Woot! new Pedals!

[ishte]

My new pedals came in. I'm so excited. I meant to get them last year but never did. I had the money set aside for the longest time. It's not like they cost much anyway. I wanted a particular kind though. I wanted clips on one side, and flat on the other side for when I want to ride with my normal shoes. The cleats came with it so I don't have to pay for cleats too... the whole set was only $9.99 and no shipping so that was awesome. Brand new pedals. So now I have to put them on, and wait for the weather to clear. Maybe I'll get smart and try them out on my Minoura first until I get used to them. Hee. Everyone keeps telling me that I am required to take a spill the first time I use them. We'll see. Maybe there just won't be any witnesses. *snicker*

Sadly it's not looking like the weather is going to straighten back up until Tuesday next. Seems that around here we've had april flowers and now will have may showers. *rolls eyes* only in Ohio. My Ires have one week to come in or else I can't give some to my mom for Mother's day.

Lizz... Happy Moving day tomorrow. I meant to text you back but I was at work, and stuffed my phone back in my pocket and just now remembered. They showed the house today at 3. They're showing it again tomorrow. So keep fingers and stuff crossed.

Yush. They's pedals. They are regular on one side and clip-in for SPD cleats on the other side. They can also take toe clips/straps, but I don't like those. I'd rather clip in, or just pedal normally.

We need the rain, but I wish it wouldn't go on for days and days... and I also wish it wouldn't pour down rain EVERY time someone comes to look at the house. Someone looked today.. .Pouring rain, basement door leaking, puddle. Tomorrow it will also be shown, and probably pouring down rain, basement door leaking, puddle... and at the very least I doubt the remains of the previous puddle will be completely dry by morning either. Even if it doesn't rain enough to seep under the door. It's really not a big deal. the drain in the outside stairwell gets clogged with leaves and is not big enough to service the drainage. and so if it starts leaning against the door, it leaks in around the doorframe and goes to the drain in the basement (if it's enough to actually reach that far). But I can't afford to fix it right now.

Having dealt with water leaks in the basement, I feel your pain all too well.

So you know of course that today I came home to discover that the sump pump had failed. *groan*. Ace Handyman has a similar submersible for $84... I can't afford it but obviously I can't afford to be without it either. I'm not sure how to replace it though.

OH DUH ME. Should have scrolled back through, and I would have seen the cost to replace.

Call me

Can't help you there...they snaked the outside drain when my apartment flooded...in the mean time, I used a bucket to manually drain most of the water.
