Hot Water

We made it to Maple Grove today. The hot water was divine. I only pedaled part of the way there via Richmond, Mountain Home Road, Cove, and Franklin. Patty picked me up at La Tienda. I was a little down than no one wanted to come with us or pedal with me, but I know people are busy. We saw deer, swans, geese, a great horned owl, a bald eagle, and lots of snow.

The bald eagle flew
Higher, climbing in circles
Over the mountain

It was only a few degrees above freezing today, but there are some signs of Spring out there. I saw towhees singing their heads off, along with chickadees, robins, and other returning birds. I also saw downy woodpeckers and killdeer today. The yellow warblers will return just as soon as the cottonwoods break bud.

Recycled & New Bicycles will be open for regular hours this week and from here on out. Things will be getting busy, so come on in. I have had some phone calls asking about repair prices. As many of you know, I do not do "set price" tune ups. I fix what needs to be fixed on your bike. I do not charge for work that I do not do, and I do not charge for work that does not need to be done. A tune up may cost you $20 or it may cost you $60. It may cost $100 or it may be free. If you want an estimate I will be glad to give you one. I think I do the best work in town for the best price. If you want to insult or haggle, please, take your bicycle some where else. Repair rant over.
