One week car rental

I drove a rental car for a week. Friday 9/24 - Friday 10/1. My first rental car... We (Dawn and I) got it in the first place to get out of town. We went to the hot springs for the weekend. Ukiah's organic brewery ;-). After the weekend I took advantage of the car and let my body rest as much as possible.

It was nice to drive regularly again after 2+ years without. I drove to meetings, drove to stores, drove to work... it all felt very productive and more than convenient. Before renting the car, I was actually having a debate on whether I wanted to give in and purchase a vehicle before the seasons change. With the cold rainy season coming around and my body feeling exhausted, I hate to admit it but, I almost gave in... The rental was a good fix for that urge. At the end of the week I used the car for one last trip. I drove to the bike shop right after one of my business meetings. I picked up a new commuter bike, warmer gear, and tools to rip apart and fix up my old Trek Hybrid.

Now I ride on without a second thought and with a new energy into year 3 this spring.
