Coming Up Milhouse
Sundays and Tuesdays are my days off from wrenching at the shop, but that doesn’t keep me from waking early. For the past few weeks I’ve been consistently getting up around six or seven and enjoying more of the morning before the air has time to get really hot.
Today I had an early appointment with my orthopedic doctor to confirm that yes, it is time for the pins in my knee to come out, despite what Paula the receptionist thinks. The procedure is scheduled for some time this coming Thursday and it ought to be a much less severe operation than the insertion was.
Then on Friday I get to sign the lease and pick up the keys for my new apartment. After crashing on couches for three weeks it is going to be so nice to have a place of my own. The apartment is technically a single-bedroom cottage, but I’m not sure why. There will be plenty of room for bicycles, and perhaps even a couch for visiting friends.
I’ve been drawing again. Once I’m settled in my new place I’ll set up my scanner and try to share some.
Also, bikey-bike-bikey-bike, Cycloculture has an interview with Grant Peterson of Rivendell Bicycle Works that is very nice. Peterson has been making reasonable and elegant bicycles for years, and his insights into what makes a “high performance” bike, and what allows a bicycle to perform are interesting and, in my opinion, dead on.
