That Cold November Ra-ain ...

S's concern for his Schwinn continues.



I pulled into the driveway the other night when I was getting home from work. It was raining fairly hard, and I was surprised to see S on his knees in my neighbors parking spot. This was surprising for a couple reasons. First, I've never actually seen him outside of the house before. I mean, I know he leaves, I've seen him walk out the door ... but this is the first time I've seen signs that he has actually been off the property.

Second, this was surprising because of what he was doing. I had to look twice, but to my surprise, he was wiping down his bike chain with paper towels. I guess he didn't want his 30% reduction in efficiency to become a 40% reduction. One problem. He was wiping it down, in the RAIN! He did put the tarp on it when it was done. Of course, the tarp has a big old rip in it.

PS: I've always said that S's one redeeming quality is his timeliness with rent. Unfortunately, it's the third now. No rent yet.
