Of the all the months, September is
one of my favorites. It means a
lot of different things. To a
cyclist, especially one here in the Deep
South it should mean “It’s time to ride!” The days are still reasonably
long. The weather (usually) moderates a bit. We’ve had a good long Spring and Summer
to get ourselves into some kind of condition. We are ready man!
Of course, immediately after Labor
Day, various news and advertising media start yapping about Fall…
and to hear them talk, Fall means
something like this…

…when in point of fact, September
here in Georgia is often more like this…

| How a north Georgia September often feels |
In truth we do well to remember
that September is a Summer
month. The solar calendar places
the end of Summer at the Autumnal Equinox, usually on September 21st. Locally, this may (or may not) be true. Remember! Climate is what you expect, but weather is what you get. In our part of the world we get a lot of weather. Still, it will be quite a while (if at all) before we wake to this...

| Yippee! It iced! Let's go out and break our fool necks! |
September is also one of “The
Months of Getting Things Done.”
For me that means cleaning up, sorting, un-trashing, and
organizing. I’m working to get my
shop ready for the coming of The Winter
Projects. This is always
entertaining, as my home shop usually looks more like this…

| Typical |
Or
THIS...
 |
| Almost organized... Sort of... |
Than this...
 |
| The Dream! |
So I have plenty to keep me amused
and gainfully occupied. Just thinking about it gives me a confusion of happiness and headache.
