Today was supposed to be a medium day..

Yup you can plan out a medium day and hope nothing really bad happens, well, following the directions would be so much easier if there were signs that tell you, such an such is over there, so now make the turn, but without it, you keep on going, hoping to see some sign, got to one point, take a left, okay, which one...so after taking the third one, which wasn't meant for bikes with trailers.  So after I got through the second small opening, the bearings on the axle snapped, so then the breakdown, bad words, then some innovation, put some tire tube onto what was left of the axle so I didn't break the hitch as well, then started walking, and walking.

Walked past the turn since there was no sign to tell me CA-1 was over there. Which didn't turn out too bad since I ran into a Mike's Bikes location, and Dan one of their Technicians helped me out with some new bearings, plus a pair of spares. 

I felt I was so dead in the water.  Plus I do have to admit, it was weird to let someone else work on My  bike, or well the one I'm riding now.

But tomorrow I bike over the Golden Gate Bridge, as planned.

Must have done 5 - 6 miles extra with all the bad google directions.  But it's better than nothing I guess.

Time for soup, too late to go get something else...

I filled up bags of cans to recycle, it's a very cheap hobby, that pays, and best of all I found over three pounds of copper, and a handful of brass. Did a good deed, returned a debit card to the Texas Bank location, looked like someone was pulling that magical device out of her pocket and the debit card fell to the ground....I assume the bank people picked it up when they were unlocking the doors on monday. Also found a leather toolbag, with tools in it. This is the hill to get out of Brownwood, as the city is in kind of a bowl that creates sort of a weather bubble to keep the rain out. This is the green sign you can barely see in the first pic. Made it, 9ish miles, not much to see, was looking for those junk stores that were there when I first rode past, they weren't open.  Didn't find my fellow dumpster diver's place either. Here's the toolbag, I gave

 Found this pen and ink, sadly the tag that tells you who the artist is was vaguely stapled on, but the tag for how to hang it, oh that's on there like monkey going through puberty. Reminds me of someone..... I think that says Gary??? anyone else able to read medical scribing?
