That feeling you get as you slide into bed, after a good #MondaysOff with a fun edition of #MondayRitual, only to remember that load of laundry that is waiting done in the dryer & the second that is ready for the dryer, but both are down in the basement.

Welp, no #sleepinSunday this week. Even heading to the shop earlier than normal for Bicycle Swap KC. Ideally it will be a good day. See ya there!

Feeling like today is an odd edition of backwards day. Ordered a cup of coffee in a “for here” cup since I’m a 1/2 hour early then they put the #thankquad in a to go cup. Bonus, now it’s pouring & my rain jacket is in the bike bag. #yayfun #biketoworkKC

Well that’s a new one. Got to the City Market for the #biketoworkKC #fixedgearFriday #thankquad (so many hashtags!) to discover a young lady wearing a horse mask doing an interpretive dance while filming herself & singing. Glad she’s having a good time on a Friday morning!

Not sure what some drivers think they are accomplishing with a close pass while laying on their horn. But I certainly hope they look in their rear view mirrors to see me smiling and waving. Oh, and occasionally the middle finger. #biketoworkKC

I’m not a gamer but I support this concept. #TikTok tiktok.com/t/ZTBm3v3JV/

I guess the upside to being close passed by a school bus is that it wasn’t full of children being shown a bad example. #MondaysOff #IbikeKC

After a more or less successful #fixedgearFriday was pondering bicycle choices for the Saturday morning #biketoworkKC when I realized, yet again, that it is really morning zeke’s decision to make & Friday night zeke just needs to get some sleep. #seemsreasonable

Ended up working late to finish up some things and then do some much needed cleaning & rearranging items around the shop. Tasty leftovers for dinner at 10 PM on the #tinycouch is still a tasty dinner no matter the time. #bicycleshoplife #WBB

Listen religious weirdo, you seem nice enough but I’m not your brother, no we weren’t waiting with stuff for you cause we didn’t know you were coming, & no shit the wooden pillars in the building used to be trees. Everything wood was. #JFC #bicycleshoplife Haha

Don’t be the mark but for many of you it’s to late and we all are paying the price #TikTok tiktok.com/t/ZTBAFatG4/

#SleepinSunday is still a thing but walking up at 6am due to a thunderstorm is alright. Now if I also had a cuddle buddy… ah well.

Broke a sweat getting rain gear on only to not need it at all & was just getting sweaty cause it was on. Ah well. #cyclistlife #biketoworkKC #fixedgearFriday #thankquad #CityMarketCoffee

Did a little exploring of the newish downtown KC protected bicycle lanes while soft pedaling home on a moist #ThirstyThursday

My new #housemate said today that she liked that I still did #MondayRitual although the crew I started doing it with however long ago have quit going. So to combat the minor depression that started surfacing in my brain earlier, I’m there.

Well alrighty then. Been expecting #fixedgearFriday to be a wet one. Guess that’s changed and the rain has moved out of the area. May have to switch which #fixedgear gets used for #ridetoworkridehome

Random thought of the day. Wonder if whichever clown I worked with in Iowa that used to complain to our boss about my Twitter posts still follows me?

Granted I suspect he was one of the mechanics that spent more time complaining about a former employee &/or the work that the sales staff & customers asked to be done than actually doing any of the work. #bicycleshoplife
