Default Off Season Repairs or One Arm Bandit

I have all three bikes in the stable and bedded down for the winter. Today we had 50f but I took care of some final fall chores as I'm headed for rotator cuff surgery Monday morning. Doc says it's a slow road back to any real activity so I will catch up on some reading and a few movies over the coming weeks. I should be back at work riding the desk in about three weeks, may be 3 months before any weight on the right arm. The left is in for a rude awakening I'm sure. One handed wrenching is too frustrating.

Better to take a long time in recovery, than try to rush it and never fully recover.

Be patient, don't push things too hard and you'll see the benefit.

Hope things go well for you.

Good for you mate. There's always one thing you can do one-handed that'll pass the time. .....................:eek :



















Yes! Polishing is great for passing the time
