Went to the Pantry on Cerillos for lunch....
Hadn't been there yet this trip and remembered it was a kind of Triple D place...
Sure enough.... that's what it looked like.
Had a breakfast plate with 2 eggs, carne adovado and pantry potatoes.
The main reason I was at the Pantry was because it was just up the road from the Broken Spoke....
Where I traded in the old Bianchi Advantage - I had dinked the rear rim pretty bad on a curb which was probably the reason I was having so many flats..... I evaluated the cost for a new rim and the labor to change it out and decided to cut my losses.....
Got $75 for a trade-in on it which was pretty close to what I had in it.
Put that toward a 2014 Jamis X 26" Mountain Bike which was on sell for $295....
Got a new sturdier rear rack put on it and swapped all the accessories and got an extra tube and was out the door for $250.
Functionally, it's a near duplicate to my Trek 3700 so something I'm used to.
I decided since a bike was my only means of transportation, I needed something that was reliable and that could handle a heavy load.....
Like hauling the latest run to Trader Joe's....
That's 3 full bags of groceries!
Will it fit on the bike?
You betcha!
Back at the casita and unloaded.
That's what an empty refrigerator looks like.... all I had was some salad and a half a dozen eggs.
And that's a full fridge....

TJ's Turkey Meat Loaf (of course - can't live without it)
TJ's uncured turkey bacon
