Finally biking again. Finally got my cetma rack installed. Got a rear quick release skewer, but that ended up being too big, then got the bright idea to just swap out front skewers with the xtracycle, which worked like a charm. So I'm rocking a front porteur style rack, took off the rear Wald folding metal baskets, but kept the Tubus Cargo, and bungie my Tom Bihn Ristretto to the front and strap my Arkel TailRider to the back and off I go to work. Works well. When I bring Lucy in the mornings I double fist it, BOB Revolution on the left, and the Sprint on the right, held and steered by the stem. Then I get to jet down the Lake Front Path. So much harder than cruising through the city, since it's non-stop. Like night and day. Makes me crave a real road bike. Oh well. Good exercise. Which is good. Since we're headed to Mexico in a couple of weeks. And the cheesecake my mom gave us for Easter, which I ended up eating, didn't help at all. Reread Ready Player One, still a fun read. Started up the Percy Jackson books again, partly because I watched the movie and also wanted some more fluff to read. Lost my sunglasses, which is annoying. Brought Lucy to Green City Market last Saturday, but parking was really bad, so got frustrated driving around, then she wanted to chase the ducks and geese, but I just wanted to get to the market to get some fiadone's from Zullo's, and ended up they weren't even there, and at some point I put my hood up over the sunglasses on my head, and at the end of the day, realized I no longer had them. That was a good 3 or so years for those, which is actually pretty good for me. So now have to get another pair. Probably another pair of Smiths. ANd probably shouldn't just buy them from Amazon, or at least, wait until I try them on somewhere.
