on a really busy schedule these days so I booked out of the house early (no food in the house so I figured I'd grab breakfast someplace on the way in) got 1 1/2 miles down the road and my chain broke. Whipped out my tools and pulled out the chain tool and it just would not pop the rivet. So I had to walk back home.

Grabbed my folder, which I haven't tuned up since I returned from Europe, and headed out the door. The front brake rubbed the whole ride in, the derailleur was out of adjustment, batteries dead in the front light. Got to work but no breakfast.

Moved on to the next location and got out about 9:30p. Got some batteries for the light (size N??!- had to go to two places before I got them) and rode home. Actually, even with the rubbing brake the folder moves along.

I survived.
