The only joy in my day at the moment is listening to California Soul by Marlena Shaw or Hit Or Miss by Odetta. Bored of vidya. Bored of chatting to girls. Working out has become a chore. University assignments are a struggle. Life's dull to say the least.
Tinkering with my bikes.
I'm kind of in a slump as far as actually doing anything goes currently and don't get to riding much apart from work and errands and stuff, but I do quite like tinkering with them currently.
Researching parts, replacing or fitting parts, more-than-usual maintenance and such. There's always some way to eek out a few more watts or otherwise improve a bike. Currently considering changing the chainring on my singlespeed because my RPM top out a bit below the speeds I'd like to go, ordered some fenders that'll need fitting and different brake pads because the current ones are a fair chunk less effective than I'd want them to be in the rain.
Also recently built up an old bike as a grocery getter and I'm still thinking of a better, more convenient way to secure a huge crate on the back that can also be taken off. It's a neat project because as far as I can see, there isn't really a guide for what I'm doing so I genuinely have to figure it out myself and not just buy parts and follow an instruction manual.
