double flat and rain.

more rain last night...the storm front arrived at almost the same precise moment i left work...the rain followed soon after. it blew through relatively fast so i was able to put the bike costume on and try to ride for 90 minutes or so. well, my rear tire had a little something to say about that. i got to about the furthest point away from home for the loop i was riding when i noticed my tire starting to go soft. no worries, i'll pull over here and fix it up quick like. it'll be good practice. so i tried to make sure the inner casing of the tire was clean...new tube and a relatively easy fill up with co2 and i'm off 5 minutes later (ok so it was more like 10). riding home after a flat i always feel some satisfaction...i know i know, it's not like i overhauled my hub but none the less. well that satisfaction got tossed in the ditch when my tire starting going soft again....at least i only had to walk a mile and a half home. i could have been worse.

walking the bike home reminded me of college. you know, the walk of shame. where you are walking home in the same clothes you went out in the night before at 9:30 the next morning. in my case it was usually because i passed out at friends house...not a real ladies man i guess. but i digress.

other than that, it was an uneventfull evening in the hoenisch household. i gave the pup an empty water bottle to play with and he loved it more than anything else we have for him...and we've made a few investments in that category. just like a kid i guess. give them a really cool toy and they play with the box.

happy thursday.
