The Missus and I were supposed to go to our 50th high school class reunion Saturday evening. I've been ambivalent about going right from the start but I figured if she wanted to go, I'd be happy to escort her. She's been having trouble with her back and I managed to throw mine out on Friday - not too terribly bad this time but enough to make it a bit uncomfortable. I moved a bunch of bags of concrete mix Thursday to repair the sidewalk and I'm pretty sure that was the set up. Anyway, I was all dressed to go Saturday but the Missus decided to abort the mission. In addition to our health issues, she had also learned of the passing of a young relative and just didn't feel like going out. I'll be making a trip to the chiropractor today which should fix me up. At least until I have to deal with all the bags of concrete mix and repair the sidewalk..
I did get a bit of yard work done and I welded up the floor on my bicycle trailer where some of the welds holding the expanded metal floor on had broken. The trailer tubing is Inconel and the floor is plain carbon steel. I welded them together with 309 stainless filler which should have done it but the trailer's seen a lot of rough service. Only thing left on the touring rig is the new handlebar tape and I'll be ready to go again. I'm hoping the tape comes in the mail today. I'd like to have that finished.
The missing link to hook up my Sirius radio in the new truck came in Saturday. I should have that done in the next couple of days. As soon as I can bend over without fearing a lock-up on the back, I'll be hitting the bike projects once more.
