What's It All About?

Follow me, or better yet join me as I journey into my sixties... enjoying my grandchildren... trying to stay healthy and fit... maybe some traveling and whatever else tickles my fancy.

Forecast This...

I got up last night and the first thing I did was check the weather to see if I could possibly get a ride in sometime during the morning... it looked good, for a 10 AM ride... temperatures in the 70's, cloudy but no rain until after noon... so that was the plan. I got the GPS set up just the way I wanted it and I was going to see if my configurations were OK on an actual ride.

Around 8:30 AM I looked outside and it was foggy, but visibility wasn't too bad. The street didn't look too wet from the dissipating fog, so I was thinking I might start my ride at 9:30 instead... I shave and brush my teeth and get presentable for the outside world... and I check the forecast one more time because the skies did look a little threatening, but they told me no rain before noon... sure enough them weathermen thought it was a good idea to move the rain ahead 2 hours, the rain was now scheduled to arrive sometime after 10 AM...  grrrr... I wasn't going to waste my time with a half hour ride... Shave or no shave... oh well, we'll try again tomorrow.

...and it didn't rain until almost 11:00.
