Alright, well thanks to the guys at ecomodder.com giving me the extra boost of motivation I have needed I have begun riding my bike again...a lot. I do the daily 10 mile round trip commute to work 5 days a week which so far has knocked a total of 280 miles off my car per month so far. I have also started riding pretty much everywhere else too. I rode to my parents house the other day, about 11 miles away, but had to have them drive me home with the bike on the rack because we ate dinner too late and riding 11 miles in the dark didn't sound like much of a plan.
I've also picked up more hours at work, and CONSISTENT work at that! I'm now pulling almost 30 hours a week, so I can actually afford stuff, WOOHOO!!! The only thing that kinda sucks now though is that I have to wake up at 6:30AM to have time to eat and get out the door and to work on the bike (commute takes about 30 minutes) and then still have enough time to clean up a little before I sit down at my desk for the day. The commute home is great though, I get off at 2PM and that means there is NO TRAFFIC so it's a really relaxing commute, all be it uphill.
In upcoming news, I'm preparing to move at the end of next month. I am moving in with one of my fellow con goer buddies that I met at Carolinacon earlier this year and she's really great, we get along like we've known each other for years. The other plus to moving there is that the place is literally across the street and down a block from the apartment, so I won't even need my bike anymore to get there. So, I've begun packing for that all while making plans for going to H.O.P.E next month too. Looking forward to that as well, I'll be posting here while I'm there (assuming I can find some secure wifi while I'm there, unlikely) and putting up some pictures as well on my flickr page, so be looking for that.
