Sometimes I think I need to concentrate on a certain area for this blog, but there are so many options! I could go on and on about the little bike rides Dale and I take (and the lack of sidewalks) or I could wax poetic about car stuff but that gets old pretty quick and nobody cares. I could even post all of my amazing attempts at getting organized and still not accomplishing any organization.
Being random just suits me so much better! I keep seeing all of these blogs with an actual purpose, but then I get to thinking that I've gotten this far by just doing what I do in the world and not caring about how everyone is doing the same project.
But to overview my life lately... Work, bike rides, work, dishes, work, cleaning, work and a DVD or two. And I'm still broke! Oh well, such is life. You can't take it with you, so what's the major concern, right?

Today turned out to be a pretty great day!
Dale had to go to the junk yard to "shop" for parts for the new car. He pretty much found what he was looking for and brought it home. He got home just as I was waking up and we spent the rest of the afternoon together.
He needed new pedals for his bike since his broke, so we went to the bike store then went to the park to test out the new pedals. We ended up biking TEN miles! We rode from the park by our house to a nature center in an adjacent park. It turned out that we got there about five minutes before they closed, so we decided to go check it out really quick.
It was a cool little place and had the absolute best entry area ever! You had to stay on the concrete path because otherwise you might step on one of the birds or turtles that hang out in there. Yes! We counted five turtles and two flightless birds in that foyer area. Seriously the best entryway area ever!
We kept wandering until Dale realized that one of his tires was losing air. At that point we headed back to the truck and almost made it halfway back before the tire went flat. Walking bikes for almost a mile is no fun... We ended up finding some sort of sharp little object in there and replaced the tube.
I guess it turned out to be a bunch of little ups and downs, but I really enjoyed today. Sometimes I just get to the point that I miss hanging out with Dale and simply being able to spend the afternoon together just makes my day. Tomorrow he is off again, so maybe we can continue this little trend.

New addition to the fleet!
So in the quest for a fuel-sipper, Dale found a Daytona that needs some love. It needs a bunch of smaller things, but it's a turbo 4 cylinder. It's fun to drive (or so I hear) and should get really great mileage! I'm really hopeful about this project. It may actually stick around!
