I slept in a little bit today after yesterday’s draining ride to Tulsa. I figured I’d try to catch the old work crew at Taco John’s for lunch, so I took a shower and headed over to sit with the maintenance crew while they ate. I forgot my phone, so I tried texting Zach from my watch when they didn’t show. He didn’t get back to me until much later to say that they hadn’t been very regular with Taco Tuesday lately. I ended up getting a few to-go, and took them to Summer at the wash. Then I headed back home to get my phone.
It was nice outside, so I decided to take the Onewheel out for a spin. I made it up the driveway and bailed, then took off down the road feeling pretty sketchy about it. I just couldn’t get my foot placement right, and having shoes on made me less tactile. I made it all the way to my parents’ house without biting the dust though, so I was fairly proud. Dad wasn’t home, so I turned around and headed back to the house and took the car to Rose Drug to pick up a prescription for Summer.
After I got the prescription, Dad was back home and I went over to try putting a little more air in the Onewheel to see if it helped some of my issues in the street. It doesn’t take much to really throw off the feel of the board, so I knocked it back down to just a pound or two above where it started. Then we went for a ride so Dad could try Full Self Driving. By the time we got back, it was about time for Eaddie to get home from school, so I headed to the house. She was only there for a little while though, since she had a short flute lesson.
When Eaddie got back, we went to La Huerta for dinner, and then I dragged her to Lowes to look at what Christmas trees they had left. They were all 75% off, and though I really liked one that only had different temperatures of white lights that twinkled nicely, I let her choose one with a much louder light pattern. We got it home and assembled, and then I spent the evening spreading all the tips while she got ready for bed. Summer got home from work late and kicked back on the couch to watch, and I watched a little YouTube before wrapping up for bed.
Like crumbs stuck to a piece of gum.
