Ride.Enjoy.Life is Simple
A tire I ordered about a week ago arrived yesterday with a thud at my front door. It's still sitting in the dining room. I might take it down to the garage sometime today, but no hurry. This time of year you can just take your time working on your bike(s) because you ain't going nowhere for a few days, or weeks, or months until it warms up a bit and the snow and salt are gone.
Here in the Sunny South, it's usually just a few days of rainy cold weather that keeps you off the road, but the feeling is the same. You can take your time with whatever project you are doing.
My garage is kinda cozy with a heat pump I had installed a few years ago. Warm in the winter and cool in the summer, so I can spend the whole day down there tinkering. Maybe start a more ambitious project because, again, the bikes not going anywhere.
I think this "coziness" factor would be greater in an area with real winter to deal with. The garage or work shed would be a place of escape where you could open the box of parts that just arrived in the mail, maybe pour another cup of coffee or a hot chocolate and take your time. Peek out the window and see the snow come down, secure in your cave surrounded by your bikes, tools and a source of heat.
Happy New Year
