Default Frustrated!

So I'm going to Africa for 4 months and I really want to get a couple good rides in before I leave but life and weather isn't cooperating. I have only been able to ride once in the last 6 weeks. I can't even ride to work because of all of the deployment related stuff I have to carry with me. And the weather has been terrible every weekend, except the ones that I'm working of course, damn you mother nature!). Hopefully next weekend. Anyway, just wanted to rant a little.

I'll give you that the weather sucks in Texas. Our power was out for 90 minutes tonight.

As for Africa...can't help you there. I know I wouldn't go. But that's me.

Sounds terrible. The African part. If you have time head to Del Rio for the night then over to the 3 sisters before you leave.

Don't really have a choice there. Uncle Sam says I'm going so I'm going. It shouldn't be too bad though.

I would love to do that. I have done the three sisters once before and it was very fun.
