Yup.

You need a more understanding doctor. Last time I
had to endure an abcessed eye tooth over a weekend,
I got a scrip for phenophen. The following Monday,
the dentist didn't even have to administer any
anesthetic for the root canal. Screw mamby-pamby
stuff like vicoden (or outdated vico-done.)

Anyhow, my condolences for your pain. I know what
you're going through. It's a miserable son of a bitch
to have to endure it over a weekend.

better days,
Tom

The other day I noticed a guy without a switch on his set-up. (Nexus
hub) He didn't have one and said he just runs the headlamp all the
time. Blinky in back and a 3W krypton bulb in an old Union lamp.

Sometimes when I think my headlamp is on and it's not, it usually
means the tires need air.

Drag just isn't a biggie.
