semi sunny and 10 degrees… We are currently gathering clothes and such for tonight's ride. We have a dinner party this evening. This is something we have done for a few years now.. with a regular group. It always ends before midnight. So we will come home and head out for a ride. For a few years now we have ridden out the old year and ride in the new. We head out before Midnight. We have done much outside cold weather riding for a little bit, so we have to find and figure out what we might need.
I will be heading back out to get our bikes ready also. With all the ice around we will ride our Pugsleys with studded tires.
The people we had dinner with last night.. Dave and Angela.. Dave is the one who will be my new manager.. we did talk some last night… He said if we had any questions.. it was a good time. We talked a bit.. but not of some of the questions I might have. For one I don't know that he knows I don't work weekends etc.. or didn't. I worked two days a week.. and any extra.. I was asked if I could help out.. not told you have to work this and this extra. It didn't feel like a time to talk that stuff.. too early for that. He is excited, but also anxious.. for he is giving up a stable job to do this.
Some things will of course not change.. others will. He did meet with my co-workers in our store.. I think Friday.. and talked to them some.
The nice thing for me..and Laurie did bring it up Friday night when she and I talked about it.. I don't "need" to work. I do this job.. because I enjoy it, and it really doesn't contribute to our household income.. for everything I earn… goes back into our cycling habit.
