Got the car into a transmission shop today. Found out the part I really need is no longer available. Fortunately a repair of the switch under the shifter was jury rigged and I got back to where I was staying. Lack of parts for cars over 15 years old is becoming an increasing problem. HopefullyContinue reading “Car got fixed, sort of.”

Long Weekend
I took all the vacation time I had and started a long weekend this morning. I couldn’t have picked a better time, either. Not only is Tulsa Tough going on this weekend, but my boss is due to come back tomorrow night. She is going to have to start by terminating a couple of employeesContinue reading “Long Weekend”
Neewollah peaks
With the food vendors and carnival rides arriving in Indy, traffic will be relatively high in the downtown area for the next three nights. Unfortunately, I will have to deal with it going to work. With Maple St. closed for construction, Main St. is the only practical option to get to work. I could rideContinue reading “Neewollah peaks”
Fall has arrived
Temperatures have finally fallen to the 80s with overnight lows in the 50s. It is time to plant fall crops in the overwinter beds. It is time to get on the bike as well.
Hurry rain, hurry
The long term forecast calls for rain, maybe even enough to lower our drought status. The next three days are supposed to be sunny and cooler especially in the mornings. Tomorrow might be the last chance to ride the bike to work for a couple of weeks.
Car up
I tried to call for a tow this morning, but my cell phone died. I rode the bike home to charge the phone. I got a ride back to town and called for a tow. The driver figured out what was wrong and didn’t charge. A lot of problems solved.
Breakdown
I ran several errands this morning. I just finished my last one when my car would not start. I had a 10 mile walk home. I finally got a ride for the last mile just when it really got hot. I was thinking about riding the bike tonight, now that decision has been made forContinue reading “Breakdown”
Shaking off the rust.
For the first time in two weeks, I got on the bike. I took my monthly trip in town to pay bills and actually got to the bank right before they opened. After my doctor’s appointment, I got on the bike and struggled a bit getting back. Still I rode 20 miles and with anContinue reading “Shaking off the rust.”
Tulsa Tough after party
This was my sixth year driving the supply truck for the Fondo racers at Tulsa Tough. The week after there is a thank you party for all of the volunteers. Because I had to work, I never got to attend one before tonight. The burgers from McNellies were outstanding. I got to catch up withContinue reading “Tulsa Tough after party”
Cherry Picking
I considered riding the bike to work last night. The temperature was at the upper end of the range I would consider riding in. Unfortunately I slept too late to ride. Tonight won’t work because I have to get groceries tomorrow morning when I get off work. I have a doctor’s appointment Wednesday, so IContinue reading “Cherry Picking”
