Monday, January 2, 2023 -- Rose Parade - Part 8














Repaired the broken front derailleur shifter cable

Replaced the cable housing also.
There's an adjuster inline to change the tension on the cable as it stretches with use.
Very handy feature.

Corrosion on the adjuster.
Cleaned and lubed it before reassembly.

Made new sections of cable housing to replace the two exiting ones.
The longer housing is damaged.
The outer plastic is cracked/broken and the end ferrules are dirty/stuck.

Installed the new cable housing, cable and adjusted the front derailleur to work properly.

Thanksgiving Holiday, 2022 -- Fairbanks Alaska -- Part 31 & Last - Sunday, 11/27 - Leaving Fairbanks

First flight is from Fairbanks to Anchorage.
Flew by Denali on the other side of the plane.
Took a couple of pictures from afar.


Coming in for a landing in Anchorage.




Next leg is Anchorage to Seattle.
Then Seattle to LAX.
Two stops.

Amazingly, all three flights were on time (some a bit early arriving).
We had rolling bags that we carried on and had no issues with overhead storage on all 3 flights.

Took a taxi to LAX and back.
Both worked out well.
Since we live pretty close to LAX, the taxi rides are very reasonable.
It's actually much cheaper and more convenient that using Uber/Lyft.
