My wife conveniently celebrates 3 different "Mother's Day"
Dec 8th because she is Panamanian
Aug 15th because we lived in Costa Rica for many years
May 11th because we are in the US now.
Fortunately she is pretty low maintenance, so its just flowers or something simple.

pick neighborhood you want to live in. explore it on your bicycle. win/win.
Looking online is quick and easy, but being on a bicycle riding around lets you get a feel for the area, how people act, how safe things appear, etc.

I returned the defective frame I bought, exchanged it for one without flaws and then I built up my first frameset with leftover parts.

Not a bad idea. Might take the bikes downtown this weekend. We think we've might have found the one, hoping to see it this weekend. It's in an awesome location, needs a little work, but nothing wrong with that as it'll allow us to remodel it the way we want.

Today I put the fenders on, packed a 2nd rain shell and rain pants and prepare for a very wet ride home tonight. The right gear makes ALL the difference. Too bad my rain gear isn't quite complete yet though. Still need to figure out something for the hands and feet and really, I need multiples of everything since we get rain for days.

My 'rain' pants are about 2 or 3 years old now and no longer sold. (I know because I checked last week). Having said that, I am likely going to pick up a pair of these soon.

Bicycle Repair Man !!!
Today I worked all morning in the shop and then spent the afternoon on a mobile service job... I am planning to put a hitch mounted repair stand on the Jeep for future jobs but today I was working on a trike for a really nice lady I know and a stand would not have worked.

Was getting fed up with "work" stuff this morning. Network kept dropping me. Normally I start to get very agitated. But not today! I am on vacation and working remote. So I just shut the HP down, pull on the bibs and take my Trekie out for a ride.
