Usyk, a symbol for his country's resistance to invaders.

Wheels of Happiness  

Olessandr Usyk could really be an inspiration for his country.  An epitome of how his countrymen fight their invaders.  Relentless, patient, accurate pinpointed attack   Watching the enemy for weakness, and then attacking the weak point:   the abdomen, the lack of defense.   There is also a careful and calculated move to avoid being hurt and fending off the opponent attack.   Magnificent  

We watch high level boxing being practiced by Usyk.  We have not seen such technical boxxing with US boxer and other division

He employs Soviet style of boxing  -  keeping distance avoiding being hurt

It is nice to see the ref, protect Huck from further damange from Usyk onslaught

Not all repair jobs are perfect - you have to redo this and you must be patient

Wheels of Happiness

We have experienced that even your best shops and mechanics foul up in the jobs you ordered.  There could be many causes:   wrong part, wrong diagnosis, the parts were reinstalled properly, too tight or too loose tightening.  A part was missed.

You must be patient and humble enough to admit the mistake was made and you have to redo the job.

This happened in my recent attempt to regrease the bearings of the headset.  I am on my third back job.

The goal at the start was to regrease the headset bearings and make it smoother.  I soaked the cage, and the individual bearings.   Cleaned each and every bearing.

However actual use of the bike showed the steering to be binding and abnormal.   I found out one ring at the bottom was missed out    The steering again was not 100%

So a washer was missed at the top bearing, and another one at the bottom.    So I added the missing part, and the binding disappeared.  However, I have not tried yet on actual ride.   

Hmmm that is what you call experience.   And maturity.  Surely, this will not happen again.
