What to do next weekEneco Tour is kicking off on Monday, 19 September and ends on Sunday, 25 September. I am going to get there and watch at least one of the stages.
For some strange reasons (maybe because my job is really a menial and trifle one), I don't get to know the work schedule until the last minute. I prefer the stage on Friday, 23rd because 1) the venue of the stage is closer to me, 2) it is a TTT stage so that I don't miss a thing even though I happen to be sleepy 3) and also it begins rather later in the afternoon so that I have extra time to get there by car.
According to the time schedule, the course is "free" (of general traffic, of vehicles) between 12:00 and 13:30. Most of the teams try to do the practice round during this time.
It turned out that I had a day free on Wednesday. On Wednesday, 21 the stage is held near Brugge (or Bruges), Belgium. It is a bit far and
I noticed1) Mr. Greg Lemond's site (lemond.cc) has been put under renovation. Although I have no immediate plans of getting his Washoo bikes (not because I don't want one but simply because I don't have the luxury to buy one), I have been a rather regular visitor of this site.
The reason for this renovation seems to be the reorganization of his company. It seems that his company will put more emphasis on the carbon composite business rather than simply selling bikes carrying his name.
2) My bank account is running (at all time) low (hahaha).
3) Garmin's map (for use on their GPS devices and on Macs/PCs) has been updated (to 2017.20). I intend to update it on my MacBook Pro for use on Garmin BaseCamp but don't intend to update it on my nüvi.
4) TomTom's map (for use on iOS devices) has been updated. I have updated it on my iPhone 4 (iOS 7). It won't be too long before iOS 7 support is discontinued.
What happened to . . . ?1) Ashton Instruments (www.ashtoninstruments.com)
I had once hoped to get one of these and signed up for the e-mail updates. I have never once received one. The site has been there for more than three years (I guess) but no new news. I just wonder.
At that time I signed up for the update e-mail service, there were not so many inexpensive power meters on the market. Now the market is literally (actually, figuratively) flooded with them. I just wonder if they (Ashton Instruments) are still serious about bringing the products to the market.
I want a skateboard nowI don't know why but I want a skateboard. I will get one soon. If I am not too bad at skateboarding, I will eventually get one with an electric motor built in.

スケードボードなんか知らないけど、スケードボードが欲しい。乗りたい。ちょっとお金を出すと最近は電動式のスケートボードも買える。価格もこなれてる。中国製（製造は中国なのは当然で、販売会社がどこにあるかだけの違い）の安いものだと、200ドル台からある。
取り敢えず、普通のタイプで安い奴を買って、練習してみよう。トリック（飛んだり、フリップしたり）をするのが目的じゃない。道路の歩道で人とデコボコを避けながら乗ることができるかが重要。快適に乗ることができたら、電動式のものを買って、通勤に使うのはどうだろうかと考えてる。
この年で、スケードボード始めますか？と自問してみたが、年は関係無い。次の休みに最寄り（国境を越えてベルギーに行かなくてはならないが）のデカスロン（安いスポーツ用品店）に行ってみよう。
エネコツアーエネコツアーが始まる。行けるかどうか分からない。今年は行けないかな。
