I wish the roads in my area were more bike friendly. My road is over seven miles long. It has a 40 mph posted limit and has some sharp turns that are posted at 15 mph. The road is fairly narrow with no side walks. Being posted at 40 means the average speed is upwards of 45 mph. Not a good place for biking.

Aaaaand off to work I go. I overheard the shift superintendent speaking highly of me last night, about how I was stepping up to fill needed roles with us losing so many people to truck line. Good to hear that my hard work is being notice. The Lord has really blessed my work.

Dang it, I think my home well water tank is bad. Water pump keeps cycling on and off even when I shut the tank output water valve off. The tank is hydro pneumatic. I can't wait to see what this will cost.

Good night friends. It's been a long good day. I am thankful to have a place to talk cars to friends and to share good times and not so good times.

Have a good rest of the week every one!
