The Thing Stays Dirty

Yesterday I actually felt the suns warmth on my skin. I stepped out of a shadow and felt the sun's actual warm radiation. It felt very, very good. I'm even starting to see tree blossoms around Seattle. Spring time is just around the corner.

Also, I washed my bike for the first time ever yesterday. I've had the thing 16 months (and 24,000 miles. I love bragging about my milage :)) and have never polished a single piece of chrome on the thing. This time I actually borrowed a hose from the building manager and used real soap and water. Then real chrome polish. The bike has been washed, when it goes in for a tune-up, they wash it if it's sunny out. I've had plenty of tune-ups on cloudy days though, and the thing stays dirty. I'd say it's been washed 3 or 4 times in it's life. It looks pretty good now though. Perhaps I'll start making this a habit...
