Friday PM


Walk around town. Then dancing, drinks and fine company. Wonderful Friday I can easily say.

Thursday AM



The new schedule is leading my "weekend" to be Tuesday and Wednesdays. My choice. If I need a weekend off like a normal American (Sat/sun) I just need to ask for it. This gives me time during the week to ride when I need, and shop hours on the weekend are 10-5/12-5 instead of 10-7. So I see that I'm giving myself 6 hours of non-work by working weekends.

Wow that was a tangent. Anyways. This week is a bit out of whack for weekend time because of a beloved visitor coming to town. Friday and Saturday off. Sunday I go back to the normal grind. The original, original plan was to be in California for SSWC this weekend. Changes planned and budget, time and schooling just didn't lend to that.

Am I still excited bout this new life? Yes. I'm really pumped still about the new gig of school and shop life. Just need to get back to routine for a schedule. Watch the blog for more info on that.

To all you that keep commenting. Thank you. Off to drink my morning joe and hustle off to work.

Commutage


Been commuting to work a few days a week. Catch the bus 5 blocks from the house, get dropped off 25 miles north in Davidson, NC (Famed for the small basketball team that went to the sweet 16 last year.) Ride 5 miles to work, then do the opposite going home. $1.30 one way, that's cheaper than a half of a gallon of gas.

It's catch 22 because I haven't been riding on the dirt because of it. So I'm starting a Monday night mountain ride with one of the guys from the shop. Gets me riding and back with the community like I like.

Changes


There have been changes going on in the world of Arleigh. School, work, living and riding. Started schooling back up this fall to hopefully achieve my bachelors in Art one day. Working back in a shop north of Charlotte. A good place, good people and workable to my crazy schedule. Updates will get better here and there. Finding a routine and getting out of the life rutt.

Friday AM

Later bus route. Saves an hour, just lose some lunch minutes. Ready to
roll and the Salsa had a flat. Time to call the Lemond into service.
Handlebar setup does not favor a 5 lb laptop on your back.
