the eric update – day 2119: zen and the art of bicycle maintenance.



in preparation for the snowdeal rummage and bake sale that odin had orgnaized to pay for the remaining portion of a fancy new bike he’s been saving up for, we found we had to change the innertube on one of the tires on his very first bike so we could fetch a premium price.

odin is a “hands on” on kid so he jumped at the chance to learn how change a tire and tube.

i recall being fairly intimidated by the prospect of the task even after i had quite a few decades on odin, but he took to the task with his usual gusto and had the tire off in no time, er, flat.



sadly, we didn’t even have much time for mw to reminisce about zen and the art of motorocycle maintenance and the metaphysics of quality before he was tooling around in his newly-fixed and soon-to-be-sold bike!

  1. Hi,

    Catching a cold from your sick child is part of the parenting, but there are a couple things you could do to lessen the probability of it happening. We've recently constructed a list of 25 ways you can keep your kids from making you sick: http://crnaschools.org/25-ways-to-keep-your-kids-from-making-you-sick/.

    If you have some time, could you read our article? Being nurses as well as parents, we believe these tips will be very helpful when the next cold season comes. If you like it, can you blog about it?

    PS, I couldn't find your email/contact form, so I'm leaving you this comment. Feel free to delete this after you read it.

    Thank You,

    Christina
