Two Triolians built 92 years apart. Both guitars came to me by separate trades. A 1929 National wood body Triolian on the left and a 2021 National Reso-Phonic steel body Triolian on the right. Both play great and have very similar V-neck profiles. Kudos to NRP for the accurate reproduction. #guitar

Merckxie is the sunbeam queen.

Taking off my weather hat for a moment for something more important than the forecast…today is International Holocaust Remembrance Day. I’ve shared before that my grandparents (mom’s side) are both Holocaust survivors. Please do me a favor and read their story in this thread.

Happy #Caturday from the M&Ms, who are enjoying sunbeams and heating pads on this very cold day #CatsOfBluesky

I walked down to the ICE protest in downtown Boulder today. My Oura ring told me I was halfway to my activist goal for the day. I'm not sure what it expected me to do next.

The women’s race of today’s #Cyclocross #WorldCup was insanely good. Highly recommend watching the entire race if you can find it. And we coming up on the Christmas period - cyclocross almost every day!!

M&M enjoying a nice fall day.

Boulder Rez

We’re joining the No Kings protest today—not because we’re America-haters, Marxists, terrorists, or paid agitators, as some might claim—but because we are informed, concerned citizens, appalled by the erosion of constitutional order and rule of law. Civil liberties must be preserved for everyone.

Slightly diminish a band: The Mildly Appreciative Dying

Absolute perfection

There’s something Phishy about the music I’m hearing through my window tonight.

Raining in Boulder as I was riding in from the North by Boulder Rez. It had all dispersed by the time I got home but there were a few puddles.

I (70 yo white male with a white beard) got carded today in Whole Foods while buying non-alcoholic beer. I told the kid it’s NA and I pointed to the place on the carton where it says “non-alcoholic”. He pointed to the place where it said “less than .5% ABV”. Checkmate. Not everything goes our way.

Westword has a good article on 25 uphill cycling routes in Boulder, some well known and some obscure. I've done them all and as the article suggests, I climbed Lick Skillet once and never went back. www.westword.com/arts/25-boul...

I've been very impressed with the riding of Alex Baudin so far this season. He was top ten in LBL over Côte de La Redoute. In Romandie today he initiated the winning break, showed maturity in the finale, forcing Van Eetvelt to chase Fortunato. It could have been a win if Fortunato hadn't held on.

Storm over Boulder as seen from Boulder Rez on our ride. Accuweather didn't predict this or we wouldn't have been out there. Somehow we got home dry.

A bit ofSpring snowstorm outside has the girls snuggling up together.

Madeleine (aka Maddie Cat) doesn't get enough spotlight on the socials. Here she is being cute and silly at the same time. That's her back foot sticking out 😆 #Caturday #CatsOfBlueSky #IdesOfMarch

Merckxie is a very intelligent and nervous girl and I this picture captures it very well.

Maddie is playing her top cat games today to show up her sister.

I just discovered, by asking it, that ChatGPT is happy to take on any personality that you want. I asked for Marvin the Robot and it complied. It could pass a Turing test for responding like a depressed robot.

Sushi for dinner and the #TourDownUnder in the background. We will be done in time for the first time up Willunga Hill #CouchPeloton #TDU25 #ProCycling

Watching the 2024 Beniderm #cyclocross race in prep for Sunday’s race. This is a really good race youtu.be/BkrCjEllKnA?...

My wife @lisafw.bsky.social and I like to preview the upcoming cyclocross races by watching a historic version of the race. For Koksijde (1/3) you can do no better than the 2015 World Cup. For USA folks a VPN is needed. I used Switzerland. www.cyclingfans.com/node/21423

My brother used to play Wordle but doesn't anymore. Today I knew his starting word would score a one, so I let him know it was a good day to play Wordle.

We're trying to shame Maddie out of her very bad habit of eating stray bits of tape.

Cat Clinging To Side Of Christmas Tree Admits That Was Extent Of Plan theonion.com/cat-clinging...

Though they are few and far between, there are moments when I consider going on TikTok.

Bonus #Caturday post - Merckx always looks like she's in jail when she looks at us through the stair railing. In reality, this is her safe place when it's pill time (she thinks 😏) #CatsOfBluesky

World record firework in Nagaoka, Japan.

Merckxie thinks she might be about to be pilled. She's right.

It's going to be a good cyclocross weekend as it appears to be raining in Herentals and Namur. @lisafw.bsky.social and I are watching the 2021 Herentals race (first edition) while cooking dinner to get a course preview. It was a good one.

Try, try again ...

Good paw work from Merckxie Cat #lynxpoint

There was a C1 cyclocross race in Italy the other day. It was at Vittoria Park, a bike park next to the Vittoria tires HQ near Bergamo. It reminds me of Valmont Park here in Boulder. Thomas Mein was there. www.youtube.com/live/Ba92YoY...

You see this, post something green (take 3)

Perfect form!

Our first heavy snow of the season.

Merckxie will sometimes show off her belly spots. #cats #lynxpoint

I bought this Hofner Thin President as a husk from a Chinese liquidator on Reverb for $140 USD. I built it up on the cheap except that I put SD Seth Lover pickups in it. I'm very pleased with the result, tone and playability are really nice for the investment. It's my only semi hollowbody. #guitar

With all the talk about Les Paul copies since Trump is selling one, here's an example an Edwards Les Paul with an "open book" headstock from the early 2000's. It was OK because it was originally sold into the Japanese market and not US. I bought it from a Japanese seller on eBay. The Gibson is real.

Maddie is chill, while Merckxie does everything the hard way. It's hard to tell the two sister cats are from the same litter.#lynxpoint #cats
