My girlfriend is getting to be high maintenance
Her brakes are getting more difficult to engage while biking downhill and it’s starting to affect my wrists. Also, something is causing friction between the chain and the gears and it just didn’t feel right when was riding her today.

I’m never going to get out of this airport in Greenville, SC. I’ve been here since 6am. My flight has been delayed due to mechanical problems, which they are taking forever to sort out. This is just annoying now.
