<LOL> Approval?   As if I need anyone's approval to do what I do.

I always have to wonder what makes Krygowski watch for, and comment on
things that others do that have absolutely no tangible affect on him. 

It's kind of neat that I can so easily trigger him by simply
mentioning that I do something that he already knows that I do.

For instance:

I rode 50 miles on my Catrike today on an almost totally flat bike
trail after hauling it in my truck five miles to where the trail
starts. I didn't take any side trips back and forth on side trails
like I sometimes do, but I did use my thumb activated trigger shifters
and my brakes were set so that a full pull all the way to the grips
would not lock up the wheels at speeds above about 5 MPH. I probably
listened to music that he doesn't approve of and my Garmin bike
computer recorded my speed and cadence, second by second GPS location,
and my heart rate it received from my Garmin watch. 

I love my electronics. I answered two phone calls with my bone
conduction headset on my ride today.

I wonder how much I triggered Krygowski's narcissism with all that.
