Life Without School

I think it is safe to talk about being out of school now. I think all of my siblings are done with their respective school years. If not, so sorry. I am emmensely happy to be done with the school system for 2 months. The year ended on a much better note than it started.

Now, on to the world of bicycles. I am working at my dream job over the summer. The only draw back is that I am working six days a week instead of 5 and I don't get to leave until 5 or 5:30. On the otherhand I don't have to be there until 10 in the morning. I still get up early so I can ride though. Well, I'm gonna say TTFN.

No More Kids

The school year is over and we've got 3 days of post planning and I have to go to work right now so I'll write more later.

It's Here

The end is here. I had an exciting day today. We went to the park and walked forever (it seemed that far). We went back to school and one of the boys got sick and had to go to the emergency room. He wound up being alright, but the hospital is holding him overnight for observation. Only one more day and it is all over for the summer. I'm so exhausted I'm going to bed.

For those of you that aren't through yet, sorry. I don't make the schedule.

And for those that read Ice Water. We have a totally new A/C unit and it works great.

Four to Go

No one's counting though. This is the final countdown. I saw the new air conditioning unit going in yesterday afternoon. Maybe it will work today. I'm not holding my breath. But here's hoping. Actually, since the sun has already risen this morning we only count as three more days to go.

I'm a Wrench ... Again

Saturday I started at George's bike shop in Rome. It is Ordinary Bikes at the end of Broad St. I will be building lots of bikes and not wearing polyester soccer jerseys to work (no airconditioning). I also learned that I like building mountain bikes more than road bikes. Mountain bikes come partially assembled and road bikes don't.

Well, it is time to go to sleep and get ready for the last week of the school year. Lots of travel around town and bowling into the summer.

Got Ice Water??????????

Today was a hot one in the old town this morning. I started the day off sitting on our park bench in the back yard and watched the sunrise with a cup of coffee.

Then I got to school and learned how to lock my keys in the car even with the remote lock in my hand. Oh, and the phone was in the car. I had turned the key to the on position and plugged in the phone and then locked the doors and learned that with the key in the on position the remote lock won't work. Fun.

Next I walked in and discovered that the air-conditioning unit cooling my wing of the building had finally died. Not good with students that can't deal with the heat. We went to the mall and will probably do the same tomorrow.

Dealt with whiner that doesn't understand the concept of having lost.

Had a great time at the Soccer Banquet. Had great AWESOME BBQ.

Did I mention that the air conditioning didn't work and won't until next week.

Light at the End of the Tunnel

We got ten more days. Who's counting? Not me... ha ha ha. Of course the next day I go to work at the bike shop full time. I actually start this coming Saturday at the shop. Hopefully sometime this week I'll have a rideable bike again.

Tuesday we play the last softball game for the season. I had hoped that we would play the summer league, but not enough commitment there. I can understand that with everyone going on vacation at different times. If we had played this summer I was going to by baseball pants. Oh, Well!
