I read the blog when Daniel first posted the link - it made me feel old. The level of frenetic activity undertaken and then described - in some detail - rather put my daily tinkering in perspective as an ever-flattening curve, very nearly at the point where my 'progress' would take a sundial and perhaps the Staff of Ra to chart, and could be neatly and completely described in a short weekly narrative carved - in pictograms - on a stone tablet by a man only somewhat handy with a chisel.
Sorry to hear (read) about the tendons... Fast1 rode the 185 to a mostly-Harley-guys event last fall - nobody said anything to anyone at any point. You guys are just too tall is all.
