the weekend was great. we spent a lot of it fixing bikes, on bikes, in a canoe, on a stool, in the kitchen, and on the couch. on friday, matt repaired my innertube while i started a batch of scoby-growing tea.
we did breakfast at the tavern on saturday and got some rope for our homemade anchors. after wrasslin’ with the overflow hose under the sink,
we took our maiden voyage outside of the creek to mickey’s!
it took about 40 minutes but we weren’t racing anyone. it was a little daunting once we cornered the pier at the olbrich outlet, but we made our way along the shore over to the yahara river inlet. it would be nice to install a lockbox on the canoe in order to leave our life preservers and anything else we don’t want to haul inside wherever we end up; i also want to get something waterproof for our phones.
sunday, matt had to work. i went for breakfast and then proceeded downtown to stare at some really fast bikers and see if ragstock had anything i’d like. it seems as tho they raise their prices in the summer to get more money from tourists. a skirt that was $5 during maxwell street days last year was $29 yesterday. :/
i’m glad half the day is past me; i’ve got a five-day weekend coming up.
