Well, THIS sucks!

Planned to do a day long ride today; backroads of Florida in all its glorious toothlessness. Had my bike all packed with everything last night; camera, etc. Set my phone alarm for 8 AM & was gonna be on the road by 8:15.

Lesson #1...never leave your phone within arm's reach of your bed. I shut the damn thing off & went back to sleep.

Lesson #2...It's June, It's Florida, so it's gonna rain. So, here I am in front of my computer listening to the lightning & watching the thunder & being a no ridin' emmereffer today. Maybe it's a good thing I shut the alarm off in my sleep, otherwise I'd be sitting under an overpass watching this crap, instead of the comfort of my house.

Gonna fix some lunch now.

Could be worse. You could be stuck at work all day on a Saturday like me.

A friend of mine moved to Florida. First time I got a chance to ask him how he liked it he said "For the Sunshine State it sure rains a lot here".

It's a beautifully sunny day in Illinois. I'll think of you when I'm out on my bike.

I don't remember the last time I slept until 8 AM. If I did it was because I was sick at the time. 6 AM is the latest for me, any later and I am just burning daylight.
Go to bed earlier Dickey.
