Geez, with the bike blog and with my free time being tied up in bikes right now, I’ve been neglecting this blog. Sorry. Go on over to NBBB for more on Ikea bikes.
But I won’t do something jerky like make that my “this weekend I spent hours fixing bikes” blog. That’s this one! My pal needed work done on his front derailer (Sheldon’s spelling), and Mrs. P. needed both of hers attended to. Thing is, I forgot about the moving sun where I was working, and I got a bit of a sunburn. I’ve gotten a few of those this year. That’s not going to help the fact that I already look older than I am and have reached the age where that’s not good news anymore, just news.
But fixing things is always fun, and when you’re helping people to keep biking, that’s awesome, too. Sunburn be damned. A liter of water, an energy coffee drink dealy and Chinese food, and I was ready to face the world.
Which I did that evening, and Mr. Dan and I blasted all over North Baltimore, in search of a milestone on his new cyclometer. We celebrated with cold drinks and chocolate, Mr. Dan’s treat.
I recently watched all six Star Wars films, too, in chronological order. That is, in the order of The Force, not The Box Office. Mrs. P. had never seen them, and I tried to keep my mouth shut. I really did. I hate how they changed the song at the end of Return of the Jedi, one of the most [musically] triumphant movie endings ever. The other CGI stuff, I don’t know. Whatever. I’m pissed about that song!
Where are all these frikkin storms?
Damn.
