Thinking About Some Blog Stuff

 A commenter late in December triggered a few thoughts concerning this blog when they said something to the effect that "You've written on this and other similar subjects on the blog here before". 

That got me to thinking. With this blog nearly at 7000 posts (!!!) there are a lot of subjects that I've written about already and which my commentary for is still relevant. In other words, I am at risk of repeating myself daily here to a much higher degree than ever. 

I've been a little diligent in some areas by compiling series or subjects into their own pages. (Trans Iowa Stories, Drop Bar Articles) That said, more might need to be done there to make referencing for me and others a bit easier to do. 

I may be doing some house-cleaning in along those lines this year. But since the "GTDRI Stories" is winding up soon, (and should be getting its own page as well), I thought a Sunday series based on topics might be good, and it would be a post with a lot of links and serve as a kind of portal to those similar posts done in the past. I could just tell you to search a term in the search box (upper left corner by the Blogger icon), but who is going to do that? No one.... 

I also have to do a back-up of this entire blog on a hard drive or to the "cloud", but I could use some advice on that, so if any of you have suggestions, just hit me up in the comments or at g.ted.productions@gmail.com.

Nearing the start of the 20th year of blogging here in May, so I wanted to tidy things up around here. It would be a shame to have all this go "poof!" and not have it backed up anywhere easily accessible. 

Any other comments on these subjects? Let me know.....

Garage Sale:

Just thought I'd post a few things that will be going up on the Garage Sale Page soon. If you are interested in any of the following items, this is your early-bird notice before I go and post these on the page and elsewhere for sale. 

This will mostly be wheels. I have a pair of carbon Irwin GX 35 650B carbon wheels (one shown in the image here), a pair of Easton EA70 AX aluminum 700c wheels, a pair of HED Eroica (Now called Emporia) wheels in 700c, and a pair of WTB Proterra wheels in 700c. E-mail me at g.ted.productions@gmail.com for prices. They will be very good deals. Shipping to lower 48 only will be extra. Prefer PayPal payment unless you are local.  

I am also considering strongly selling my Blackborow DS as shown here. (Yes, the pogies would be included) This would be best sold locally,as shipping this would be prohibitively expensive. 

It's been upgraded where it matters as far as I was concerned. I only swapped out the handle v=bar for a Carbon Jones H Bar and the seat post is a Thomson. Otherwise I have only had to install a new chain, (fresh, zero miles on it) and that's it. 

This won't be cheap, but I will sell it for a reasonable price. Again, I'm not interested in shipping it. I'll hang on to it rather than do that at this point, but someone that will ride it more than I do should have this bike. 

That's about all for now. Thanks for reading G-Ted Productions!
