Every cloud has a silver lining - July 29, 2010

On Thursday, July 15 - The Outlaw had a break down.  Something inside the steering column was broken and so it was difficult to turn the key to start the engine.  James was at work, and after jiggling the key - just so - he was able to start the XTerra and bring it home. 

Friday 7/16 - unable to start The Outlaw again, so he took Little Blue to work. 
Silver Lining - I started riding a bike to work again and mandatory daily exercise is not a bad thing!

Saturday 7/17 - Jiggled the key - just so - and got The Outlaw to the shop.

Monday 7/19 - the shop has to send the steering column / ignition parts out to a refurbishing place and we won't get the XTerra back until Tuesday or Wednesday.
Silver Lining - Saving gas by only driving one car to work every day.  I get exercise and James picks me up after work because it is 105-degrees!!

Wednesday 7/21 - rode the bike out to the shop to pick up The Outlaw.  Yay!
Silver Lining - potluck day, I don't have to try to balance a container of pasta salad on the handle bars!

Thursday 7/29 - work day 10 of riding the bike.
Silver Lining - I'm not as saddle sore anymore, I have 3 routes I can choose from for the ride, and Utah has beautiful sunrises.
