Spring... The marvellous season of the year where you need a puffer coat to leave home in the morning, and a t-shirt to leave work in the evening.

Spring, you say? How about the spring of 1938?

Spring, here, means temps in the 40sC. Yesterday was the first. Today we're managing to stay under 100A(37.5C)

Soon I will begin tearing down the 1984 Claud Butler a friend handed me for restoration, shortly before my covid adventure. I will be clamping it to the top tube, which is in such bad shape that it may have to be taken down to bare metal in order to save it.

Frankly, I don't know if either the seatpost or stem will budge. It's been sitting for a long time. I should start a thread in C&V, a more receptive and knowledgeable audience base.

I have heard coca-cola is worth considering.

I had great hopes for April 1; a new fresh quarter, a new start. So far, it hasn't gone as planned. No details, just some stuff that puts one's mood off. After that, we drove 20 miles to a starting point with our tandem to get away from Friday afternoon traffic only to find out that I brought the wrong shoes. Our tandem has MTB spds and the shoes that I packed our road cleats.
I'm going to go to a dark room for the rest of the day.

Went shopping for palms to replace the two we lost in the big freeze of 2021. Four feet tall and $4k.
I ain't no fool.
At least not today.

I was interested to read that the original recipe for a Cuba Libre wasn't "A jigger of rum + a can of coke", but rather 1 1/2 oz of rum to 3 oz of coke (plus lime juice, of course). That's a very different drink.
And of course you don't desecrate a good rum that way. Mixing is what intermediate rums are for.
