I needed that.

Today was a nice day to just head out to the woods and get away from the craziness of this week. The week started off in a very bad way. I'm always the first one in the shop and my office is on the second floor, and the main section of the warehouse is on the first floor. I always process orders that have come in over the weekend first and distribute to each department. I then proceed to head to the main warehouse on the first floor to turn the lights and shipping computer on. As I get to the stairs in the backside of the building leading to the first floor I hear what sounds like heavy rain inside the building. I bolt down the stairs to see water pouring from the ceiling. I run back up stairs to find the cause of my nightmare. I find it in the ladies room as the water line to the sink burst, so I find the main shutoff and take care of that. Now I've got a huge mess to clean up with over 10,000 pieces of product that need to be cleaned up. So I needed that ride today.

Walden on Wheels.

(Your water-damage story triggered flashbacks to walking in to my office after the water backed up on the roof and broke through a skylight. And also coming in the morning after a break-in. Cycling definitely helps.)

Cycling sure does help. Thankfully it's the slow time of year because I've got a ton of clean up.
