Day: December 12, 2024

Nice morning, I would have probably ridden in had I had my lock and wasn’t bringing my laptop back into the office.

That sun ☀️ is nice streaming in through the bus 🚍 windows. All night into the morning I was feeling a bit achy and I didn’t sleep well 💤 for no reason in particular, maybe it was the screen time I spent into the evening at the library. Honest I wasn’t abusing caffeine ☕ yesterday, just had my usual percolator pot of coffee and none of caffeine pills or the office coffee. I’ve been having some issues with the jitters lately plus I didn’t want to get so jacked up while my big jacked up truck was getting inspected. 🛻🔍

I was noticing in a picture of my bike 🚲 I took on Saturday that my lock 🔒 was missing so that cuts the search 🔍 area down on Saturday. I plan to get out and look early Saturday morning. Going to be cool but by then it looks the rail trail should be mostly free of ice. ⛸️ Riding in this morning probably still would have meant hitting some ice, though probably not the rough crap I was riding on day. I actually think I remember taking the lock off and putting it in the basket which probably means it’s at home, 🧺or maybe in my truck. If not, if I need to replace it’s I’m just going to go with a heavy security chain and a standard lock – I don’t park downtown any more and I’m less worried about theft at my suburban office where the bike rack is clearly visible to security.

Glad my car inspection is done. 😀 No costly mandated repairs required at least right away. 🔧 They didn’t flag anything at all. It’s good, I should now be able to get away at least after Christmas, though I’m also thinking I might do a day trip or an overnight before Christmas. I am going to take off the week after Christmas, I’m considering going out to the Finger Lakes but I’m not fully decided on that point. It’s kind of a long trip, and thw weather can be dicey this time of year.
