Got caught in a hailstorm the other day with no place to duck for cover.Those quarter sized ice balls just bounced off the lid with nary a blip to the noggin. However since I ride a 'bent (rolling hammock), a catcher's cup would have been in order.

Maybe you should ride in Benbrook. That hail just passed us by. :-)

Oh man, Benbrook... the summers I spent there... Rocky Creek park, the dam... the whole area has changed dramatically since I lived there... Back in the day there was a narrow two lane blacktop road off of old Granbury road to get out to the dam and beyond... what memories.
