New ride
English readers of this place may not know yet, but this post was about me quitting smoking. So, yes, I’ve quit smoking since a month, 39 days to be precise :-)
Given how I feel in better shape, especially in the body parts involved in breathing (allergies, asthma), I decided it was time to ditch my old, rusty and un-fun bike that my dad gave me 10 years ago and which has been built in 1992 or something (yes, if I treat myself with a bike after one month, I wonder what I’ll find after one year…). This old Giant Coldrock is now officially retired, and replaced by a brand new Giant (can’t help, they make good bikes) Rincon which is until now a very nice ride. I’ve only used it in the city for now, but I can’t wait to put some mud on it.

All of this doesn’t help me patch Claws Mail…

Congratulations, I quit several years ago and it really deserves the effort.

The next step is to stop coding at home ! :-)

You’ll code at home later, maybe in winter ! ;-)
Did you sell the Coldrock on eBay ?
I’m so happy to see you healthy…
Much love for the « p’tite famille » ! :)

Thanks Mom :)
No, I kept the Coldrock, and I think maybe I’ll use it to attach the future baby seat for Paul… and use the new bike for more sportive sessions !

Great idea, Colino ! I’m pleased you kept it as an old friend, as a witness of a completed time… Your son on his grandfather’s bike, that’s nice.
Kisses ! :-)
