This is the only kind of car to get excited about. One without a human driver. (contains cycling content)

The Saturn is working fine, but the headliner has sagged to the point that it's brushing against my head. I may have to get some fancy spiral fabric tacks to pin it back up.

I worked service for 3 years in that area and there were a ton of them. Our dealer even sent new trucks out to be raised and otherwise juvenilized. Had them at the last dealer, too, but not as many modified ones. I don't like driving them. Some are so high you can't see a car on your right while sitting at a stoplight. Working on them sucks, too.

Since I have the day off, and Mrs. GJ is down in SoCal with her Gal Pals and the new puppy, I went for a ride. I generally don't ride Mondays, and treat them as rest days, so I didn't know what to expect. The first two miles I had slightly stiff muscles, but that wore off quickly. I did almost 38 miles, all of it Z1/Z2 HR zones. SO much better than riding in the late afternoon, with the headwinds and the low-angle sun in my eyes! Is this what being retired is like?

Bibs, of course. Do you think me a barbarian?
Mind you, because I have long legs/short torso, my jersey tails are always long enough to more than cover any gap there would be.

Riding when you want is part of the awesomeness of retirement. Not a lot of downside, except for the whole lack of disposable income. And I do miss some of the guys. I can remedy that part with a lunch visit later this week.

The Older Boy got us a pecan pie for Fathers Day. I say "us" because I had to share... The Younger Boy got me a box of See's chocolates. I hear some kids buy their fathers stuff like tools or crap like that. Poor bastards.

I got a card.
But, my daughter just bought a house and is sinking cash into it, and my son is paying for two very expensive apartments while he does his internship. So, neither are very flush right now. I was happy to see my daughter last weekend and my son joined us for dinner last night.
I was not disappointed at all.
