This week I have got nine hours of exercise. This year I have got 537 km riding the bicycle.

This morning I drove the car to a repair shop. In the afternoon I talked with the auto mechanic, and it turned out there was nothing wrong with the motor, just a piece of metal loose and making noise against the exhaust pipe. However, the car window that was stuck in the down position required some work for the old motor to be replaced.

I commuted by bicycle today, but it was slow going because there was 5-10 cm of new snow on the road. It took 65 minutes to get to work, and the same time back home.
