I knew there was a reason I've been sticking to road riding - too lazy to hose down my bike! (I didn't think you were suppose to vacuum under your couch until you were moving it to a new home!)

Ya gotta admit, Irulan gets the most out of her bike!
Love the mud, it's so much better than dust.Give big space to the festive dog that make sport in the roadway. Avoid entanglement with your wheel spoke.

Hecky Dern, my dustbunnies formed a union and now I can't vacuum them without the proper union official in attendence and the proper union approved vaccuum. Last I heard, the bunnies were trying to decide if there Was such a thing as a union approved vacuum so all my house cleaning is on hold until further notice.
Life should NOT be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in an attractive and well preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways, champagne in one hand, strawberries in the other, body thoroughly used up, totally worn out and screaming: "Yeah Baby! What a Ride!"

Don't worry about dust bunnies until they get bigger than the cat.
To train a dog, you must be more interesting than dirt.

What do you do about 70-lb self-ambulating dust bunnies? The kind that hog your bed and have a Milk Bone budget rivalling your own food budget?

Those are hairballs, not dustbunnies - I have two small, but prolific hairballs...

Hey, I've got one of those! It's called "German Shepherd" - the only dog recognized by the AKC that sheds 24/7/365. I have to give my vacuum cleaner the Heimlich maneuver after each room.

clean the chain? you are supposed to clean the chain???
ok, ladies.. here's where you can gang up on me *i'm already running and ducking*
cleaning the chain and bike maintenance is hubby's job.. i know how to change a flat when i'm out on the road (may take me 10 times as long.. but i do know how to do it!) but when it comes to getting dirty (ICK!) and getting grease on my hands with stuff like chain cleaning.. i leave it to the man of the house.. just like it's HIS job to change the oil in my car (oh ok.. we usually pay someone to do it!) or any other maintenance type stuff!
i'll be back when you all are done chasing me and wanting to beat me up!
p.s. he just got and says i need to get one of those chains that goes on with a quick hook/release thing and he loves it! just pops that little piece.. gets the chain off.. sticks in in a gatorade or propel bottle with some simple green and SHAKES it!
p.s.s. and i don't vacuum under my couch on a weekly basis (hmmmm can't remember the last time i moved it.. been too busy riding on weekends since june to think much about THAT kind of housework! lol! and we have 2 samoyeds (wanna have a shed-off? bet mine shed more than your's! lol) plus 2 cats.. plus we are in the desert (sand.. dust.. sand... sand... sand...)Last edited by caligurl; 03-11-2005 at 08:05 AM.
