Not a long post today but instead a few tidbits.

Dauset was excellent as I had hoped it would be. It was nice to get back out there again. Neither me nor the bike broke so there'll be a return trip planned for this Thursday.

My physics students just trainwrecked their first test. I keep thinking that they'll do better, that something I can do as an instructor will help but every fall it's like this. Half the class failed the exam badly and it looks like several of them plan to stay in the course. I was really hoping this year it would be different. Very big letdown.

Oh well, I have dates planned with the lovely wife of of different types over the next couple of days so I have those to very much look forward to. Also, I found out that there will be a state TT championship this year so maybe I can get in some kind of shape to be ready in a couple of weeks. I'm waiting for rim strips to come in so I can get my new wheels on the TT bike and start testing things out.

Soon.
