Maxxis total failure at mile 23 outbound. Only had to walk back 10 miles to catch a bus. New tires already set to be delivered tomorrow at Outdoor Adventures in LC. They survived a whole 1,000 miles. instagram.com/p/B1uZ0gTnnP1/…

I use YouTube instructional videos all the time. I’ve used them to fix my overly complicated faucets and also to learn how to properly cook sliders (steamed on a bed of onions NATCH). I’ve used instructional vids to learn the rudiments of blacksmithing, dovetail joints... tons!

Personal goals: when Google Fit suggests that your 13 mile run wasn't good enough and you should lower your expectations. The world is done if 13 mile runs are not enough to be fit.

Important: advanced faculty need to remember students do not arrive knowing how to write papers, do lab work, or understand implicit field conventions. They arrive excited to *learn* these things. We must not suffer genesis amnesia about how long it takes to learn these habits.
