Default dang weather...

Going to be 70 here today and I could not ride this morning. The Fog was so think you could not see my cars through the open garage door.

I could have ridden.... but I have become too used to living.


grrr.... Weather this year has been hateful.

Our facilities person is a retard and from day to day you cannot guarantee if you are going to melt or freeze in our cubes. If today was a freezing day it would have sucked to be wearing wet jeans.

I guess I could have gone in later... but then I have to leave later.

I like getting here by 7 so I can leave around 3:30 or 4

Yeah, that would suck! [&:]

I'm lucky in that I have an actual office (even if it is a little thing!) and can control the temp myself. I get to work at 7:30..it was 42f when i left the house this am. It's still only 43F...it's going to have to hurry IF it's going to reach 70f today!

yeah, I know, I made it 1/2 mile down the road until I hit thicker fog, glasses went "poof" and fogged over, couldn't see a bloomin thing, so I turned around and brought the bike home. Fog was bad all the way to work, wish I could have left later.
