....which is not bad compared to most of you but..... my car's in the shop, I took the day off Tuesday had a bunch of errands related to my Mom's moving from what used to be the family farm to a smaller place in town but they said it'd be done by the end of the day...nope...so called in and took another day off (got plenty but HATE to waste them on anything not fun related) rode to the mechanics, 5:30 came...went..."20-30 minutes tops, we'll be done" ....6:30 they said they can't finish, I think they just wanted to go home so invented an excuse.

They drove me and the bike back home and *&^# it, too late at that point to call in for another day off so.....riding to work today. The weather is quite nice now, we'll have rain after Christmas but it's not the weather it's the dark.

The sun will just be peeking up as I clip in and will be up by the time I roll into BART. I take side streets and bike lanes all the way and I'm clothed in bright yellow but I have no lights on either of my bikes so not normally a thing I'd do till maybe March when it's lighter at both ends of the day.

There's a nice bike shop down the street on Lakeshore near my work I've been meaning to check out so guess where I'm going at lunch?
