New Batteries

Sweeeeeet...

CVS first just had the 2016... then the other side of the display buried under a 2016 was a bunch of 2032s...

hmmm $4.29 each... damn

then...

only where my daughters would see (not even KL is short enough for this product placement) down at my toes... were the 2032 two packs...

$5.99

some "value pack"

new batt in there and HOLY SHIT whadda difference! Display is bright, buttons are responsive...

but riding in from the drop off when it shut down i got to thinking... maybe since i'm carrying around all this juice for the lights and shit, maybe i can just hardwire the sumbitch into the power of massive D cell batteries... mmmm D cell massiveness... and save the precious little cells for racing and what not...

Rode down and back to the other facility - got a good sprint in from the final stop light - damn cars ain't going fast enough - i guess a 25mph limit and traveling at 30 is fast enough for them... or slow enough that i have to put the damn brakes on...
11
Heading down i only tapped into the barely over 1000 watt range (oops) 11.4watts/kg and probably sustained closer to 4-600 oops i mean 4.5-6.8 w/kg range...

HR was wild - might be the post lunch bit or the pint of Choco milk i downed (couldn't just buy batteries... had ta get some choco milk goodness at CVS)...

And so i was a jittery trying to delicately replace a set of filters and mirrors on the scope... got that done... headed back up and ripped it the heck up the hill - did it in the 38x21 blew it solid to Benefit coming up College and then made it about 1/2 up before my body cried "Uncle" maybe racing myself with a quart of pasta in my belly ain't a good idea....

anyway - peak power was up to 14.2 watts/kg too bug eyed to notice what it was reading...

might check in a while...

respect and don't underestimate the power of fresh batteries!!!
