Missoula, Montana

7/20
Wednesday
quiet day, took jazz's bike into town to the Bike Doctor, $88.00 estimate for tune up, new back brake, new chain, new intertubes, and true the wheels as well as loosen up the seat and clean the rear sprocket.
Patrick got Jazz a bike rack for her car, he is so sweet. was gone 3 hours, picking up email, setting up Jazz's direct deposit. had to fuel up the car and get some groceries, amazing how much milk we go through. spent the afternoon visiting with Brekke, she is moving the Austin from Provo, definitely an adjustment for her. chat with Krys, good visit. looks like another generation of kids being best friends with the parents. strange how that works. I was pretty much best friends with my parents when I was living in Montana, and now that I am in Texas, virtually alone, it is much harder to form new friendships. just so used to my parents being the ones, annoying though they can be.
calculated budget for return home, totals for summer freaked me out.

4572 miles while here +460 (estimate to end of the visit)
