Some of those are to pick up packages at the post office and Fed Ex, laundry, sweep and mop, and pick up my bike from the bike shop. Well I did most of that list by noon but still needed to pick up the package and my bike.
I took the number 30 bus up past Uptown from James Bay thinking that Fed Ex was on Vanalman but it was actually on Tennyson Ave. so I jumped off and walked over. Finally picking the package up at 4.
I headed back downtown to Bay Street to hop on the 10 over to the bike shop. I got to the bike shop and saw a familiar face that was picking up a bike. We talked and he said that he recently got t-boned by a car. He broke the cross bar, seat tube, and die tube of his bike frame. He had no other injuries except a sore shoulder. Lucky guy. Or unlucky.
I picked up my bike which cost me $180. They did a tune up, replaced the front brake pads, and replaced a brake line. I see that they rewrapped my handlebar tape and replaced a plug in my handlebars. They mentioned that the creeking sound that I reported was caused by cracks in the rear rim. The cracks were around the spokes. This same issue had appeared twice before during my tour across Canada. They said that the wheel might be able to be replaced through the warranty.
I walked the bike most the way home. I was trying to get 10k steps each day. With the walk home it out me over just 10k steps. I dropped the bike off at home and went to Thrifties to pick up some groceries for dinner.
At the grocery store I picked up a couple of Jamie Oliver frozen meals. They are a good start. Then I picked up some zucchini, tomatoes, and tofu to jazz it up.
What I cooked turned out pretty good. I used my spiralizer on the zucchini and pan fried it quickly. I made enough for lunch tomorrow. My first day of work in quite sometime. I finished off the night by watching the 7th episode of the Minority Report.
