Due to road construction, my commute is now 3.5 miles, up from 3 miles. And six stop signs, up from only three. The major east-west state highway is diverted onto narrow two lane roads. Two of the stop signs have just enough road rise/fall that I cannot see how many vehicles are backed up, therefore cannot properly adjust my glides.

I put a trickle charger on the battery every night. It needs it.

Anyway, that's my whine for this week.

Wisconsin has two seasons. Road construction, and winter.

I'm not complaining, it's how I make a living.

The sport of ecomodding is rather habitual, ehh Jim!
