If you're curious about the earnings of CFL players, in 2023, the salaries varied widely, reflecting factors like experience, position, and performance. According to recent data from CFL News Hub at https://cflnewshub.com/extra/how-much-do-cfl-players-make-in-2023/, the average salary ranged from around $65,000 to $80,000, with star players and veterans earning considerably more. These figures, however, are subject to change due to negotiations, endorsements, and team contracts.

Came up on an unmotorized roadie at a long light today. He was wearing this jersey.

We chatted till the light changed. As you might imagine, a pretty chill guy.

Pretty much sums up my own approach to riding, so I ordered a long-sleeve version when I got home.

XXL version sold out.

Pretty sure it'd go that way at my house, too.

I am converting a trike today and needed to confirm something from this video. This video shows the ugliest bike build I have ever seen. It starts when the build is almost finished. The wires! Now that is ugly. A rat's nest.

routing wires through the frame

What I do is use brake cable. First I place a gentle bend into the leading end after checking the exact length. I run it out the hole using a wheel magnet. I build up the pull end with shrink tube and then connect it to the cable I am pulling with shrink tube. I lucked out on the trike. The pedals are forward of the seat tube and the bottom of the seat tube is open. So that is where I stuffed the extra wires, hidden in the middle of the trike. Gone just like magic.

I just test rode the tike. Power level 1 of 9 is all that is needed. It is probably 12 years-old, but the owner loves it. She lives in a retirement community and it is her only transportation. She told me the reason to make it electric is incase there is a flash mob riot, she can escape!

Are flash mob riots a problem in retirement communities?

Riots, absolutely — mostly over pickleball noise and whether or not trikes should be allowed on the greenbelt.

Flash mobs, no — way too newfangled, and we don't check our texts often enough.

Riots over Bingo? I had something going on over the Summer at the Community Center as people were entering for bingo night. I have never seen a group of people in worst shape. These are people you just never see in public. Many can barely walk. They all had two liter bottles of soda, giant bags of chips, and big bags of candy. Red vines were particularly popular. The worst of the worst had stretchy pants. Some people should not be permitted to have stretchy pants in public!

Enid is the owner of that trike. Everyone has their motivations. She happened to get into the middle of a violent race riot in Oakland with clashing sides that seemingly came out of no where with skinheads and Proud Boys. That is the city where the Black Panthers was founded. I think she has PTSD.

Ditto for thong bikinis and men's Speedos. Big beach hazards here in San Diego.

The guy wraps big ugly wires around the head tube like seven times! This is how that trike turned out yesterday. The owner is so happy after a test ride but I still have it for the final touch of new brakes that arrive tomorrow.

The intention was to make a watchable video, not a ridable ebike, that's how it's possible. Commissions come from videos...

What is weird is that it is supposed to be a seller's representative's top pro builder in that video and it looks like dog barf.

I try to stay at least a half-century up to date.

I know who Taylor Swift is from reading about the phenomena, even in the business pages. But sadly I couldn't identify a Taylor Swift song.
