Good morning!!!!

[dave1949]

Morning all.

Mid 60s this morning. We've already had a few passing showers, with heavy rain and storms predicted for most of the day. Looks like an inside day-good day to re-arrange the office. Hope to get a walk in today.

79 and sunny tomorrow. Back on the bike with that kind of weather. Perhaps cars will stop at the stop signs again. Still sore from yesterday's debacle. Car ran a stop sign. It was raining. I locked up the brakes and boom-down I went. Lots of road rash from skidding on pavement and a nice hematoma on the right hip. Looks like a third butt cheek with heavy bruising. Bike was only minimally damaged, so it could have been worse.

Ouch! Hope you heal up quickly. Not seeing a two-wheeler is one thing, running stop signs is idiotic. I see people do it here too, roll through so fast they can't possibly see much.

Those hematoma or contusion lumps can stick around for years unfortunately.

Wow Scott, Glad you're OK....

Good Morning. 1015 partly cloudy, 52F with 84% humidity. Forecast high of 69F with 40% chance of rain this afternoon, and a low of 58F tonight. More rain overnight and tomorrow. I didn't get up early enough to get in my full cardio before work, but I did get in 2 miles of walking once I got here. I will need all the calories in the bank I can get as tonight's event is a Quinceanera. That is when a girl of Mexican decent turns 15. This is my 2nd one this year, and they are big, big events.

There is a FSU basketball game that will be overlapping the FSU football game this afternoon. So I will be streaming audio for basketball while watching football. And just praying none of my customers interrupt my juggling act by making me do work

Drew, one of those soft hot and cold bags would do the trick with your towel and clothes. You might throw them in the dryer for a few minutes before zipping them in the bag.

Sseelhoff, be careful out there. Stupid drivers was what made me get rid of my motorcycle a few years back. I had three close calls in three days, and I treated it as a sign from God. Since bicycles are even harder to see, and offer less protection, bad endings are common when distracted drivers are thrown into the mix.

Hope everyone has a good weekend,

Larro

Good morning all. 40F and cloudy this morning. 61F and continued cloudy slight chance of rain. Got all the wood I have split that is worth splitting. The overaged wood is going to the recycle center to become mulch. If the rain holds off I might get a ride in today have not ridden since Nov 6. Vet is taking the cat in today, his intestinal problems need more help than available in outpatient format.

68F and 1.25 inches rain last 24 hours. Looks like it might be trying to clear. Hope so, need to to dry up for some painting etc.

Be safe

Scott, glad your accident was not more serious. I never did like riding in the rain :thumbdown:

Drew sorry to hear of all your problems with contractors and driveway :shocked:

Pour in two glugs.
NOT one glug nor three glugs
BUT two glugs please.

Had a pretty Puerto Rican gal once tell me to add 3 or 4 glug glugs of bleach to the hot mop water. I still laugh about that when I think of it.

Drew, about those bennies the maidens want: Remember, you can't take it with you....

Ron, the VFW in Howell? M59 & Grand River? Been there quite a few times.

Dropped my wife off at work this am, going to pick her up in a bit, then we will do lunch. Saw a wild turkey that had some sort of wound, don't know if somebody was poaching, or if a coyote got it. It was still mobile, went off into the woods, so maybe she will make it. The turkeys come to my backyard a couple of times per day, to feed, and I think to rest. Being fenced in, they are safe from most predators. And my dogs don't chase them, so that helps.

I don't try to ride my mountain bike on the roads around here. Some locals, especially those with big trucks, will harass you. There seems to be a inverse correlation between how high the truck is lifted, and driver IQ.

Down here, the oilfield craziness creates literal convoys of 18 wheelers. It does make driving a bit more dangerous knowing they can't stop worth a flip. You should see a fracking convoy. Sometimes 20 or more big trucks.
