There's no rain in the forecast but there are a few a few fluffy clouds dotted here and there. Yesterday my buddy and I went to Canadian Tire to buy a new DVD player. As we strolled towards the cash we walked past the huge display of bikes. We were attracted to them. So many varieties. Several shoppers were evaluating them. The attendant saw us eyeing one and was quick to offer his assistance. He pulled a bike from rack at our request and left. He went to help another customer. Smart! A shiny green cycle was is our clutches. Buddy sat on it. I sized him up on it. A perfect fit. Yup, I was hooked. I knew that we would be adding it to our purchase. It was assembled and ready to go. Only one final adjustment correcting the tire pressure was needed and done by our sales attendant. We needed a pump and a helmet. It didn't take us long to pick one that fit well and looked nice. We chose a white colour. As we payed we learned about a "no tax sales promotion" on bikes. Lucky us! We walked our new green cycle to the SUV, packed it in and headed to Swiss Chalet. We ordered take out and headed home. Our green cycle was transferred from the SUV to the front hall to be admired as we ate, talked and laughed. Buddy said it was a great celebration. At bedtime Green Cycle was moved to the garage.
Today we're going to launch Green Cycle on it's inaugural run. We'll take a movie of this event and view it on the DVD player that led us to our shiny green cycle.

Green Cycle....I like the pun. Did you write it on purpose?
ReplyDeleteI suspect that the sales tax was waived to promote the concept of green and being nice to our environment, so you have a Green cycle. Enjoy, and maybe you can post your video and we can see the launch of the new bike.
I still need to capture Green Cycle and Buddy on the video cam and then learn how to post it here.
