Full crank mode activated 😡
The sun is shining and I’m taking the SuperDuty to work today, because I need to go to grocery store – or probably Wally World – but also I need to get gas (POVERTY Alert!!) and the worse place on all the earth – the biker store with all the tranvesites.
I’ve come to the sad realization that probably the best place to get a replacement rear-derailuer for my bike is the biker store, 🚲 you know all the skinny tranvesite men who will set you parts at a 80% mark up, but also looking at Amazon and EBay, getting authentic parts that are broken China crap is harder then kissing a rattlesnake and living a long life. 🐍
I hate driving to work more then I should 🛻 especially when I have to go get fuel ⛽ because guess what the Iran War is back on suckers, and you’re going to pay for it through the anus. Used more gas then I would have hoped up north, but I did drive a lot of rough, slow miles in my ginormous SuperDuty truck 🚛 up in the Adirondacks. I’m not saying I didn’t have fun but shit is so goddamn expensive these days. 💵
It’s good I need stuff my pantry, 🛒 which is severely depleted. I believe I should be able to get my bike back on the road this weekend assuming the bike shop has a derailuer or if not, I’ll order one online, and take my chances on it being a fake product. ⚙️ Return beer cans ♻️. I was actually looking how little trash I have over the past year after all the crap is burned up. 🔥 Last night I was a proposed transfer station in the heart of the Albany Pine Bush, yes another, as apparently dumping garbage for cheap is a constitutional right. But what do I know, I use the illegal landfill in the sky and only really recycle metals. 🦋 I tell you the fight for the Pine Bush is never ending. Just one planing board after another.
I’ll be happy as a pig 🐷 in shit once I get my bike running again, but now it’s so goddamn frustrating, especially having to fight traffic to drive to work today. But it’s a good day to avoid the Plaza because they have the concert today, and maybe the biker shop will have the part I need for not an insane price. I have set a budget of $50 for a replacement derailuer – it appears the authentic piece retails online for about $30 and knock-offs cheaper. Also I think I want to invest in an authentic quick link install/remove tool so I can reuse the quick link on chain and have easier chain installs 🔗 without problems with the damaging the quick link the next chain I get. I hate hassles of bike maintance but it beats taking the bus 🚐 – it’s so local the yokel bus – or even worse driving the gas guzzling ginarmous truck to the suburban office complex next to the old city dump and wastewater treatment plant with acres of parking. 🅿️
Truth is I just want to be back in the wilderness, 🐺 but this weekend I really need to get that bike back on the road, and clean out Big Red, set a price and get him listed. I need the money from the old truck, and I want to get him off my parents lawn and out of my mind. Ready to move on with the SuperDuty. 🚛 Also need to reschedule my dentist appointment 🦷 which was canceled for today, and it looks like after testing that Xy-cd60 module module I managed to jam up by pushing buttons when I was camping, I am going to have to chuck in a fire 🔥 next time I am in the woods and order a another unit this morning. They aren’t that expensive, but it’s still another expense. And I do want to wire up another guage for the starting battery 🔋 and an LED indicator to show when the accessory batteries – solar is tied to the starting batteries – alternator.
