This morning I dropped my rent off with a nice note updating my apartment complex on the state of affairs in my home. To be specific, it still smells horrible and the smell is worst when the heater is on.
So, quite naturally, it is unseasonably cold with snow in the forecast for tomorrow. Thanks, nature, you jerk.
Tonight I was supposed to swim 3000 meters, but the tri club only gets an hour of time in the pool and I was at 2500m at about 55 minutes so I didn’t finish. I’m swimming 12x 100m tomorrow early, though, so I’ll just add on another 500.
On the way to swim tonight I realized my car’s intake situation is worse than I thought.
It has a rubber hose that carries air from the filter box to the engine, but the hose has become cracked over the 100,000 miles I’ve been driving it, so more air comes in than is supposed to. This causes the car to lurch and shudder.
I fixed it a few months ago with some tape when I started going out with a girl because I didn’t want her to think I would drive her around in a lurching jalopy, but she broke up with me on Sunday and the cold snap screwed my tape fix up so my car and I are back to lurching along with only each other as company.
The lurching was the worst tonight. I wondered a few times if I would make it to swim, and then wondered some more on the way home if I would make it here.
The replacement hose is on order through the magic of eBay, but I have an early swim with my friend Kate tomorrow, and then a lunch meeting later on.
So, I will be biking in the cold snow/rain I guess.
Hi. I'm
