It's been raining steady here, since last Tuesday afternoon (when I deigned to try to mow the back
lawn). Today, the rain finally stopped.
In the meantime, I've been working on that filthy foundling hybrid I obtained. Overhauled every
bearing --- even in the cheap-o rubber pedals. Nothing better to do (except tune-up the main bike,
which I've been putting off for a little too long.)
I've been riding around on parts runs today. Wow, the cyclists abound everywhere! The sun finally
shines, and it's like the cork's been pulled of a shaken-up champagne bottle.
I don't fear riding in the rain. But when it rains *forever*, the constant post-ride bike
maintenance gets to be a total drag.
Y'know that sigh one gives while settling into a well-deserved, hot bath?
Aaahhhhhhhh.
I premonitorily hear riders all over town giving that sigh.
The weather might even give me half a fair chance of finishing the lawn-mowing job. But I think I'd
rather ride around a bit.
Aaahhhhhhh .... vitamin D .....
Cheerz, Tom
