Hi there! I have finally found some time to work on the videos that I took during the BB20 Event a few weeks ago. Is someone able to share with me the music track that goes at the end of the video please?

Thanks!

More firewood gathering today, The clear skies and cool weather make it a treat this time of year. I decided to fell this dead standing larch with the bowsaw to see if I could do it. This was ambitious for the bowsaw and it was A LOT of work, really helped me appreciate the chainsaw for sure! A little help from Mr. Wedge and I got through and fell right where I wanted it! Should make some nice firewood.

Kitchen was in need of attention! It is always so satisfying when you have a nice clean space afterwards.

I used a bit of dish soap from the unscented co. for the sink, dishes, and for mopping the floor. Here is the link to their website: https://unscentedco.com/collections/dishwashing/products/dish

Working on Ashley's bike so we can go for a ride together! These are disc brakes so a bit different than the example but I had to adjust them so I thought I would take a video. Here it is, before, during and after adjustment.

This bike has only been on a dozen or so rides so the chain is not super dirty. That said, it is much easier to keep the chain clean and running well if you do this regularly, rather than letting the gunk build up! I perform this procedure after most rides. I also make a point to clean and lube the chain any time I use the hose to clear the mud off, otherwise it tends to rust. I just cleaned the bike so it's time to take care of the chain!

This is my mountain bike. It is a recreational tool and it keeps me happy and healthy by letting me explore the trails. Good shifting is ket to getting around on any bicycle and the principles are the same for most shifters and derailleurs:
