July 31st: Cameron gave me that road bike a couple of weeks ago. He commuted on it for twenty years and then totaled it when a car turned right without seeing him. It looks good, but the metal is too bent to be trusted. Not only that, but the front wheel is on crooked now. I figured sooner or later somebody is going to need a ghost bike, and this is a good candidate. Plus, it has many parts I want to use to upgrade my other bikes. Since getting it, I've moved the rack to my road bike and the front wheel to my beater bike. Both of those bikes are much better for the new parts. Thank you Cameron!

August 5th: I picked up that chair at the Red Rock. It was heavy. I sat in it for a few minutes. There was a sign on the one next to it that said "FREE". I asked the guy if I could take it. He said "Please. We want them gone." I walked it about ten feet down the sidewalk. It was too heavy to carry further. I sat on it. The thing was still comfortable. I picked it up and carried it across the street. I adjusted my grip and carried it past the Eagles Nest. I adjusted my grip and carried it down to the empty store front. I parked there and rested for a few minutes. To make a long story short, after many little treks like that one I got the thing home. Thank you to the Indian guy that got me the last 100 yards! It adds a comfortable place to sit and read for a little while to my living room. Thank you Red Rock Coffee House!
