My pedal wrench worked for the first time, 20 years after I bought

My pedal wrench worked for the first time.

It was only recently that I saw a few description "PARK TOOL RW1 USA". As it's a tool of more than 20 years ago, there are already new similar tool like Park Tool HCW-6, which is head sets and pedal wrench.

I had gotten it 22 years ago, when I bought my previous bicycle, a cross bike, a half year after I entered university. I got it in order to remove the pedals when I pack the bike. However, I couldn't remove them by myself, for that cross bike until finally I got rid of it last year. Soon after I got my road bike.

Recently I have been thinking that I want to install binding pedal system some time next year, and I want to remove and install by myself, and I was thinking it's a good idea to try on my current flat pedals.

It was very hard, at first, to remove the pedals, because they become much harder with rust, so I used lubricant on the screw, then gripped the wrench with crank in the direction each pedal will be loosened. Finally I made it in removing the pedals.

This time I reinstalled the same pedal after I greased on their screws.
Probably the next time will be in a half year when I get my new SPD pedals and shoses.

Slow Burst

My mental state is near burst. I sometimes make strange noises myself when I feel as if my brain were going to burst.

Even now, while I'm thinking that standard social skills in business scenes is worth learning, I scream to myself getting mad when I learn them.  Isn't just shaving my beards enough to be a salesperson? Am I going to be disadvantaged forever because the skin of my face and my head is too dry? This is one reason why I thought that I wanted to escape my country when I was 11 and 25. This made me learn some foreign language. However, I'm learning that overseas isn't so good as I dream about, especially as long as I go to public school. W...

It's my lack of confidence that is to be beaten

Autism, is it something to be removed? Or is it just another type of human being? I can't answer to this question. I, as you see, have language, and have a job. Although my struggles are real as well, I hear that there are a lot of cases of struggles many thousand times than mine. Ones who don't have language, or with serious behavioral problem. Although my behavioral problems, mainly social awkwardness, I can't answer the question whether autism is something that should be beaten. Instead, I can answer one question. I have to beat my lack of confidence through long struggles, if I want to succeed.
