Finally got my headset cups pressed in by my buddy Tyler at the LBS and have pretty much all the parts for my 92 "down in the dumps" Bianchi mtn bike so I have something to do when l am bored and the weather is too foul to ride. I calls it the "down in the dumps" because that is where I found it. Amazingly heavy frame for Tange chromo.
Mrs 12 had her second anti pneumonia shot on Tuesday and it h
as been kicking her butt for a few days but hopefully she will feel up to her favorite Christmas eve nosh.....which is what we call "small eats". This consists tiny beef Wellingtons, tempura shrimp, spanokopita, egg rolls, carrots and celery sticks with homemade blue cheese dressing, a cheese and salami plate, perhaps an apple pie. Made more sense when the lads and their wives were here as they can eat prodigious amounts, but fixing all this is a pleasure for her, and who am I to blow against the wind. I' d be happy with a third of all that.
After I eat breakfast l will put my Steamroller in the back of my Element and head down to the bike path along the river and around the golf course for a bit of a ride. Seems kinda wimpy not to just ride, but a mile and a half of the ride is a pretty good downhill grade, sheet ice and 20-30 mph crosswinds. The actual path is 300 ft lower than here and is level and sometimes cleared. Doing golf course laps is like riding a turbo in the basement but much colder but it's still outside and the wind will make it a bit of work. High today 3C, wind chill -5. By tomorrow the Chinook wind will have gotten rid of most of the snow.
Feliz Navidad!
