Old Cranky Junk Pile Bicycles

Sometimes you have to say "screw thwe dumb stuff" and just stay home. I have a cold, feel yuck! I stayed home today. I am listening to CCR, drinking STRONG coffee and "piddiling" in the kitchen area. Doing dishes, taking a break, drinking coffee, smoking cigarretts. No traffic hassles, no people hassles (I work as a security guard on a factory gate) just me, my music and the Cat - her who rools the roost. It's a sunny day on Florida's Suncoast, the windows are open, a breeze is blowing. What a nice day to take a break and just relax around home.

 

This morning i put a cheap Bell Cyclo-puter on my Nishiki 10 speed, as well as a softer more "adult" seat that fits my fat 325lbs butt. Next payday I plan on upright handlebars, and new brake levers, and cables. I can't handle looking at the front wheel anymore. I want to ride "heads up!" Let those young kids in bubble helmets do that bent over thing. It's not for me.

 

I have been riding all summer and have lost 15 lbs. and 4 inches around the waist. 54" to a loose 50". I also feel better physically, except for this damn cold some fool at work gave me.

 

SO have a nice peaceful Sunday afternoon, and thank the good Lord I am alive on such a beautiful day.
