Good Morning!!!! 39F @ 5:15AM. A mix of clouds and sun during the morning will give way to cloudy skies this afternoon. High 49F. Winds light and variable.
The pressures of gift giving and getting ready for family events and interactions seem to increase with every year, or maybe I just don't deal as well with them as in the past? From the way people drive, behave in stores, and especially online, it's pretty clear I'm not the only one, and most have it worse. Relax, count to ten, chill, count your blessings, focus on perspective, hopefully everyone gets through to the new year and things get back to normal sooner rather than later.
After all the help you've been to so many of us in the past, Bird, it's a pleasure to be able to return the favor!
Brake job on the touring bike did the trick, and it stops as well as ever without screaming like a banshee now. Cranked very slowly when I tried to start it, though, and I bet the battery fails the load test I'll do later today. It's the one I bought to put into one of the bikes I have for sale, only to have the buyer back out of the deal, and it's probably a victim of being left on a Battery Tender too long. My experience with the BT is that once a month for a day or so is best, as their advertised claims don't seem to ring true. Which is why my original plan was to get down to one battery that worked in both of the bikes I ride the most, and just move it back and forth every spring and fall when it's time to put one to sleep and wake the other.
Transmission arrived safely at the rebuilders yesterday, not bad for UPS ground service. Should know later today if anything exceptional needs replacing.
Talk about a stressful job. Take a minute and give thanks for all those super busy people in the Post Office, FedEx, UPS, and whoever else has the job of getting gifts and important shipments to their destinations on time and unharmed. I can't imagine driving a huge delivery truck in big city traffic for a living. Those folks must have a special kind of patience and calm!
TGIF gang!:drink:
in the toy room went out yesterday. Vizio E471LVE. The amber light on the front will no longer change colors and it doesn’t even look like it’s trying to come on. Oldest is upset. So we’ve been letting him watch in our bedroom. He lives for 2 things. Momma and tv. The rest of the time he’s just going through the motions. Most of his fits lately I believe is separation anxiety from his mom. Yesterday I took both boys to dads house and because we left Momma at home he cried halfway there. But once there he was fine. First thing he does of a morning is search the house for momma. If she’s not here he will have a melt down.
