Day-Off Monday
Regard day off – continuation of yesterday with housework. Cleaning up and garaging the boat after the rain, and fixing up the watering system for the summer.
One question for the internet oracle. How the hell do I patch leaks in the drip system? So far the only approach I’ve found works is cutting it out and shimming it with a male:male connector, but it’s fairly expensive, shortens the line, and often develops new leaks around the shim. UPDATE: I looked it up annnd indeed that’s how it should be done.
…Easter Sunday
Spring-ful day out here, first of this month where the temperature has risen to 70°F+.
Exercise
Weightlifting today, legs. Rather than stacking on an additional cardio workout, focusing on putting the time into catching up round the house today. Frankly, choosing comfort.

Saturday
MoHo farmers market, and grabbed my bike from Bike Therapy.. The mechanics complimented the rear color matched titanium wheel which makes me cry for the stolen wheel.
Otherwise, got to housework today: cleaned Dad’s boat, drained and scrubbed the tub, and the regular weekend tasks.
Exercise-wise, got in ab circuit #1 and a 30min bike ride.

Weds Rollers
Exercise
I noticed my speed was decently low on the rollers because of the resistance of the drums & fans. I collected the Kreitler Rollers info so I could better calculate work put in across a ride.
On a different biking note, my shifter cable broke for the front ring – new failure to me: the wire sheath split out from the plastic housing when placed under tension. I’m not even going to try and fix this one myself as the cable needs to be a very specific length. Tomorrow’ll be a good day to take it to Bike Therapy in town.
