Last year I replaced all my nuts and bolts with stainless - cost about $35 and an amazing difference. Most of the rust on components comes from the hardware. Since replacement everything's clean as can be!

Happy winter (that's funny)! A balmy 23F for the first day and still lots of ice. Forecast for near 40 this afternoon so looking for most of the ice to melt. It's actually my last day of work for the year so if it doesn't all melt I don't really care! This caught my attention this morning - enough to take a picture...
