They have been paving a lot in my town, too. So that means, even after they lay down the asphalt, it's a week or so of plowing through gravel until the cars grind it in. It wasn't fun, and I panicked about gravel throwing the belt, but it was OK.

Better than my dilema this weekend. Got locked out of my garage in a nice big Florida thunderstorm.&nbsp\\;\\\\\\; Got home from a long ride in the rain and the power was out, garage door wouldn't go up and neither my wife or I had our house keys. Stood in the rain and listened to our dogs bark.&nbsp\\;\\\\\\;
Now that's funny!&nbsp\\; I can relate, because we have several dogs, and I can just see myself doing that someday.&nbsp\\; LOL.

Been there, done that. Now I keep a house key on the same ring as my bike key/security fob.
You would think someone who lives in S. Florida would know all about the consequences of thunderstorms and power failures.
