Half the row was that way. Most of the blistering is at/below the first knuckle, so lifting/rowing gloves won't help either. I guess my hand modeling future is out the window now with all these calluses lol

Ya, my brain works in mysterious ways 😅

Got to hand it to them, they're still smiling in all their photos. I have faith they'll pull through and won't let this accident hold them back.

On Tuesday I realized we didn't have enough cheese for Taco Tuesday, so decided to row a half marathon instead. First time ever rowing this long, the main pain was my hands blistering. Next long row I'll try wearing some dirtbike gloves.

When I got my street bike (16), I was the first in the family to have chain drive, all 5 other bikes were shaft. Sooo naturally never once lubed my chain until Kyle came into my life 2 years later 😅 I had no idea, was just happy to ride my bike. Now I know better.

There's Duffield Powersports in Barrie. Or ask for Frank at New to You Tire in Barrie 461 Dunlop St West. I have not used either, but they're mentioned in the local sportbike group a lot. Bring your rim off the bike.

The way the roof line is, we can't extend the garage either direction. We have talked about getting a bigger/more solid shed put in the back eventually. Will still cost a pretty penny as the ground is very sloped, but really the only option for where we are. And likely the route we'll take...

In my case, I knew it was a safe bet. There's 3 of us in sales (4 if you include some of the purchasers sales) and I bring in about 50% of the business. They struggle to cover for me when I take Fridays off for vacation which are our slowest days, so I know they'd be f'ed to keep up the load if...

Yup, Pete's Superbike has had the best prices for years. When I used to work at dealerships we would match the price if someone asked, but it left very little profit. Just keep in mind, some places will charge you more to instal tires purchased elsewhere. But there are also a lot of shops that...

I had taken a break from doing the Concept 2 WODs to focus on longer rows, but got back to doing one today. There's still a few hours left in the day due to timezones, but currently sitting 4th amongst the women and top Canadian 😁 For reference, I'm only 422/1774 with the mens times included...

I work 5km from home and come home everyday for lunch. It's glorious just to get a break and sometimes mid-day nap. When I first moved to Orillia I calculated that I could take a $2.50/hr pay cut and still come out even without having to pay for gas in my car. So I did. Since then I've moved on...

If we didn't race bikes we could easily knock a couple years off 😅 Thankfully for the 2 of us, the house is our only debt, so if we can pay more down we will. The biggest issue we have with the house is that it's a single car garage, that we've squeezed 9 bikes into. So trying to work on them...

My mortgage is also up in November. Going from 2.04% to who knows what, but definitely higher 😬 Going to look at paying weekly so more goes towards principal than interest. Right now we're doing biweekly. I keep looking at "new" houses/properties, but then do the math on the higher amount and...

I wear VNM base layers now, but when I started it was just what ever athletic long sleeved shirt and pants I could find in the clearance section. VNM stuff is great, but very expensive and worse now with the exchange, so don't feel like you need to get her gear if it doesn't fit your budget. I...

Rode on Saturday, Southwood is it's normal state, bottom half is very patchy, top half clean. Frank Miller was good, but Foreman had some sandy bits.
