Well…damn, running late again today but I did accomplish a bunch of stuff so I guess that’s the reason….I finally got the old bike back together and almost adjusted so I can ride it tomorrow…spent hours on it this afternoon and crushed my index finger on my left hand trying to remove the chain when I realized I threaded it wrong…so it hurts like crazy to type this….I did get to the tomato soup this morning after I decided that it was way too windy to go out..got to the flat along Muskegon lake and could barely make any headway all the way down in 5th on the rear cassette and that is just too brutal for me and, with the worn out driveline on the new bike, I can’t put any pressure on the pedals without it skipping and that hurts when it does…I think I’ll probably order the parts for the grey bike this week since I now know how to change everything and it shouldn’t take me more than an hour to renew the whole thing…and if I order the same parts that are on it, I won’t have to do any adjusting like the black bike…I do need new brake pads for the black bike, too, since they have hardened up and don’t really stop the bike too well…so, I promise I’ll get to a political one maybe later today or early tomorrow…just need to take a little bit of a rest….more later…
