Little Things You Love

They are two very cool looking bikes sir. I don't think either should be consigned to the back of the shed.

wife doesn't mind me spending money on bikes but she hates us gathering stuff. Kona will be up for sale shortly

I wish Kona would start doing colours like they did in the old days.

LTIL - mowing the lawn.
For someone who sits at a desk all day signing bits of paper and filling out computer screens there is a shit load of joy in seeing a result at the end of 3 hours. My mind wanders off to all sorts of weird places walking back and forth with the ear muff on. it's as close to zoning out on a mountain bike i can get while still earning brownie points.

I figure it is the best DIY you can do, it requires very little to no skill and if you stuff it up it's all better in 3 weeks.

I also don't mind it - my rescued Flymo H40 gets the job done and its quite satisfying to watch it spin as it clips

I found it pretty torturous, the very few times I bothered. I love the no lawn life I've got now! Though I noticed some things appearing through the cracks recently...going to burn them out with boiling water.

When I do this on the tractor I usually end up in a tree.

Found my mower on a hard rubbish pile and towed it home about 2 km with my spare tube whilst commuting. An old 1960's mulching Briggs and Stratton 4 stroke. Starts first time, oil changed occasionally, been mowing my 1/4 acre for 8 years now.
Then there's this...

Mate's brother reckons lawns are a government conspiracy to keep people busy . They spend all their time mowing and watering and no time for learning or protesting. Look at the french, they don't have lawns!

Your lawn isn't big enough then. By the time I've finished hand mowing 1/2 acre I'm well over mowing. Then there's the whipper snipping to go...

I'd spend a day a year mowing lawns. That adds up over a life time. Probably better for me than spending that day on rotorburn...

Nah. You'd learn smart things on this place.

Hmmmmm, you guys mean to tell me physical excercise and time in the sun is good for ones mental health? I don’t believe you.

Even I enjoy yard work, and I spend zero time at a desk playing with pens.

Valuable time that could be spent riding.

Doing an online exam via my remote login for a work qualification with zero study on account of being sick AF, and winging a pass.

woo

 

[Ultra Lord]

Sounds like my school/tafe career. Except I was usually half tanked at tafe on account of $10 lunchtime jugs at the local pub.

And I spent too much time skipping school to ride instead of being sick.


Either or I fluked it and still manaed to test okay haha!

Jumping back on older ones, I notice the jack. All but removed with fine tuning of the shock positions
This arrived yesterday. More than a little bit excited about building it up.
