The only wash monkey I see is in the mirror. He will soon be replaced by his brother the shine monkey.

Quick afternoon check in. Not much to report. Nothing I can talk about anyway... Hope all is well.

I came back, thought I'd share. The weekend was busy as hell, shuffle wise. I was on call so I couldn't get away from my phone. Yesterday, I had no excuses. The day was nice, to ride I mean. But, over the past week or so, I've found excuses not to ride. I'm not sure why, I am jonesing for a ride, but I find reasons not to go. Might force myself to go this afternoon.

TLT is in Tennessee this week, so it's just the girls, the dogs, and me by myself.

I ditched a sweet set of 80 spokes after the second time I had to clean them after wet adventure, 6 to 8 hours a wheel.

Rain crud sucks.

Got the spokes on the RKC. I use nice thick shoelaces with chrome polish on them. It takes a while but they do look sharp.

I did forget him. Dangit! But he's helped out at the house where I've needed muscle. TLT bought me a computer desk and I needed help moving things around in the room. Emily and Manny moved thing and I just watched. I was awesome!

I'm with you on this one. I did spokes on my Springer for a little while. Long story short, over ten years later, still loving the billet wheels because they take about 30 seconds to clean. Also, less maintenance. Mine kept coming loose.
