Got it done, though. That foam situation got stuck in the green hole (pressure balancing valve) was blocked).
Also found out that there was a slow leak behind the wall, so new PBV is on order. #OldHouseShit.

Nice.
I have a Ship John x Dehen 1920 'Hopkins' coat that I'm eager to break-in this Fall/Winter. Ship John is such a neat company and their products are top notch.

... got a notification from pull-a-part that an IS300 had hit the lot, so went there immediately since they're open Sundays now.
Ended up meeting another Sportcross owner/former coworker LOL. Just two guys trying to keep these rust buckets afloat.

Absolutely adore these Toyota T100’s (Tundra predecessor). This one’s been put to work but it’ll probably go another 100k with no issues 😂

If I end up doing this, I think I'll try and go full metal and do what I'd have loved to see AE and Specialized do, and add a BOA system instead of laces.

I mean, C'mon. The Allen Edmonds 'Strand' mated to a carbon Specialized sole?!?!?
There is ALOT of hate for this setup, but I absolutely adore it lmao. It's an incredibly niche setup, and a deep dive into two very dedicated subcultures. Sign me up.

SPD-SL (L) cleats are mostly used for road bikes, and aren't useful for walking around when you're off the bike. Shimano sells covers for the cleats.
SPD (R) cleats tend to be used for commute, mountain bike, or gravel setups. You can walk around without damaging your cleats, within reason.

I myself tend to stay out of the way as much as possible - if there’s a bike lane, I’m in it.
I was on my way back to the Westside where I stopped at this light, in the green bike spot. A Corolla (with a missing front bumper) pulled up directly behind me, covering the X walk at that

Was scrolling FB marketplace and found the calfskin version of my favorite loafers for $20, lol. Florsheim Yumas! A Venetian loafer. My shell cordovan Yumas are 30 years old and these will help keep some mileage off them for awhile.

Very proud of myself with progress with the (IS300) Sportcross. Just completely replaced the entire rear subframe + components, including upgrading to polyurethane bushings. Also raised it back up to stock height.
