I wasn't going to buy anything, just wanted to enter a contest to possibly win a prize. Wife claimed we couldn't afford the fuel it would have taken to go enter said contest- then proceeds to order Papa John's- which easily cost 2x what the fuel would've cost.

My bike is in another shop for a tune-up. Something that a lot here can do. But I'm not the most mechanically inclined person and my wife, justifiably, questioned every bike related expenditure- even before the finances got to be so rough. She claims we don't have the money to pay for it, but I have talked to them and paid for half of the amount owed from my last check. They are working with me, but I also realize that they are running a business and can't store my bike for free forever.

I want my bike to help facilitate the in the job search. I'm to the point where I'll even work food service again. But the prime times to apply or either from 0800-1100 or 1400-1600. I'm not insured to drive the Jeep, my wife generally doesn't go to bed until 0400, and I have to home by 1530 for the kids. I don't mind walking, but the bike will allow me to cover more ground in the mornings while she's sleeping.
