Feel free to share,
It's a good day when.....
Your son finds a custom made daruma assembly by Tomii in the spare tire well of the Focus, long considered lost.
My Roberts is happy.

I get out to ride early enough that I can stop at a open-air coffee shop I like on my ride home. It really makes me feel like "I am living the good life".

And to think I figured that Flog was into serious, small, artisan oriental hardware sculpture. (man that was tough to type, PD makes for some interesting spellings, ;^{/)
Actually, that is pretty ingenious set up for mounting a fender, very nice and well engineered.

It seems like someone had a bad day here... I mean, why else would you be looking in the spare tire well?

Bikes: LESS than I did a year ago!
Its a good day when...
Actually...to my favorite saying..."everyday is a good day, some are better...how do we make today a better day?"
So...better days are when...
My health allows me to ride the bike...OUTDOORS! I was able to do 20 miles (two 10 milers) outside for the first time in about a year this weekend...and loved it...was totally disappointed when it rained all day yesterday...as I was hoping for another 10 miler! But...I should get one in this week!
