Brady: I have all the stuff at hand now to do the tire changes. I’ll let you know how it goes. It always seems to end up being more trouble than I imagine when I turn to mechanical activities…

Circle Blue: I’m finding satisfaction in tending to the garden and myriad other tasks at hand. Riding has been minimal beyond riding to work and such but that’s ok. There will be days for journeys…

Steve, I commend you for starting with your tires early. I try, really, but have a hard time just keeping mine full of air, doing anything with them when the seasons change.

As to yard work, I find it's a good thing for about a month - gets you outside, moving, enjoying the sun and the weather. Then it's too hot and no longer interesting. This is why I have crappy yards.

I have found that the main problem with yard work is the word work. You don’t find the word work anywhere in, “Dad what are you doing? Lets go for a ride.

A garden is nice. Sometimes I miss not having a yard to putter in, but it is indeed rare for me to regret living in a condo. I'm happy to let someone else tend to the yard and flowers.

I still haven't removed the stuff I spray on my Symba to protect it from the salt and chemicals. I wait until April 15th to do that. Spring seems firmly here, but there is enough of the Michigander left in me not to trust it for a minute.

Good riding. I'm sure you'll find the time.

Bobskoot: I certainly was tempted by weather and the lure of the road to ride but kept it to errands and transportation to work. I’ve chosen the ride far too often over taking care of things. Not this year. I’m going to be industrious.

Steve:

First things first, that's what I did last Saturday.

I noticed the grass being a big long, I heard gas lawnmowers coming to life. I actually paused for a moment to considr the possibility of starting my own lawnmower but then I imagined the sweat and work that would entail cutting my lawn, so I did what anyone else in my position would do. I went for a ride
