Sunny Days.


I'm going to make sure I take my camera out with me again tomorrow. Should have gone for a bike ride today but laziness set in. Still might go out for a bit this evening anyway.

The mountain bike I really want to fix up is being incredibly stubborn. The seat post appears to be aluminium and the frame is steel. Science lesson for today: steel and aluminium can rust and bond together. So far no amount of WD40, brute force or encouragement from a blow torch has separated them.

If I can't get the seat post out I may just have to cut it to size (it's way too tall for me right now) and deal with it, but getting that right will be a head ache. If I cut it too short I will be infuriated.
