Made it!

.

Okay, it's only 13:00.  But I have been crashing right after or right before noon for the last three days.  Tried to go a bit more and stumbled.  Surprised I didn't fall and chip a tooth.  Almost literally.  More?  Maybe.  Oh, but I best get medicine down.  Yes, first thing... even before finishing this.  Or... well... yes.  I don't need coffee, had three today?  Two?  I'll... drink something else.  Cool water?  Whatevs...

The goal?  15:00 and a shower.  I haven't pulled trash and recycling, but I have gathered it.  That needs out tonight.  I also pulled meat to thaw.  With plenty of propane, I should be able to eat well for a while.  It's been a few days since I've eaten, even a day of just water.  Soup a few days, just soup a couple of days.  I'm... hungry.  Nothing beats meat.  Wait... never... mind.

Oh, and it is just 67 out there?  Wow, yes, cool.  A very cool October.  If it was cloudy, raining, that would be one thing.  It isn't.  It is full on sunny day.  This is sure starting out rather cold.  Not cool.  For this time of year it is cold.  Or... so it seems.

I have been looking over ksl wanted ads.  A... regional version of craigslist, not as... sketch?  Who knows though.  Hmm... ought to look on craigslist too?  Anyway.  Been looking over bikes.  Looking for a slightly aged, lower mileage, with certain upgrades.  Several brands, makes, models...  

Some people are asking for the moon.  They just won't get it, not from me.  A 2014, with 20k miles, no matter how well outfitted, won't bring 5.5/7ths of a new bike.  Just... can't do it.  Some "new" bikes are less than other "new" bikes.  I'm not sure... what that is all about.  I'll have to get set up and going and figure it out.

I don't do facebook, so their marketplace is out.  I don't do etsy, or even ebay.  Just don't trust them, at least for a bike.  For small baubles, or minor antiques, perhaps.  But not a motorcycle.  Though, some of the ads on ksl are from actual shops.... not private sellers.  Which... is fine as long as it is competitive.  Perhaps even with a warrantee of some sort.

If used car salesmen are to be watched carefully, I would guess bike salesman must be watched even moreso?  Used even doubling on that.  Spooky territory.  Need to find someone who could do the test driving, go with.  Problem is, while I know some who can drive, I don't think even they have licenses.  Ugh.

Well, moving along.  Figuring things out.  Hopeful to get a few things sorted  Monday.  Then... to it.  One thing at a time.  Later.
