Thanks, guys. When everything shakes out and is settled, one thing I look forward to is time to think again about things other than the logistics of shutting this company down and looking for new work. I have let a lot of "casual thoughts" fall by the wayside. For instance, I was riding in this morning on the Enfield. I glanced down at the Dart windscreen and mused about how much thought I put into choosing to replace the factory Enfield screen for the Dart. Things like that. Lately I've been so distracted that I can't remember the last time I lubed my chain.
Yes, the new commute will be long, but it will only be once a week - we're negotiating on that, will probably be twice a week for the first two months till I get my footing. But I think back to my days at Petersen and that very long commute. When I left that job, I framed my last monthly bus and rail passes. That was in 1999. I imagine the prices have gone up.
Doing some Feng Shui in the garage to bring home the third bike tomorrow, and will see how everything fits. Eventually the bikes will go into a shop space I'm planning at Mom's, but for now, it will be tight but doable as long as I do not buy a new car. I don't think anything on the market right now is as small as a Fiesta. The neighbor across the street opened his garage this morning and waved to me as I was zipping up my jacket. He was pointing to his new car - a Civic SI, and I walked over to check it out. Still has a manual, awesome! I'd love one! But, I grabbed a tape measure off of his work counter while we were chatting and measured the length of it. Hmm.., it will have to wait a while.
The new company is Ford-centric, and the boss is already cajoling me about getting a Mustang. I know that wouldn't fit!
