Broken Spoke

Well my last bike ride was October 26th so it has been awhile. On that ride it was fairly muddy and wet from rain the night before. So the following day I decided I better get the bike washed and cleaned off before it freezes. During that process I noticed I had a broken spoke on the back wheel. Not sure when that happened. Decided to take the wheel off and take it to the Bike Shop right away before rush hour traffic started. I was told it would be ready in about 15 minutes and if I wanted I could wait. So I wasn’t about to turn down a chance to hang around in the store.

Checked out all the really nice bikes. I can tell I sure have expensive tastes. Every bike I thought I would like cost a bundle $$. Well true to word it didn’t take long and I had my wheel fixed. New spoke and the wheel trued out. Good to go. Now just waiting for my next chance to go for a ride. Just have to bundle up and go for it.

Got the yard all raked and ready for winter. Not hard when you live on a postage stamp size yard (25’x120’). The pond has been emptied for sometime now as I had a racoon get at my goldfish about a month ago. Two of them managed to survive and I lost the smallest one. So needless to say they are inside for the winter now.

Our retirement group meets tomorrow morning for breakfast and it will be good to see everyone again. Usually we get around 35 - 45 people. Some of us manage to stay until lunchtime then head off for home or shopping.
