She has a great car with only 64,000 miles. I loved the 96 Corolla I had until a few years ago, got up to 200,000+ miles. They just keep going. And a sweet deal. I always had to pay insurance, gas and repairs. The benefit was we owned the garage and parts were at cost and repairs were done by me. Man it was tough when I moved and had no tools, no lift and no way to reasonably service the car. Labor and parts get pricey.


The commute was nice this morning. Wet, but not rainy until the last little bit it started to rain/mist more.

i did my clothes run last night and this morning, so I was a bit more laden down. I only wash my pants and shirts every three to four weeks (I wear undershirts and underwear and a lab coat), so they stay clean. I also have a place to hang them on a hanger every night. So I spent the evening laundering and pressing all my clothes. I cannot wait until NCIS comes back on; I find it very relaxing to iron, watch NCIS and have a beer; I also try to plan it when my wife is at yoga and the boy is in bed. When I got to work though they were all wrinkled a bit more than normal, I roll them and they rarely are too wrinkled. I figure they will fall out over the weekend; not that it matters I dress better than I need to and I can use the excuse I bike to work as to why they are wrinkled.

The ride was uneventful, which is good. I have felt rather tired all week also.
