Hand dry them with old T-shirts, lube the chains, then in our garage they are bone dry by the next morning. Charge them before next going out.

My precious 
As seems to be the thing to do these days on the forum, I've not properly read most of the exchanges so might have missed something.
But from what I've read, can you confirm all this works.
So you hand dry the wife with old t-shirts then lube the chains - I take it these are some form of security chains to keep the wife in place in the garage while she dries off over night ? Is this to stop the chains clanking around and annoying you or to stop the chains fraying her wrists/ankles (I don't know your exact setup).
I don't presently have a wife, but from a longer term investment perspective, can you tell me how much I should charge one each time before we go out ?

First ride out for me this year , thought I’d wait for it to dry up a bit 
If she needs chains to keep her in place you've got a dud.
We have a saying that if wife comes from the kitchen to the living room the chain is to long!If she needs chains to keep her in place you've got a dud.
@Zimmerframe You seem to have
Amflow and a rusty chain :(
Some from Hawes today:
Nothing crazy but looking up at the crux of High Ridge.
Nice vista on High Noon

Lone Ranger and Tonto ?. Love that picture
Very nice! Looks like etoni pics are getting competition!
Sitting here in winter mode I thought the same. Scrolling through the pics is like hot and ice tub jumping. Makes me wonder how long it takes mens mind to adjust to a 180 days shift in seasons, e.g. if you move permanently from Europe to Australia.
My brother moved from the UK to Brisbane, Australia and it took him ten years to be completely settled!
Things that took a bit of getting used to:
- Xmas on the beach!
- Acute homesickness every 28th December, when his whole family rang him up from the pub to sing him happy birthday! (Bastard's trick!)
- Awful beer!
- Rain like being under a waterfall!
- Floods, with water as far as the eye can see!
- Forest fires, as far as the eye can see!
- Outdoor temperatures in Summer!
- Nine out of ten of the world's most venomous spiders! (His wife got bitten by a red-back on her fingertip, followed by 24 hours of agony, on her whole arm, that no painkiller would touch).
- Nine out of ten of the world's most venomous snakes!
- Having to check that there are no crocodiles in the water!
- A corrugated metal roof being the best! (Especially with their rain).
- Not being able to say the place names on the road signs.
He came back after nine years for our Mother's 80th birthday and he did think, albeit briefly, about not going back. But a year later he was fine.
First ride on the new bike, and also first ever ride on an ebike. Absolutely loved it! Did 20 miles with 1400ft of climbing and got home feeling as fresh as when I left, which is mad as I'm usually pooped by the time I get home.
Still need to tweak the suspension a little bit and change the stock grips but otherwise I couldn't be happier with the bike.

Don't leave us on tenterhooks, is that a cliff edge, a ridiculously steep descent, something 'possibly' rideable or 100% certain death? We need to know what's over the brow.
It's ridable all the way over to the next peak. You can sorta see the trail on the other side.
Looks absolutely amazing! Beautiful pics. Where is this? What altitude are you at?

high pucker factor that one..
I’ve been fascinated by the saguaro cacti here in the Sonora desert. Occasionally my anthropomorphic tendencies see things in them that reflect my current state of mind. Some examples -
me as I headed out on yesterday’s ride on the Competitive Track at White Tank Mtn Park
me trying to deal with boulders, drops, and steep/sharp uphill switchbacks on the “tech” and “pro” sections
me at the finish
Anyone ready for a second lap?
