Default What Rain?

I see on the radar that it is coming, but man I actually had my sun glasses on today.

My morning was spoken for, had to take our dogs to the vet for their annual check-up and shots.

But when Patti went grocery shopping i decided to get the bike out. Ended up getting some new grips, so after putting them on I had t9 go back out to "test" them. LOL.

Like the new grips, but liked being out there better!

Dang gum weathermen.....they can't get anything right. Hee hee.

NO KIDDING! I did some running around in the cage, including going over to Dave's and we were confused too. Then Ken showed up and and confirmed the great weather. I got out to meet a friend for dinner, but that was less than a 10 mile ride.

Tomorrow I won't get to ride as I have a photography shot to do.

Went out to do primary/trans services and noticed blue skies.
Those fluid changes were put off. "Woman, get your lid and lets get out into the wind!"
Ran across to Killer Creek and tried to get some info from their tuner.
Absolutely astounded that he'd not dyno'd a bike with a 2-1-2 header on it.
Rode back across and stopped at a "hole in the wall" authentic Mexican joint. You know the kind... man their food is great, just don't ask too many questions... ya probably wouldn't like the answers!

Worked indoors all day. Started by meeting with some friends at Home Depot at 6:30 AM to pickup supplies. We needed to build out a dance floor for my daughters competition dance team. Anyway finished the project late in the afternoon around 4:30. Now maybe I'll get some riding in tomorrow morning, probably solo to a Starbucks for coffee and the paper.

Then Johnny came over... LOL

Ken finished the trike work on the lift and had to ride home in the rain... Well, at least someone got wet.

Man I am getting labeled as the rainmaker here aren't I?

I felt bad for Ken, Dave, it was POURING when I got to the top of your street!



Weatherman said it would rain ALL day so off to work I went in the truck. All day I was mad that it didn't rain and was nice, then got off work and it was nice until 9pm when I left Dave's. Could have rode but no "its going to pour ALL day"..... GRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR

I'm just glad that, when he did leave, he didn't take out any of those deer you saw when you were on your way in ... Mary would not have been a happy camper.

I agree! Didn't see any deer on the way out, that loud, great sounding trike ( HINT HINT KEN) scared them all off!!
