I read this edition of the Pandemic Diaries when it was only seventeen minutes old but just found the time to actually make a comment. A fine update you made in this entry and wonderful photos. For the record, we have your second season year round down here most years; not bragging or complaining, just stating a fact.
Can't wait to see the new rims, I'm a fan of "all original" but sometimes it makes sense to upgrade like in the case of the wheels. Plus older sizes of tires seem to be getting harder to find as years go by.
I have a Schwinn tandem bike from the early '60's that is in fair shape that some day I need to fully restore but it is far down on the list right now. The wife and I used to ride it when we first got married but when the kids came it got put into retirement, it has been at least 22 years since we have ridden it.
Have a great weekend friend,
Sult
