Check Up


Interior: Filthy. Remnants of dirt, dog hair, and even a few boxes left over from job move.

Exterior: Filthy. Old bird poop mixed with redwood needles and dust from driving down too many dirt roads.

Windshield: Crack has officially reached terminal status on both ends, encompassing entire windshield and offering an annoying blinding glare in the sun.

Tires: Passenger rear tire only holds air for about 4 days. Must keep a small bag of quarters handy for constant refill.

Oil Change: Oil change now 1,000 miles overdue. I think. Give or take a few thousand miles.

Maintenance Light: Some random maintenance light has been on for a while now. A long while.


Cycling Training Plan: Right on target.

It occurs to me--that little grey box you drive MUST have a name....which would help explain the apparent teeny bit of guilt over his/her/its neglect...

Its a good thing your training plan is on target cuz you just might need to pull your bike out of the toaster and ride home.

I haven't washed my mini in months, its dirty dirty blue.
