Brian’s almost a biker. Zepka’s called this afternoon, so we went over there and checked out the bike (cool!) and did all of the paperwork. However, it’s not going to be delivered until tomorrow. It was pouring down rain when we got there and Brian hadn’t yet cleared out a spot for the bike, so he opted to have it delivered tomorrow. It’s not like he could ride it in this weather, anyway. So, expect a full report from me sometime tomorrow. Hopefully it will stop raining long enough for him to at least take it up and down the road a few times.
the latest
Zepka’s informed Brian that his bike might not be ready until tomorrow. Needless to say, they’ve been removed from his Christmas list and added to his shit list. It wouldn’t be such a big deal except for three things:
1. Brian took a vacation day today (apparently for nothing).
2. It’s going to rain for the next four days (starting late this afternoon), so Brian won’t get much riding time.
3. We have plans to work on the playhouse all day tomorrow (Jake’s not going to be home) and we have someone coming to help us, so picking up the bike tomorrow will surely mess up our schedule.
There’s a chance that the bike will be ready late this afternoon, but I’m not going to hold my breath. That would be the best case scenario at this point.
Stay tuned for updates…
obligatory post
It’s been a few days since I posted, so I thought I’d catch y’all up on things. Note: I’m allowed to say y’all because I was born in Maryland, which is technically in the south.
We worked on the playhouse Sunday, Monday, and Tuesday. We’re where I hoped we would be at this point. It’s just too early to tell if that’s good enough progress. I would much rather be ahead of schedule, but it sure beats being behind. I have another milestone in mind for the weekend, so we’ll have to see if we hit that. This weather is surely going to screw things up. There is a lot of painting/staining that needs to be done–some of it starting this weekend. There are some things I can paint ahead of time, but other things have to wait until they’re attached. And it’s going to be too cold in the near future to be painting anything outside.
And speaking of the weather, it’s also putting a crimp in my gardening plans. I was supposed to put some cool-weather plants in this weekend, but seeing that it might snow, I’m going to have to hold off for a bit. I’m a teensy bit behind on some other garden stuff as well, but it’s because the playhouse is taking up most of my free time.
Brian is anxiously awaiting the call from Zepka’s saying that his bike is ready. Hopefully they will call today so that he can get the bike tomorrow morning. Again with the weather–it’s supposed to rain tomorrow afternoon and that’s not good weather for riding. He has tomorrow off so that he can tool around the streets and learn how to operate the new bike. Let’s just hope he gets the opportunity.
the countdown is on
Zepka’s called this morning. Brian’s bike is in! They have to do some stuff to it and are waiting on the accompanying paperwork, so it’ll be ready on Thursday or Friday. Unfortunately, Brian has a meeting on Thursday and can’t get off work that day. So, the bike will be delivered on Friday morning. Good thing he passed his motorcycle driving test last weekend!
It’s going to be a long three days…
