Just under 450 miles today and over 6000ft elevation gain. Dodged one forest fire and hit triple digits a few times.

Tomorrow I get to figure out what's rattling.

For the record, what's rattling is my chain. Apparently it's done. D-U-N! The master link is incredibly wobbly and won't seat properly on the (rear) sprocket and every time the wheel turns there's a loud mechanical ratcheting noise.

I have a call into a local guy to see what he's going to charge me for a new chain/sprocket install. Hopefully it's not much.

The biggest problem is, I went out and tried to adjust the tension on the chain earlier, because it was too loose, and the chink/kink in the chain there at the master link is affecting the chain's movement for measuring. If the master link is anywhere but the rear of the rear sprocket it makes the chain too tight when the wheel turns. If the master link is at the rear of the read sprocket and it's adjusted to the [roper measurement then the chain is borderline too loose when it's everywhere else. Either way, it still makes that gods-awful noise whenever the chain goes around and around.

No bueno. That's why I was looking online for chains and sprockets in that other post. Looking to see if they can be found cheaper because I'm poor.

So, I asked Andrew Tamm, who filled my Stream with a hundred (sarcasm there) animated gifs and cat pictures to remove me from whatever Circle he has me in where he posts the animated gifs and cat pictures. It was either that or unfollow him and I didn't see any reason to unfollow him. Me asking https://plus.google.com/112885755521259735422/posts/78dwnvvgh4p <==edited to add the correct link Then he plusses me onto Public posts of animated cat gifs : https://plus.google.com/u/0/112885755521259735422/posts/EuuR1tnU3vJ https://plus.google.com/u/0/112885755521259735422/posts/8r6Grcm2Jpj https://plus.google.com/u/0/112885755521259735422/posts/74PgSu6iL2s Then one of his friends (or Circlers) starts plussing me into posts of animated cat gifs : https://plus.google.com/u/0/107120198886093172821/posts/gRW9JhWLs5T Don't get me wrong, I'm all about sarcasm and messing with people, but this seems sort of childish to me.

I'm shutting down Google+ for the night and quite possibly for the weekend. Why? This stupid #gifwars thing people are so proud of. This Adam Black guy said he doesn't like gifs and now everyone is mass trolling him. Having been mass trolled like this I can relate to him easily enough. Have an opinion and the collective might of Google+'s lower class denizens jump on a bandwagon. I just saw a post where someone wanted to jump on board and had to get clarification she was tagging the proper Adam Black. She wasn't even connected to him ! Nor was she a part of the original discussion. She just wanted to follow the herd. When I called her out of it she claimed, "one gif doesn't make a troll." Perhaps not, but she's contributing to a larger troll effort. One straw doesn't break the camel's back, but thousands will. So, tonight, Google+ disgusts me. It probably will tomorrow as well. And possibly Sunday. I gave up Google+ for two months this spring
