My mower is running like shit and is getting hard to start. I think I'll swap the plug, and maybe put some Marvel Mystery Oil in it and let it run for a bit.

I was running the leaf vacuum/blower yesterday for a while. still more leave son the trees. Have yet to uncover the snowblower and get it ready. I'm not emotionally ready for snow yet either. f'n winter.

we have two oak trees that haven't even started dropping their leaves yet.

 

[Supe]

My front two trees have dropped a couple, my backyard trees have been bald for about a month.

That was last Monday, too. Screw you.

And I got an 18-quart roaster to work on my bike today. Screw you again.

Heh...screw you again. "Yes, Alex. What is 'things NJMike's wife will never say.'"

Oak trees seem to need a good wind to rip their leaves off; they don't tend to just drop off naturally like other trees.

My silver maples still have leaves on them that are partially green. They drop so late that I'm usually out there raking or mulching with snow flying.

2.6 miles total.

I'm too stubborn to accept a ride.

 

[NJmike PE]

I was jokingly serious. what is a fat bike?

 

[mudpuppy]

Sweet!

2.6 miles isn't bad, is it hilly?

I attended a winter riding seminar a while back, they gave a demonstration of studding your tires.

 

[csb]

I have one hill in the middle of the ride, which tried to kill be this morning. It's a highway overpass (not interchange) and it raises us pretty well.

I'm leaning more towards studded tires. I'd buy those in a heartbeat after rescuing my bike from outside. The fat bike has the advantage of larger surface area. I'm just nervous about it. Not sure why.

 

[Supe]

That bike looks badass.

Is that a 26 or a 29?
