Dear Saugus, MA: You are ON NOTICE for the lack of maintenance to the Northern Strand Trail. It's been unplowed but walked on, so it's now nobbled ice. You cannot claim it is unused, as evidence exists of it _having been walked on_. My commute home by bike was made very difficult by this.

Also, Apple Maps? You’re also on notice for not having a way to say "Not this road, not right now, no.” Literally every route I tried took me back to the Northern Strand.

Repair stand parts:

- 1 x 90° Elbow
- 2 x Tee
- 2 x End Cap
- 2 x Three Way
- 4 x Close Nipples
- 1 x Union
- 2 x 60" sections, threaded
- 2 x 24" sections, threaded
- 2 x 10" sections, threaded

Building stuff out of black pipe is hella fun, and I wish it was cheaper. Of course now that means I'm looking at how much threading tools and raw pipe cost.

Today’s hate of the fare gates at north station: you can’t tell if your train has gone already from the side gates. If you go around to the front you might miss it. If you just pay and enter, you activated a ticket for a train that has gone.
