Yeah, I’m a big blogging slacker. This week has actually been pretty busy at work, so tomorrow I’ll be thinking TGIFF, meaning Thank God It’s Fake Friday. Because we have Friday off. So cool. We all keep talking about plans. I think some Ronald Reagan Memorial Laying-By-The-Pool may be in order for moi.
Chris ended up joining Becca, Jason and me for the trip up to REI last night, so we all had a grand old time. Jason bought boots (the same ones he originally tried on over a month ago, which made me laugh), Becca bought a whole slew of stuff in last-minute preparation for the weekend trip to Colorado, and I bought a bike rack for my car. Actually, the bike rack came from Sun & Ski Sports, after REI was sold out of the one I originally wanted. I’m starting to really like Sun & Ski, as every time I can’t find something elsewhere, I always find it there. I should really consider going to them first, I suppose.
Anyway. Sun & Ski was having a 20% off sale that included all their Yakima bike racks and accessories. I had been planning on buying a rack that was $160, but ended up buying a nicer rack that, with the discount, was still $160. It’s nicer in the sense that the arms that hold the bikes fold down, as well as the rack folding out to allow you to open the back door. (The cheaper rack had arms that didn’t fold). I also bought a discounted hitch lock, so now I can lock the rack to my hitch, and the bikes to the rack.
It’s all very cool, and now we have the means to get three bikes and four people to Austin this weekend in a single car. Joy. Little things like bike racks make me happy.
