–Saw some bubbles in the pool this afternoon; bumped up the speed of the booster pump again.
–Found I already had an iSesamo tool, so opened up the iPod, making just the tiniest nick in the glass. Pulled the battery out (which gained nothing charging overnight); eagerly awaiting new battery. The “Pop” EQ on that player is (as I vaguely recall from previous ones) is the best mp3 music I’ll ever hear.
–Played with seats/seatposts a little, and discovered a standards disaster. The InnerLight tube is 30mm but was shimmed down to 27, while most of my seatposts are 27.2. Finally got the Selle Regal on the Specialized with the Thomson Masterpiece post, and the Selle Rolls on the Innerlight with the drastically cut-down Thomson Elite post. Took a short Canal ride on the InnerLight (with the OEM Specialized saddle). There was a tense moment coming back up the rise from trail to Gold Country, but I did NOT have to get off. Good exercise.
Rolex 5512 came in a little early. Great on the timegrapher, some dots on the dial, case seems good. Caseback says IV 67. The 11-link 93150 bracelet dating from 1983 was a tad tight, so swapped in a later 93150 in better shape and stole a link from the one on the new watch. 12 links are good; I used to think 11 would work. Looking for an age-appropriate rivet bracelet.
–Left hearing aid battery went out around 5 PM.
