Now that I'm in the office twice a week, I've gotten into the routine of coming from home, then spending the night between office days at Mom's, which is closer than going home and back. Saves 60 miles, and I get to check in with Mom once a week, which she loves. She has my bed turned down and the nightstand lamp on when I get there.
I figured rather than slabbing it the whole way to Mom's and back, I'd take a side road to make it a little interesting. Part of the ride is on "Old 395" and is quite picturesque compared to I-15, which is a straight shot at full freeway speed. And today, I'm also using the Enfield to play AC Repair Truck. Got to Mom's yesterday evening and it was quite warm. Took her AC apart and the starter capacitor is blown. Same-day-delivery from Amazon got a new one to my office already, so I'll head back down after work today to make sure Mom's cool for the hot weekend coming up.

You know what? I actually would like a pickle.
