Today's Tracking
We finally got a call back from the realtor listing the cute A-Frame house we spotted a couple days ago, so Jacque suggested we ride the trike over to view the place with the realtor present.
Looking outside prior to riding, it was a little cloudy but no moisture and no wind evident. So I thought it would be an OK ride. Jacque worried a little about it but I reassured her it would be fine since it wasn't stormy or raining/snowing.
Well, all that was true, but we were taken aback at how COLD it was. Without the sunshine it was just this side of miserable. There is a slight uphill grade approaching the for-sale house, so I was getting close to overheated (with Jazzie acting as a belly-warmer tucked into the front of my windbreaker). However, it seemed the INSTANT we stopped riding, I immediately got cold again and didn't get warm until we started riding back toward the house. The A-Frame was cute but the asking price made us not even want to make a lowball offer on it. It was small, it was cramped, and the master bedroom is up a steep set of stairs, unattractive to a sexy woman with a problematic knee such as my lovely spouse.
We normally would have ridden on up toward the East to our short but steep post office run for a finale, but we were so thoroughly chilled when we got back to the petro-powered transport vehicle we stopped and loaded it up on the roof-rack and got that bad petro-powered heater going. It was great to find our toes again....
Our tires on this Trike are now getting dangerously bald. We bought them new at Wal-Mart a year or so ago and thought we might invest in some more expensive but longer-lasting ones. After looking up prices online and finding "high-quality" 20" X 2.0" tires listed at FIFTY bucks a pop NOT including shipping, we decided we'd prefer to just buy another set of Walmart tires and get another year or so service out of them.
