Another Busy Day

I was up a few times throughout the night checking on Shelley.  I did feel better today, so I did sneak in a 12-mile bike ride.  Sure feels good to get out there.  Since Shelley could not care for the landscaping, I spent three hours watering, pulling weeds, and harvesting the garden.  It needs to be done every 3-4 days.  She enjoys it, so we have large flower beds and a sizable vegetable garden area.  It is a pain if you do not want it, like me!

Last month, I had my Bionx D500 wheel rebuilt.  When I got it back, the torque sensor was not working.  Since the bike has 15,000 miles, it may be at the end of its life.  My thoughts kept going to the shop for several weeks; perhaps the sensor was installed incorrectly. Even though the company dissolved in 2019, I found a forum that suggested the bike shop may have erred.  So today, I spent a few hours trying to fix the sensor, and I was successful!!!   This is my favorite bike, and I was thrilled, yet I could not ride as Shelley needed me to be available, and if I had trouble, she could not rescue me.

As it was my birthday yesterday, only Shelley's daughter and two past work friends, Topher and Shelley, remembered.  Today, my son called at 6:00 PM to say happy birthday.  I did an abysmal job raising him to remember to celebrate events and dates in his life.  There is nothing I can do about that now.

We watched the Nebraska vs. Illinois football game, and it was a heartbreaker for Cornhusker fans (AKA Shelley).  I got 6 hours of sleep last night, which was needed!  Shelley can regain some independence in one week, and I can return to being retired!

Carry on my friends, carry on!
