Early ride tomorrow.

RUOkie 06-29-13 08:26 PM

how long should my ride be tomorrow? High temp of 81 with calm winds. This is unheard of in late June. I'm thinking 100K to honour our non USA friends prior to July 4.

He would use the hook as a roach clip, then take off his arm and pass it around. A great conversation starter.

that kind of hook is stil the most efficient prosthesis for most tasks.

I actually had a hard time getting new shoes tonight. Just wanted something easy on the eyes and casual with a dock sole on it.

That sounds like a good plan.

August. Somebody might be compiling the coverage in order to have a TdF viewing marathon at the end of the event.

Or maybe March. Somebody might be compiling the coverage to watch on the trainer over the winter.

Rowan 06-29-13 08:58 PM

We get our coverage so the finishes are between 1.30 and 2.30 in the morning. If it gets too much to stay, and after one night, I am almost at the point, I will settle for the potted coverage at 6.30pm. I read the reports in between and it's no biggie. It is news after all.

RUOkie 06-29-13 09:22 PM

Well, that was interesting. Apparently one of my neighbors has more money than sense. I just saw a professional quality fireworks display for the past 30 min. Set off in the middle of a residential neighborhood.

At least the director of the 911 call center lives across the street.

Take plenty to drink.

Was it a good show?

yes it was. But with no firetrucks standing by, it is not the smartest of ideas.

How early?

You would hope his householder insurance with public liability would be up to date, too. A piece of firework landing on someone's property and setting it ablaze might prove to be ugly, both in reality and in the courts.

Here not legal in city limits but doesn't stop the idiots.

Rowan 06-29-13 09:53 PM

I edge closer and closer to that magical five-figure mark.

Does something special happen when the odometer ticks over?

:D

PS: It will take a little longer. Machka and I are about to depart for a ride. We've got to take advantage of the nice weather while it lasts.

that's exactly why I was sitting outside with my hose hooked up and in my hand

Charging them with arson here is working too.

Waiting for the magic.
