Any advice on where I can get a chain guard for this drivetrain? My teen keeps getting her pants destroyed chain grease. Yeah she could wear a cuff but it would be much better to improve the setup. #BikeTooter #bikenite

I had a rec league hockey game this afternoon and the rest of the fam was busy so I brought my 7 y/o. He watched for a while from the stands, then played the 1999 PC classic Heroes of Might and Magic 3 on a laptop.
Feels great to be able to bring him along while I do a thing for myself!

And you can use the other test from the 2-pack to find out your kiddo is infected with flu B. Apparently the fact that I had flu A last week does not give me immunity to his flu. Cool.

I'm not enjoying having the flu, but FYI there's now a 3-in-1 at-home test that's like a COVID test but it tests for Flu A, Flu B, and COVID.
That was a chill way to confirm I have Flu A and get my doctor to prescribe Tamiflu ASAP.
