But I biked on Wednesday. It was a real nice ride to work, that is, untill some BLONDE in a a RED car ran the STOP SIGN in front of 7/11 and nearly hit me. I said a curse word. And I was wearing the SCREAMING YELLOW/GREEN jacket, too!
On the way home, coasting at GREAT SPEED down Jackson drive (in the bike lane), looking out for SUV who were quite active in the area, what with little league and such, some OLD MAN with a tiny DOG jaywalks across Jackson. Slowly. Taking his time. So I'm merrily NOT slowing down, and so we almost meet. He says, "Excuse me, sir". I said, " No problem, I'm only going 30 miles an hour down this hill and watching for SUVs because I almost got doored in this exact spot last week." Well, I didn't say all that, and of course I wasn't going 30.
After I came home I went in for a few minutes then went out to garage and noticed the rear tire on the Jamis was soft, and soon enough it was flat. Had a tiny chuck of metal sticking out of it. How nice to wait untill I got home to go flat!
There several neat cars I see as I travel to work. I shall have to take pictures sometime. There is a Volkswagen 2-door Variant sedan (I think), there are two Morris Minors, one is a pick-up. I wonder if that is the one Philip used to tell me about with the Alfa-Romero engine in it that he drove around for Tolley's? Just yesterday there appeared a Delorean with a For Sale sign on it, and today I saw an Edsel near the gas station.
The floor pump hose project is coming along. I filed away on the brass fittings and it looks good. I just have to solder the fitting together. I'm hoping solder will hold against 100psi air...
