Here is what a CTEK Charger looks like at stage 8 since I imagine most people wouldn't bother to leave it plugged in for that long. Battery holding at 13.06V on the "float" Stage 8. This particular battery, though new, discharged to ~2.5V sitting for a couple of months connected in a car.

Is this a Preying Mantis? Or a grasshopper, maybe, if a Mantis is larger. Guy just flew in the window 15 minutes before the end of work... he was placed in a cup and let back outside. Good omen, just like a ladybug.

Looks like some form of Katydid to me.

Round 2 of my dad's Mercury.

Maybe I changed the cabin air filter too soon?

I seriously need to ride that! Is that a 53 chainring. I100% agree with statement.

Campy Record 10-speed with 53x39 and 12-27 cassette. 180mm carbon cranks (and they're hollow!). I'm 6'5" and require custom frame sets.

Here's two of my three bikes. They are normally kept inside my home office but in this picture they are locked up in the garage with cables because we were going out of town for a few days.

The red bike, a fillet brazed Saso (one of maybe 200 ever made), has over 35,000 miles on the frame. Original paint too (leaded Dupont Imron). I lick my bikes off after riding them.

Yep! Katydid. Probably a Green Leaf Katydid.

If there was just onet it was a grasshopper. If there were 50 million more outside the window they were locusts. Lucky you.

Where are the females?

Where are the females?

There was one female surfer off to herself when we first got there, but she left before I started taking pictures.

At least she didn't leave as soon as you started taking pictures!

All those young men and she left?
Strange.

The water may have been cold and she lost interest.

While the body looks like the grasshoppers we have around here I've never seen one with a pointed nose.

I've also never seen my 4.3 Ctek on step 8, thanks, at least I know it's possible.

Finally got around to repainting the master bath. Wife has only been asking me to do it for a 18 months now.

No probably not.
The Atlantic is warm as opposed to the arctic waters of the Pacific.

Picasso would have loved your paint job.

Quoted for truth.

Breakfast in cast iron. Home growed yukon golds and two over very gently. A leetle German flavored salt and that was it.

Good on you for helping your Dad out.

He was in town last weekend and was panicking that his brakes were grinding and it had been 12k miles since his last oil change. I told him to take my Camry home and we’d work on his car next weekend. But I ordered a bunch of stuff on Rock Auto and my brother is helping me fix it up this week so when he comes back into town it’ll be ready. Battery is 4 years old, working fine but I’m replacing it too.
