Dad got a new bicycle recently, which provided a good lesson on the meaning and value of bartering services for goods.
A couple of months ago, Dad did some work for a local guy who owns a bike shop; in return for his work, Dad got to pick out exactly the bike he wanted (to augment his already sizable collection). It was a good trade and Dad is an even happier guy than usual!
Bring on biking season! I got a new bike too this March (thanks Grandma and Grandpa) and have been training so I reach my goal of being able to go on bike rides with Dad soon.
