This morning I drove to the car repair
place to pick up Leroy who drove the car needing some work. Luckily the repair
bill will not be over the top amount we would pay. However we might have felt
obligated to pay it anyway because it was a corroded fuel line that needed
replacing. Somehow that just seems so necessary.
Leroy also had some adjustments made
to his bike so that it is more comfortable for him to ride. That was at the
shop so I picked him after work and took him to the bike shop. They were quite
busy consequently it took a while. I passed the time by meditating and
observing people. Finally he came back out and told me he would ride the bike
home. It was only about four miles so it was not a long trip, but he tells me
that some of the hills were a bit daunting fortunately the wind was blowing him
along more than slowing him down.
If he had had the bike he could have
ridden it to work for the car drop off in the morning. I am just thankful that
all of the distances in this small city are so easily managed. I do like the
size of this place.
Hopefully everything will work for a
few weeks before we have to consider another repair. Leroy is looking for a
rack to put on his bike, since it is a used bike he would like to find a used
rack, but so far that has not happened. However, one never knows when the perfect
item will come along often when one least expects it to happen.
We still look to replace the car that
we just had repaired, but now there is again no pressure to buy right away. Leroy
is hoping the rain will diminish so he can just ride his bike most days. That also
helps to put the car question more out of mind.
