The Long Weekend

I haven't posted in awhile. Just haven't had much to say, I guess. Libs took Declan to the cottage this weekend til Thursday so I've been on my own since Friday. What did I do? Not a lot, to be honest. I took it really easy. Besides Saturday which seemed to last forever.

Sunday, my friend Dale came over and we swapped out the handlebars on my bike. Amazing what a difference it made. What a pain in the ass, though. boring out the trees, two trips to the home depot for bolts then drill bits (He bought another drill too to accommodate a 1/2" drill bit. Turns out the bit was lathed down at the drill side to 3/8", so he could return the drill unopened) He was incredibly patient and quite the problem-solver. When we talked about boring out the trees to allow the 3" bolts to pass through, I wanted to give up. But those bits tore through the aluminum like butter.

Anyway, I took some shots with my phone, but have yet to take them off. Will post them later.

I also finished Declan's nursery closet. Amazingly after a year in the house, we've just glossed over the fact his closet was full of junk, tools, boxes to recycle and quarter round.
