April Showers

It has been a common April with daily showers last week. Now the sun is out and I have been working in the yard. Already cut the grass in the back twice this year. I took down the temporary kennel fencing from the yard. Ship-po is hardly the terror to the lawn and trees that Tun-Tun was. We'll see what happens.

Tun-Tun's futon mattress is still in the basement. The other day Ship-po stuck her nose deep into the mattress and started frantically digging. We were planning to throw it out but haven't gotten around to it.

Hope to get out riding today. Give the bike a good wash and put on the new tires. Maybe I'll just put on the front and put the old front tire on the back. The front tires wear much slower. I could also use a new front derailleur if I had the money. Sure it works fine know, but come the heat of the race it fails to drop into the small ring. Or should I say never fails not to.

I heard that TV slows your metabolism. Could that be the reason for my Winter weight gain? Long cold dark nights in front of the TV, nurturing my nature deficit disorder. It also means long warm summer days. Get out and ride!
