Mars Landing Monday (2012.08.06) ...

cd34 · 2012-08-06, 12:09 PM

Went to go bike riding, didn't want to miss 'The Network', after that ended, walked the dog, rain rolled in. Once the rain cleared up, I thought, I won't make it back in time to see the Mars landing, so, I won't ride tonight. Watched the Mars landing, decided to at least put in a few miles, mounted up on the bike, something didn't feel right, rear tire was flat.

172.4 miles from brand new to flat. I can't see anything on the tire that caused a problem, the tube has a slow leak. So, I figured, I'll grab my spare that I carry with me - it has a hole and leaks quicker than the other tube. Grabbed my patch kit which I haven't used in 20+ years, glue is hard as a rock.

I'm glad the flat happened at home, though, I'm sure I could have pumped the tire up and at least gotten home as it had felt soft the day before. So, off to the store to buy a new tube and a new patch kit.

Hope everyone has a good Monday.

Morning all!

Just finished my first free site building, listening to some calm meditation music on Pandora. Might switch it to trance, but since Jim didn't go to bed until 8am, I like to give him time to get asleep before the bass starts thumping through the wall.

(my office shares the wall with the closet for our bedroom)

Nothing planned today but porn. Took the day off yesterday and cleaned house, worked in the greenhouse, and lazed around and read so feel fresh and motivated for work.

Have a great one all!
