I’m not sure how to say this

So bear with me while I work at it.

I love motorcycles.

I love Deedles.

So when I work with his motorcycle

It’s like I’m working with an extension of him. He’s not here, but I’ve tidied up the Rally as he’ll be here in a week

He doesn’t get the bike dirty on purpose anymore than he expects me to clean it. I don’t really even get to watch him ride as he prefers to follow, play chase if you will.

Parenting is a labor of love, one I don’t get enough of. Tending to motorcycles more so, so doing so on his makes me feel connected. It’s also modeling, taking care of a machine pays dividends.

I found a loose nut, snugged it down. It prevented a minor problem, it wouldn’t have been calamitous had it fallen off, but that’s part of the dividend I’m speaking of!

Now to clean my chain, a form of self caring, loving on my motorcycle!
