Yeah, I like to eat too. Can't seem to stay away from anything with carbs. Damn rice, noodles, bread, potato all are so good. Isn't there's a 12 step program on eating? I gained 12 lbs during covid from eating pizza and such junks because kids like it for lunch and I was aound. I put a stop to that a couple months ago, started riding again. Lost 10 lbs and now, I can't seem to loose more. I know, its my eating, still. Rode up 1800' of ball busting hills today trying to justify ribs my wife cooked up for dinner. Another, 10 lbs, I am good to go and get up those damn hills a little faster. My fighting weight was 145 lbs. 165 now, so another 10, I am a happy camper. Its going to take a lot of discipline to keep my hand out of the cookie jar.
I've always worked on bikes and built wheels in my spare time. I started around 14 or 15 so close to 40 years now. At one point I was brazing frames for a local builder. This was before I joined the Army at 20... I lost my job because of Covid almost two years ago so I decided to retire. Working on bikes & building wheels helps me stay busy but I don't make any real money doing it.

On weight: I like food so I have to keep riding EVERY DAY if you know what I mean.
