What did you do this weekend?
As part of a weekly series, these topics are a place for users to casually discuss the things they did — or didn't do — during their weekend. Did you make any plans? Take a trip? Do nothing at all? Tell us about it!
I installed handguards on my motorcycle. Ended up buying a torque wrench, a hex bit socket set, and some loctite. Hardest part was getting the factory handlebar weights out. I tried to do it with an assortment of screwdrivers and tools before finally finding an instructional video that did it with a thin sheet of metal and a hammer. Once they were out, the rest of the install went pretty quickly. I haven't gotten the opportunity to go out for a ride and test them, part of me hoping that they divert some of the cold wind off my hands, and another part of me hoping that I will never have to test them for their true purpose of keeping the asphalt and road debris off my hands.
Later in the weekend I attended my first NHL game. I sat in the 4th row in a corner seat so I got to see up close and personal all the guys getting smooshed up against the glass. It was a ton of fun! I think I enjoy hockey games quite a bit more than other professional sports so far.
+1 on hand guards, but can I be nosey and ask how is asphalt even getting close to your hands?
I can only speculate for that part if I got into an accident and the bike positioning falling down was funky. But they are aluminum so no telling how well they would keep their shape hitting the ground directly at high speed.
Celebrated "Christmas"... A few family member were sick from covid toward the end of last year, so we delayed it a bit.
I finally finished a digital planner project I’d been working on since September. A little later than I would have liked, since it starts in January, but I’m happy with how it turned out!
I sent my partner the link, it's something that would be right up their alley!!
Oh nice! Hope they enjoy it!
It was a perfect 3 day weekend for outdoor sport!!! My partner and I did an overnight backpack on Friday/Saturday, I went mountain biking with a few friends on Sunday, and then recouped for the week in th garden on Monday. I dealt with quite a few injuries from early 2020 to mid 2021 and this is the first weekend I've felt back to 100% since then. Very grateful to live in a climate that allows me to engage the outdoors like this in January.
