- Can't believe I took the bicycle completely apart today. I'm feeling a mixture of both terror and excitement. ->
- Winter's making another appearance in Texas. Thank the Hobbits, my feet are cozy and warm in their fuzzy coverings! ->
- Good thing I'm not using chemicals for rust removal on the bike. Looks like I'll be working on it in the kitchen this week. Brrrrr. ->
- Gonna make a huge pot of chili today. It's definitely chili weather! ->
- Thanks to the sudden change in weather, my head is full of pain today. Migraines suck. ->
- Cleaned another section of rusty bike rim. That and making the chili will be the sum total of my productivity today. ->
- Dear cats: Mommy's head hurts. Could you please stop running through the house like a herd of small, noisy elephants?! ->
- The bubbling pot of not-really-done-yet chili smelled so good, I had it taste it. The next forty-five minutes are going to be LONG. Hungry! ->
- Have discovered there's only one company making one type of tire that will fit on the old and strange rims of my bike-in-progress. Ugh. ->
- My husband was correct. It's going to cost me as much money to rebuild this bike as it would to buy a new one. ->
- I'm feeling more than a wee bit despondent over the unexpected bike tire situation. ->
