Seems like there's plenty to be miserable about lately. Everybody has their load to bear, some worse than others. No money, work stinks, family issues, health issues, miserable weather or just generally unappreciated etc etc.... But for me anyway, in the shop tinkering on some part or other.... even if you're too broke to actually build anything substantial, there's always something to clean or repair or maybe a leak to fix...whatever... and for an hour or so all is right with the world. It's cheap therapy and healthier than booze, drugs or being a couch potato. Sometimes I swear I might go mad without it...
I wish I could better develop this attitude. With ten bikes to maintain and one full blown project (still) waiting, it can seem a little overwhelming at times. My favorite task is to run fuel through the bikes to keep it fresh
Tonight I'll wash the two track bikes from a rainy Monday at Summit Point. Tomorrow the forks and shock for my Husky return from the suspension guy with new springs and valving. Hoping to race it this Sunday up in NY. Meanwhile, the seat cover for the H1, which I bought
last year, sits there right on top of the bike. If it had fingers they would be pointing at me . . .
