Well…after doing an indoor ride this morning and making lunch, I decided to drag the bike up the stairs and go out to see if I was close on the adjustments…and I was but the thing about it is the shifter and the rest of the parts are so worn out that I’ll never get it better than it is now…which is okay…at least I have downshifts again and the front shifter works so I can ride it without it being a pain in the ass…so I went out for a 15 miler and it was good…I like the new rear tire and the bike looks normal again…so I’m going to have to order the rebuild parts to have them here when the chain starts skipping soon…the 7th gear teeth are no longer square as they should be but have worn down into points and the fronts have done the same thing so that means they don’t have much life left in them…I just hope they last until outdoor riding is over for the year…30 days or so and that means another 900 miles so I’m not sure it will make it…we’ll see…I did get my pump sprayer out and sprayed the weeds that are taking over the yard but still have 3/4ths of it to do before the snows start…let the weeds grow last year and when the snow melted they had taken over the whole yard so I hope this works…okay, time to settle in for the night…I just discovered that Jeffrey Deaver, who does the “Reacher” books had another of his characters “Lincoln Ryme” turned into a tv show and I’ll start the night watching that on plex…
