Another Big Day

Matt and I headed down to Boise today. As I mentioned several days ago, I need to get my granola from the Boise Co-Op so that I can be regular. I also "had" to get the old dog a new bowl, several different kinds of hand-wash, lunch stuff, produce, yadda yadda. On the way home I told Matt we should stop at Idaho Mountain Touring so that he could check out the mountain bikes, as he's been drooling over a new bike since sometime after 1987, which is when he bought his old Raleigh. I'm still not sure if that was a mistake or not. After about 15 minutes and a quick discussion of the tax refund, a $150 fitness equipment reimbursment he'll receive from work, and a little grovelling, he's the proud owner of a new Trex 4500 mountain bike. It has 21 speeds. I mean, I am energy deficient, and I totally rode this bad boy (the bike, not Matt) up our driveway, which is well-known around town for being "a steep sumbitch." I'm calling it my new commuter car. Matt can ride it sometimes...
