Well….that’s a new record…didn’t get out of bed until 7:10…after getting up for the first time at 3:14 that is…but, I feel pretty good so I’ll take it….and I even slept okay so we’ll see how the day pans out…didn’t get a lot done yesterday but the bike ride and ordering the new front sprocket for the bike….I am a little disappointed that both the front and rear sprocket sets wore out at 8,000 miles when the first set on the last bike lasted over 10,000 miles but the chromed rear set I have on it now doesn’t show a lot of wear even at…hmmmm…not sure how many miles but I know I had them on the last bike for at least two years and maybe 3….the new front only cost 20 bucks and should be here next week so that will put the bike back to not skipping again….now, I just need to figure out why the shifter sticks and I’ll be happy…or, as happy as I can be…I am looking forward to cooking a big t-day meal and eating a bunch of turkey then making turkey soup again, but that will be next week….think I’m going to use my standard brine and add a little sage this year when I butter the skin before cooking….not much to do today…it’s pool day! It will be nice to get out of here for a while but I need to wash the car this morning since the glass is pretty dirty….and it is going to be warm enough to do it in the driveway this morning before the bike ride…and I got my November top down run in yesterday and that was good with the cold that is coming….more later….
