day #1 and 2 - 2016!!!

Is this year #13? or #14? I don't know.  It has been quite a few!

Wildness at MCO, waiting for the shuttle away from the terminal there was a monster mass of people like I've never seen in over 20 flights.  Then I quickly saw why.

One of the two was working and about 200 people were fighting for it.  I hope they get that fixed soon.  The flyer kind of makes it look like they are actually upgrading perhaps to a newer, better train.  Though like most things, it seemed like the old one was good enough for me.

I was trying to demonstrate that the luggage tag was really strong and would not rip.  I tried to show this by seeing if I could lift the luggage by the tag.  But doing it with my left hand while sitting is not very easy.  Maybe my sleeping Brazillian friend could have done it?

Arrived late, but it was worth it, tickets were cheap.  Got in about 815pm and immediately had some IPAs and grub down at the bar and blew nearly $90 in about 30 min.  Ouch.

Today went down to Publix and bought a shit ton of groceries.  Made an awesome sandwich with chicken breast I smashed with a sauce pan, kale, cheese, tomato, bacon.  All on toast, then cooked in the pan, patty melt style (which reminds me, definately need to make patty melts this week).

Went for a beer run as the bar is so damn expensive.  Went to CVS first to try and snag a 12 pack of Stella.  Knew it would be expensive, grabbed Jen's CVS card thinking that would help.  But no sale and the wildest price I've ever seen!

Figured there was no way that it would be that expensive everywhere, so I went another two miles down to I-Drive Liquors which I have seen from the bus so many times but never went in.  Things were not much better down there.

So I scooped that plus a 6 pack of a new CCB brew for a total of about $40 (for 18 beers).  Ouch yet again.

So already done about 8 miles between those two runs today.  No problems with the bike, installed my new 2-piece stem that I've been holding for months, just got done retaping the handlebars.  I have some spare brake pads I'd like to put on but I assumed they used a hex key and they have a nut so I need an adjustable wrench which I do not have.  The old pads aren't that beat, I don't NEED to change them but I'd sure like to.  Going to see if I can get maintenance to borrow me a wrench for 5 minutes - the new pads do use a hex key.
