So yesterday Dana and talked about getting a a 5$ bike. After work I went to Goodwill to look for one. I was walking around the store when I heard a whisper in my ear. I turned in s l o w motion and saw it. Angels sang, a bright light surrounded it. An adult sized bike in the back storage room! Just when my eyes caught it a woman walked out the door. I asked her about it and she said to wait and someone would price it for me. I waited, pacing, for 5 minutes and then it was brought out. Brought right into my grubby hands. It was beautiful. Flat tires, rust in the right places, no kickstand. But it worked and the brakes were good and it was tall enough. Plus it was only 10$! I bought it, and squished it into my car using some magic I call folding seats and determination. After I picked Dana up for work we bought new tires, WD-40, Duct tape, and an air pump and were on our way. We had to call my brother and Garrett, plus consult the internet to see how to change the tires but we did it!
Together Bike + Self Healing Tires = 25$ Bike!
We rode around on it yesterday like dorks. I remembered how and didn't even get hurt! The last time I tried to ride a bike I fell and cut my foot. I am so excited. Dana also got a skateboard from Garrett because he didn't want it.
Dana rode the bike to work today and now I am waiting on her to get home so I can ride it. :)
In other news . . . I READ THE NEWS! Sort of.
Ashley gave me a link to
http://www.reddit.com and I like it. It puts the news in a more manageable form.
Here are some things I thought were interesting today:
Turtle PowerStem cells repair brain damageThe English language is going down the tubesNaked at the airportBetter bionic limbsPigs are dirty and this is sadStupid Science Fair It took me about an hour and a half to get bored of the news. I don't know if I read anything worthwhile though. Well see. Ill just have to read different sites different days and then ill get a range of stuff I think.
Well I am planning on starting an erotic story today. One of the goals on my list of 101 things in 1001 days (
Here) is to submit a story to
BME or
Bella Vendetta. Dana is excited because she just wants to see me writing again. We will see if this works out.
Speaking of goals Dana and I went swimming yesterday and rode the bike/skateboard, which is good for activity level. We are supposed to work out today and ride the bike/skateboard and stuff. w00t!
Ok I'm off to do whatever.
Out.
