Funny pictures!

The Darling Bride has to watch every single one of them. They all have a similar plot and they almost always end with the protagonist chick, and the (former) antagonist guy, kissing... and it starts snowing at that very moment.

I have been watching Halmark with my mother and her boyfriend, I got to say, if it was not for the ladies being cute...

Failures

I trimmed a house once that sat on the corner of the entrance to the addition and a main road. There was an island to separate traffic in front of the house. The plan should have been reversed on the lot and have a right loading garage vs the left so that the owner could exit the main road and drive past the island to access the drive. As it was built, the owner would have to either choose the wrong lane to get into the drive or do a u-turn beyond the island and approach the drive from the other direction.
Perhaps the architect should have been a southpaw and therefore in his right mind.
Or could there have been a "blonde" factor involved?

E-Bikes

Not only cold but it was very windy today. It was the perfect day to pull the rear wheel off of the RCS.
I brought it inside and removed the tire and tube and the liner that keeps the tube from rubbing on the ends of the spoke nipples. I cleaned up the wheel and cassette and removed the brake rotor. That's all I know how to do and I have tools for the job. I took the wheel with the old motor and the new motor to the bike shop and met the man that will do the job. He was very pleased that the motor was an exact replacement so the spokes should work. There were two spokes that he thought were bent a little and I told him I have three new spokes that I got with my first RCS back in 2019. He wants them on hand in case he has need for them. I'll run them up there tomorrow. He wants to replace the nipples and the ones on the wheel now are chrome. He asked if he could go back with black nipples that match the spokes and wheel. He can get them a lot faster and cheaper. The front wheel has chrome nipples but I can't see that it makes any difference to me. He's guessing he should have the parts and have the wheel built in a week. I ordered a new brake rotor. The rotor I pulled off is scored and for the price, it might as well be new while starting new with the rebuild. He was amazed that the old motor has that many miles on it. I told him I wanted the motor back. I might have it rebuilt as a spare at some point. It's not like it has burned up, it just has a hiccup at 21 to 25 mph. I'm sure it will eventually fail without a rebuild.

My daughter and crew had another party to attend so we ate early and they were gone by three thirty. I was so miserable that I jumped on the bike and rode 21 miles in an attempt to make room for my dessert. Daughter in California with her in-laws and all of the family on that side and my son at his oldest daughter's and their four kids and the daughter and her two kids that shared dinner with us have been posting video clips of all the fun family stuff going down in a group text. The blessing of being the senior member of my family and extended family is paying dividends. Between kids, grandkids, and great grandkids, there is a lot of love and fun being shared this Thanksgiving.
I'm grateful you enjoyed such a delightful day, @olbriar. I hope they're staying on a little longer so you can enjoy them some more. Have an excellent weekend!
