CIRCLE WITH A DOT

@SRLevine @helenclayton Lots of good answers here already that I'll have to read in more detail later, but yes - I made fenders with integrated skirt guards this winter out of old plastic campaign signs.

Between those and the low frame of my bike, I can ride with no problem in skirts and dresses that fall to mid-calf, even if they have a lot of fullness to them. I rarely wear anything longer than that, but when I do I'll usually tie a knot in the fabric or gather it up with a hair scrunchie to ensure that it doesn't get into the chain.

I don't have a photo handy at the moment; sorry!

Trying to remember all the cursed notation from pit orchestra scores for musical theater but it's been too long. I think I scanned one back in the day, but I don't know if I still have the file somewhere.

There was some fun stuff, though... edge-cases of DS al Coda and repeat usage. Vamp ad lib, I think, while waiting for cues from actors? We used to joke about vamp ad nauseam and vamp ad infinitum.

First attempt at making a cornet mouthpiece adapter for the GVS Elipse is turning out pretty rough, and I'm not sure how to improve it. I molded this in place in the Elipse, and the silicone sealant just didn't settle into place well enough. Also, some of it didn't set even after 12+ hours. Anyone have tips on DIY silicone molding?

If I could readily acquire a spare valve hole plug (also pictured) I'd just drill a hole in it and form a seal around the mouthpiece with silicone, but I haven't found anywhere that sells just the plugs.

@Primavera @SRLevine Yeah, I've had the same sorts of issues with stainless bolts. But they're preferred for the majority of applications on bicycles because rust is more of a problem. And I suppose it's one (albeit not the only) reason a lot of bolts on bicycles have torque specs, even if most people get away with tightening by feel.

@SRLevine @Primavera Yeah, I'd be extremely surprised if that bolt was anything other than stainless steel. Not entirely implausible for it to have sheared, but I'd expect it to be a rare occurrence.

@SRLevine Yikes! That is not a bolt that I would expect to fail.
