North Manchester

i have 2011 Ford fiesta
bought it new in march
this morning it was just
three miles short of 8,000 miles.

the sun hasn't shined in cleveland this week
wanted to go on one last bike ride to edgewater
or lay in the hammock one more time
but it never happened

i also had a list to do the following:
- make a key that opens the side door of my car but wont start it
- open a bank account at different bank that doesnt charge atm fees
- buy cleveland tshirts
- a new hat

none of that happened
but not for a lack of trying

turns out
- only a locksmith can make the key and it was cost prohibitive
- pnc will only reemburse 8 bucks a month and that wasnt enough to get me to deal with an evil pittsburgh bank that killed a cleveland bank
- great lakes lake erie monster shirts only came in kid sizes the elliot ness was a puke color and i forgot to go to the melt
- didnt find the hat i wanted

anyway i made it north manchester indiana
mostly smooth sailing
early on the turnpike was briefly a parking lot
i was literally stopped
but it cleared up in 15 minutes

i got here just in time for my brother to go to practice

so i am watching party down on netflicks
typing this

we were going to go to see the indians play in chicago
but choose not to
its two and half hours away and looks like rain

dont worry this will get better
in the next few days
