Well…I really don’t understand people who think setting the clocks back an hour gives you another hour of sleep…I just laid there after my internal clock said it was time to get up and I was out of bed by 4:30…which would be 5:30 and that would be okay but 4:30? Not so much…oh, well…when putting in the new door gaskets, I noticed that the latch on the back door is broken so I’ll need to go to depot to see if I can just get the part I need and not replace the entire lockset since that would mean re-keying it…but I’m not working on that today…the deadbolt keeps it closed for now so no rush…the temp outside is in that grey area where I’m not really sure how to dress at 49 degrees…will probably overdress and then adjust it for the 2nd ride…the bike has been working great since I worked on it but I need to start thinking about replacing the driveline again with 16,000 miles on the parts on it now and I normally only get 12-13K…it has started to skip sometimes and I need it not to when I’m doing the long uphills that I have to really push on…so I think I’ll put the new parts on the grey bike instead of the black one and then think about a complete rebuild of the black one…really hope the parts hold out until I put the bike downstairs for the winter and I can take my time rebuilding it….okay, I need to toast a bagel and get another cup of coffee and then get on the bike…more later…
