster shots?

Yes, all of a sudden. But at least one of them had a long term disease before that anyway, though. Suddenly died after getting boosted, nonetheless. Home runs, you could say.

In the box is front specific Schwalbe Eddy Current tyre from Chain Reaction it came all the way from England.

I bought my locks from them at a great discount. Good company. I think they were actually sent from Spain, if I recall correctly. I should check for winter tires from them.

Happy 4th, Americans!

note for Canadians:
The Bay just delivered the Under Armour T's and the Jack Jones sweatshirt. Both OK for purpose, styling and feel is not as good Dickie's T's and Jack Jones is not even in the same universe as the Black and Brown merino sweaters.

The Jack Jones sweatshirt is worth less than the sale price even if you like the style, I don't. But I've revised my opinion of the Under Armor T's. They feel much better after washing and probably will be good under the merino sweaters from The Bay. I bought 3 more of the merino sweaters for $23 each. I got size medium to get a close fit and then the size large over top for winter. Big down hooded coat over that should be good, with a merino beanie.
The Bay still has the grey merino sweaters for $23.
At that price they're cheaper than name brand T shirts, so why not?

That was all just in Toronto and surrounding area.
Not a good thing they bought into.
I think they should have just bought into a couple of merino sweaters and some Under Armour.
