 “Hub and Spokes” Cedar Park, 2022

My new DT Swiss Champion spokes arrived after being delayed for two days because of the weather. During the waiting period, I polished up the hub with some Brasso metal polish. It’s looking shiny, although not completely perfect. I’m not that meticulous!

Tomorrow I am planning on lacing up the spokes on the rear wheel. This will be the last step to restoring the Peugeot up to a safe standard. The rusty spokes weighed a bit on my mind when riding, but less so after I replaced the spokes in front. With a fully-respoked Sophie, I can ride worry-free! 😊

 “Ehoumaki” Cedar Park, 2022

Tonight we celebrated Setsubun by eating ehōmaki while facing this year’s lucky direction, North-Northwest. The sushi was delicious and filling. It’s one (Kansai) Japanese tradition that I truly love!

 “Team USA Hats” Cedar Park, 2022

The 2022 Beijing Winter Olympics have begun, which means it’s time to break out the Team USA ski hats!

We don’t have “regular” television anymore, so I had to buy a month of Peacock TV to watch the events. So far I have been enjoying the coverage of hockey and curling, but cant wait until the snowboarding starts. I love those events!
