Ha.
I was just reading the book "Leanings". He talks about buying a new(to him) bike. Parking it in the garage and getting a lawn chair and a beer. Just sitting and looking at the bike.
I have done that.

Guilty.
No garage at the current house, so the bike sits outside the window over the sink, under the carport. I catch myself just standing there, staring at it sometimes.
Have to check out "Leanings."
