Yesterday afternoon -- I had some volunteer work in the morning -- I installed the new stainless hardware on my pennyfarthing bike basket (thank you, PDW!), and found that a heavy application of beeswax on the bolt threads completely prevented galling, hooray!
Then I set out on a Journey: a mile-plus through Broad Ripple proper, with excursions to some of the finer
Made coffee, took ibuprofen and laid down for "just a bit." Couple of hours later, Tam getting ready woke me. She asked if I wanted to go shooting today and I allowed how I'd make my own way to the range* maybe -- and fell back asleep.
Woke up when I heard the door slam later, realized my shoulders were S-O-R-E, set a heat pad and fell asleep again.
And now here I am.
I did manage to sneak in a load of laundry on the two previous wakings, so the morning's not a complete loss.
But maybe I need to work my way up to longer rides.

* Tam and SB delight in a hearty breakfast and a full morning at the range. I'm best off choosing one or the other.

Did some outside Spring Cleaning yesterday. I DO "Feel your Pain."
"junk/retro shops"...
I believe the term if "Junque Shoppe", although the pseudo-archaic spelling of "shop" is optional.
Praise the Lord it's not just me.
Didn't know that PennyFarthings put so much stress on one's arms and shoulders. They looked so stress-free! I'm assuming it's the riding position, to stay reasonably upright requires a serious grip on the handlebars?
