I almost drove to work today
It’s been a good month. The last time I pumped gas into my Tacoma was sometime
in October @$2.89/Gal. I had the snow tires put on and the oil changed in mid November At the same time we did my wife’s Camry. I try to change the oil on our vehicles every 3000 miles and I just turned the 3000 mile mark on the pickup as I drove it into the lot at the shop. That’s only 3000 miles since April. I guess the point I’m driving at here is I don’t drive all that much anymore. I’ve managed to ride the Trek into work every day this month, so far. Well this morning I overslept by about ten minutes. I’m amazed I didn’t sleep longer but that’s a whole other long boring story. My first sense was one of guilt for needing to drive to work instead of pedaling in, but the more I though about it while stumbling around in the dark trying to get dressed without waking up the bride, the more resolved I became to taking the Trek anyway. The Tacoma is way back in the driveway behind the Camry and the old Caprice that my daughter is using for a couple of days. I guess you know you’re hooked on commuting when it seems easier to bike five and a half miles than it is to move two cars out of the way and then put them back again. Anyway, I rode the Trek, arrived at work on time and had a most pleasant ride in. It was almost 40 degrees F with little to no wind. The roads were wet but the rain had temporarily stopped and didn’t restart until I was snuggly at work. I think I saw two cars on the way in. Now, if I can just make it through December…. |
One trip at a time eh? :D

So everything goes wrong- All the others have their cars parked in the wrong place- and you accomodate them.
Haven't you ever watched Grumpy old men? Get them out of bed and moan at them all the time. Mind you- I suppose its all your fault for getting up late. |
