Last week we stopped by the bicycle shop in Saginaw, it was closed. So this week, Jay's certain that this specialty store is open, he wrote down their hours so he'd remember.
Today's mission is to stop by the bicycle shop to get some work done. What's wrong? If I asked, I probably wouldn't understand anyway. It has something to do with the lights.
I'm riding along to the city, taking a good book to read while I wait in the truck. Standing around in the bike shop for an hour, not my cup of tea:)

I can't blame you. I'd stay in the truck, too. But, at least bicycle shops smell better than waiting rooms at car dealerships. The smell of tires is nauseating.

It's beautiful today, only 77 degrees. Reading in the truck will bring enjoyment.

@kobesbuddy It's 73°F with light rain right now. I was going to talk the day off from walking (the usual 5 miles) today, but walked a mile round trip to The UPS Store and back, so a while later, I walked another mile and a half. Depending pon how I feel later, I may walk the additional 2.5 miles (to get in a full five miles) after dark.

@Chellezhere Didn't you get knee surgery, about a year ago?

I'm not patient, just waiting around is torture for me.

That's my biggest problem now. My eyes don't have the stamina for books, I hate audiobooks, and I don't like earplugs or headphones in/on my ears when I have to listen for my name.

A device he has needed to be recalibrated. It calculates his speed and how many miles he rides.

I make sure I always have a book in the car too. I get impatient if I don't have something to do.

Jay had to get a device recalibrated, which didn't cost anything:)

Jay has a device that needed to be re-calibrated. Then, it keeps track of his speed and miles traveled.

Lights are important. I used to love to ride my mountain bike. Rode it all over. So nice to have one in working order.
