I feel like our car has been through a Subaru rite of passage today:  First time a bike carrier got strapped to the back.  I was unable to get both of our bikes on there, so I just took mine to the shop.  Bike Shop Guy tried to convince me that I could buy a new bike comparable to mine (Huffy cruiser, bought ... six years ago or so) for what it will cost to get mine running.  I told him I don't care about the cosmetic rust, I just want it to go.  Guess what, I will owe them under $65 when I pick it up in a couple of days and the CHEAPEST bike on the Target website is $100.  So somebody needs to stop looking down his nose at my Target bike.  ;^)

The worthwhileness of investing in fixing up the bikes was confirmed when it cost me $50.53 to fill up the tank of the car.  Here's hoping that tank will last us a while!  I am kicking myself because I forgot the milk coupon that I had, so I couldn't hit Tops on this trip.  I will go either tomorrow when I go out to transport TRex to or from school, whichever half I do tomorrow, or if it's rainy when pickup time comes, we'll stop tonight, as there's a Tops right by the train station.

Also, this took some talent and made getting TRex to school this morning something of an adventure.
