Procrastinating

I started tearing out the deck last week and finally got back to it. We finished pulling out the rotten deck boards. The ones under the eaves were in pretty good shape and replacing them seemed silly (to me). I just need to remove the stair stringers and pick up a couple of replacements at Lowe’s before installing new deck boards. I will probably prep and paint the support beams as they don’t seem to be in bad shape either. Just the deck boards themselves or more specifically, the ends of the boards not under the eaves.

Last night, I put on the sidecar windscreen and took off the screen on the motorcycle while cleaning up some wiring. This morning, I rode to coffee at Sunshine Health and, honestly, I don’t see how people can ride without a windshield. The wind pressure meant that I needed to hold on the grips much tighter than I do normally. To me, it was tiring. The wind noise in my helmet was slightly lower but it wasn’t enough to make me want to leave the windshield off. So it’s now back on. One of these days I’ll try one of the smaller ones.
