Default Quitting Time....

Work is over,
its time to ride.
not a cloud in the sky
think I'll take the long way home.

I rode into work this morning in the mid 40's but the sun was shining so it felt great. It's about a 20 minute ride in. What I can't figure out is I left work early, around 3:10 & it was around 50-55 degrees, but I didn't arrive home until 5? It must have been one hell of a headwind

I woke up at work. I live above my shop. It’s cool, overcast and generally crappie out.

I just went down into the shop and pet them like puppies.

Never could have just one of anything?
