I suppose. Blue skies, mid-40s light wind, good day for lots of stuff.
I did manage to wash the bikes a bit, clean and lube the chains on the Blue and the Croll.
One thing i've noticed that is nice about the EVrLube is to clean you need some high pressure water, hit the chain and all the dirt washes out of it and it is nice and smooth again. Relube and all set. But to take it another step, after washing the drive train with water and soap (the soap never strips the chain down to bare metal and that's a good thing), I will dry the chain off and then run it through the park chain cleaning tool using the Lube. Works so well. After the water gets the grit out the lube and the cleaner tool gets the old lube and grease off and then everything is easy to wipe clean, the chainrings, the jockey wheels too. Pretty quickly the bike is clean and the drive train is ready to go. I usually add a bit more fresh lube, work it in and then wipe off the excess before calling it done.
Getting low on lube though. Need to make a trip to the hardware store to get some more mineral spirits.
Right now, 3 quad espressos into the day, really actually not that much for me, i'm ready for a nap. falling asleep on the couch, feet up. doing nothing. being lazy. exhausting all the new naked tumblr pages i've found and too lazy and uninspired to dig for more of them, so i'm writing. the ride has worn off completely now. or i should say that was the top of the roller coaster and now i'm down in a valley trying to find the momentum to carry on a bit in a way. No sleep last night. Just couldn't fall asleep, couldn't stay asleep, and surprisingly not legs related... all in my head. would be nice to get it out...
maybe i'll manage to fall asleep inspite of the coffee today
or not... probably should get back to laundry, unloading the dishwasher, loading the dishwasher, and what ever else has to get done
