Every Day in May - Day 19

Picked up new bearings and cones from Bean's Bikes in West Chester (a new shop in town - it's right on my way to and from work). Got them home and they installed very quickly with a little fussing setting the right amount of tightness to avoid both axle wobble and binding. Used waterproof (so they say) "Bullshot" grease. Put the wheel back on my bike, degreased my hands, and rode around the driveway a few times. Axle still had a little wobble so I took it back off the bike, tightened the cones a bit, then rode some more. Everything felt pretty good. Total distance about a mile. Does that count as a ride? Hope so.
