Other interesting things I am doing - watching bus travel vlogs

Wheels of Happiness

Last night and today, I watched two bus blogs:   one Manila to Bordeos Polillo Quezon, and the other Manial to Zamboanga city.   The latter took 54 hours to complete and cost P5,000+ that crossed 9 provinces and crossed three bodies of water on ferries/roro.

This enabled me to revisit places I biked to  and then saw the roads that other went thru in their Negros cross country loop.

What do I do most of the time being semi retired?

Prepped the rim brake Pinarello - replaced the Ergo shifter and the crank c/o Jess Verches and VM

Wheels of Happiness

The source of my pride the RB was in bad shape in 2026 and had difficulty in sourcing the parts and the budget

     1.  The ergo shifters.   The right side had torn  hood, the left had broken padel and therefore effectively the bike was 1x

     2.   The crank, a 52 -36 had shark teeth all ready.  I need a crank.   The 52 -36 was replaced by 50 -34,  I found out that both combination had same bcd 110

Fortunately for VM who maintains inventory of parts, he supplied me, no payment first (very expensive) and had Jess Verchez install this for free.  Now the bike has bn parts and look rejuvenate -  like brand new.  Thank you VM and Jess
