I’m waiting for glue to dry. I hope your job is as exciting as mine. I’m waiting on other people who are busy today and available sometime next week for other things. So until then, I get to wait for glue to dry. If it dries soon then I can do tests. Then make more samples and wait for glue to dry some more.
Yesterday I spent several hours working on my bike. I replaced the front derailleur ( That word is very hard to spell) and the rear inner tube and tire. It sounds so easy. But it wasn’t. I have many gouges in my fingers from trying to get my stupid bike apart and put back together again. However, I did it all by myself with no help except from my cats (and really, their help amounted to getting in the way and smearing grease on my carpet). The result is that my rear inner tube hopefully won’t be going slowly flat every day, I have mismatched front and rear tires, and I can now shift between either 2nd and 3rd gear or 1st and 2nd gear in the front. I need to fiddle with it some more to see if I can get it to shift all three, but I think its range just isn’t quite right. There’s too big of a gap between 1st and 2nd. And I was too tired to work on it more. I meant to replace the front tire too, but it was 10:15 and my fingers hurt from trying to wrestle the first new tire off of its old rim (It was Ken’s from before he replaced his wheels. Hope he doesn’t want it back!). My old tires weren’t completely destroyed yet, but they were starting to develop cracks in the sides, and I figured since I would have to take it mostly off to get at the inner tube, I might as well replace it. Perhaps this weekend I’ll change out the front wheel.
I was supposed to look at an apartment today for 350, but the guy just called and canceled. It is over a restaurant on Mayfield, so I can’t imagine that it is the quietest place ever. I have two viewings scheduled tomorrow, and I have no idea if the place that I liked so much is still available. I think I’ll call him this afternoon to find out. One viewing is at 10, then there’s a book sale that starts at noon, and the other viewing’s at 4:30. I was going to go to the art museum too to see the armor. Maybe I’ll come in to work for a while because I don’t really want to bike up and down the hill six times.
Besides, that way the glue can dry overnight and I don’t have to sit around and wait for it.
