Evening commute 11/4/19 54 °F clear

Morning commute 11/5/19 45°F
Evening commute 11/5/19 51°F

Morning commute 11/6/19 32°F - Rear derailleur was not wanting to move to larger cogs, I was stuck in 6th and having to shift between the two largest front chainrings.
Evening commute 11/6/19 49°F light rain

Morning commute 11/7/19 49°F rain - got pretty well soaked by the time I got to work.
Evening commute 11/7/19 38°F clear - wore my office clothes home, all my cycling gear was still damp from the morning. This is why I use platform pedals, never know when I'm going to be cycling in leather loafers

Morning commute 11/8/19 23°F - Really starting to despise the shifters on the Kona. I was stuck in 7th-9th and could not shift to any larger cogs on the rear cassette. Had to use the front derailleur for all my shifting again. Now the bikes lagging in going from the middle to the larger chainring as well.
Evening commute 11/8/19 32° - I was able to shift gears properly, yay for small victories.

Morning commute 11/11/19 50°F clear weather
Evening commute 11/11/19 39°F rain - Wasn't raining very heavy, the insides of my shoes were still mostly dry by the time I got home but wet and cold enough I made it a point to make hot soup for dinner.

Morning commute 11/12/19 18°F - It had snowed a little bit last night, I think we got between 1/2 and inch and an inch. The roads were clear though. Shifting was, of course acting up on the bike I got stuck in 6th on the rear cassette (largest cog it would let me shift to, I could got to smaller cogs but not larger), and the middle chainring with no hope of shifting to the larger chainring.

I'm sure the shifting issues are a fixable problem but right now, I'm really wanting to throw the bike off a cliff.
