One of the best parts of Summer is having the realization that it's finally here. Unfortunately, the chilly air is lingering in Boston. Still, the start of a new season is refreshing. I love the feel of a different temperature on my skin, and dressing accordingly. I'm also pretty excited about my growing portfolio, finding interesting work, and turning 27. Again.
One pretty awesome development in my life right now is the rebuilding of an old bike that someone left in our basement when the house was sold to our landlords.
I haven't done much work on bicycles before, but learning about it is a lot of fun. I also haven't attempted to ride one in maybe ten years.
This particular bike is from England, and was made in the 60's. Revamping is super fun, and I plan to make her dazzly.
One piece of advice, if you're using an old tire- make sure that there aren't any cracks in it. After filling the first one with air, I'm happy I was sitting far from it when it exploded a few minutes later. Can you gauge my skill now?
I'm doing okay as Ms. Fix-It. I'm finding that I actually like it.
I've also recently discovered a new favorite food.Marshmallow Pup.
What's your Summer project?
