Eh, less than enthusiastic about wrapping up the Pittsburgh week. Anyway, we had to work until literally the last minute. Adam thankfully changed to a later flight; Turner ended up taking him to the airport so I could keep on working. And I didn't get finished til 6 p.m. on Sunday and that didn't even include caulking the moulding, so it kind of looks like crap. Not happy about that.
I finished a bunch of the moulding after they left as well as getting rid of the moulding we tore out. Keep in mind that it's in 10' sections or so, but since I hastily bought a chop saw on Sunday morning, I made quick work of it, cutting it into sections and then tossing it out. It took me a full hour just to clean, sweep and get all the tools into the car -- and some crap into the storage closet.
I got home at midnight and went to work the next day. I was sore for the early part of the week.
The next weekend we went to Louisville to see the brother and his family. They moved there the weekend I was in Pittsburgh. It's a really short -- just over 2 hours -- drive from here, so I'm thrilled about that.
The week after that (this past week) was hotter than anything here. No bike riding, sadly. Much sitting around inside. Early this week it was fairly warm, but finally, today, Wednesday! And it's nice out. Or nicer. I rode in this morning. I didn't change the flat tire, instead opting to chance the slimed tire. Oh well. I have two extra tubes on me. I still don't have a computer, so I'm guessing again it took about an hour to cover the 15-odd miles. I'm hoping to make the rest of this week in on bike as well.
On MyCyclingLog, they have a goal-setting feature. I figured that doing the equivalent distance from Indy to San Francisco might be fun. And I'm already 23% of the way there! So I need to average 12-ish miles a day until 12/31 to achieve the goal. Each commuting day is 30 miles, and September and October should be filled with some prime riding action.
Actually, let's see, about 1760 miles remains. Four commuting days a week is 120 miles. So, eh, about 15 weeks. Then again, if I do a few rides on the weekends, that'll pad the total nicely.
