At the gas station the air/water machine was easy to access, yes it needed cash, $1 (in 4x25cent), good job he had change. While the machine rattled away MrGrumpy fought with the air-hose, the rewind spring was so strong it was more of a workout to get the hose to each wheel that he had expected. MrGrumpy ended up having to stand on the hose with one foot while trying to put the air in each wheel.
As expected the tyres were low, about 20psi, so MrGrumpy filled them up to the recommended 35psi (ish, as the gauge is quite difficult to read with any accuracy). Inevitably due to all the fighting with the hose, the time ran out before he was able to do all 4 tyres, he still had some change, but not enough for another go, so he has 3 tyres at 35psi and one unknown.
MrGrumpy has managed to get two cups of decent coffee today, that has helped him through the morning. By the end of the week MrGrumpy is feeling the effects of the long days, at least MrGrumpy's commute is much less (about 20 mins) than many here, MrFarSide for example has 70miles to do each way (sometimes up to 2 hours if the traffic is bad).
While MrGrumpy was talking to Little Miss Naughty, he saw a hummingbird, the first he has ever seen, it quite small, only about 2-3 inches and was a vivid blue colour (or color for US readers), it did not stay still long, after a few seconds it was off.
As MrGrumpy approaches his third weekend in the US, he finds it nice to see that his family and friends continue to monitor his blog. The question is how long can MrGrumpy carry on the daily updates, will it drop down as time goes on? As long as people are interested in his grumbles and inane ramblings then he will try and maintain the updates.
Why does it say 50 page views from Russia? o_O
