Better luck next time; or so I hope. Do you think it might help if I got a cat like this one?

Today I set out on the road bike, and I wanted to put in about 40 miles. The sky was already overcast; and I hoped to be back home before afternoon T-storms developed. The goal: 40 miles.

So, I got to my pit-stop place; and discovered that the restrooms were locked. Whatever for? That’s inhumane! I’m lucky I didn’t urgently need a restroom; and I just went back home. But of course that meant a drastic cut to my planned mileage; 29.20 miles just doesn’t measure up against 40.

The wind this morning was almost calm; but the humidity was way up there at 88%. The clouds helped keep the temperature down a bit; and I ran into only two brief drizzles of rain. 

I decided not to go out again. There was no telling when those T-storms might fire up; but as of early afternoon, they hadn’t made an appearance. As usual in such cases, I think I could have gone for a ride; and wonder why I didn’t. Well, better luck next time! But if we are going to have T-storms, I wish they would get themselves over with! 

I checked my supply of GU-Gels; and I have to order some more of them soon. Often I’ll get two boxes at a time. I like to have more than one flavor on hand, because it helps me avoid so-called flavor fatigue!

This weekend I’m skipping the cooking. My freezer is still pretty full; and I get SO tired of washing pots and dishes! By next weekend, I’ll have to crank up my invention mill again; and think up a new Hoppin’ John variation. This time I think I’ll use canned beans, and get a few more cans out of here.
