Observed some surface oxidization on chain and various bolts. This probably has something to do with plenty of rain in the last couple of days and the fact the rig almost never comes in from the out of doors.

Got down into the 'granny gear' a couple of times yesterday, as had to tractor up short mounds. The transmission performed flawlessly. Only complaint is that when upshifting the left shifter such as to get to front derailleur into a higher harder gear, it takes such force input that it affects the steering a wee bit.
