Life on two wheels
Yesterday Dawnise and I went over to Seattle for breakfast at the Crumpet shop. Edmond joined us, and we had a nice conversation over our tea and crumpets.
After breakfast we went to Bed Bath and Beyond and spent a killobuck on window treatments for our bedroom, the guest room, and the front facing room in the house. (I've got my work cut out for me for a while...) Popped up to a furniture place to look for bookshelves for the library (found some, didn't love the price) and finished up with a trip to Costco before catching the ferry home.
It had been raining on and off in the morning, but cleared in the afternoon and by the time we got to the Bainbridge side around 6, it was beautiful. And thanks to daylight savings, it was still bright out.
Dawnise forced me (I'm not kidding) to take the RS out for a ride. I wanted to take the Trophy, but it's battery had died (again - which tells me I'm not riding enough) and it wasn't finished reconditioning.
I went down to Winslow and gassed up the RS, and hit the road north - across the Agate Pass bridge and a few miles up the road before I decided that the joy of being back on the bike was significantly muted by Dawnise not being with me.
But the fact remains, I'd taken my first ride as a resident of WA.
And it was really nice.
I decided to take the Trophy into work this morning -so I'm sitting on the ferry in my First Gear pants; jacket hanging on a hook across from me and helmet just to my left.
Now I've really gotta get Dawnise's bike happy. No more excuses...
