Keto Chow arrived

I'm looking forward to my little experiment. My fridge is looking very sparse; a few fermented food cultures, a big jug of water, and a few other odds and ends will remain. There are a couple mushrooms and a few eggs, and a couple chicken thighs. Those will be eaten tomorrow (well, today; Saturday). I'm hoping to get another walk in tomorrow carrying my bike. Sunday will be a fasting day. Together, those two days should either put me in or close to ketosis. Sunday will probably involves me mixing up three meals of keto chow; I've got half a dozen sample packs of various flavors, as well as a week's worth each of chocolate and mocha. I'll be experimenting with cream, butter, and coconut oil as my primary fats. Cream is currently at the bottom of the pile; I can;t get it in easily recyclable packaging, it (like butter) demands refrigeration, and it seems to have the most volume per calorie. Butter is more compact, and obviously delicious, but still demands refrigeration. Coconut oil is tasty, but in a more specific way than butter; it goes with fewer things. In theory, if I work through a few odd condiments in my fridge (or just suck it up and give/throw them away), I could get to the point that all that's ever in it are a jug of water and 1-3 nalgene of keto chow.

Hmmmmm.

I also disassembled the old steel wheel for my folding bike today. I retrieved the 3-speed sturmey-archer AW internally geared hub from it, and ditched the resulting scrap (rim and spokes) in the recycling. The hub responded well to a first wipedown. The goal now is to disassemble is, give it a good deep cleaning and lubrication, and replace any broken or worn parts. Then it can go to the local bike shop to be built into a new wheel, one with an aluminum rim and proper brass spoke nipples. I'm shopping around for a similar hub (3 speed AW, 36 hole, etc.). I used to own a truck, and I imagined a day when I would own two transmissions for it. I could swap them out when the one in the truck needed it, then rebuild the old one into a replacement. I don't own a truck any more; but I can see myself owning two "transmissions" for my bike, and swapping them out as need demands.
