I feel like the kid in third grade who got loads of homework to do over the weekend. Somehow this dot net site is active; and it still has kinks that I need to work out! But that might have to wait for next week, because it involves know-how that I don’t have.
Why do Pages appear with code showing? How did some products in the Shop get transferred in duplicate; and even in triplicate? I know this much; last night I got too tired to wrestle with it any more; and, as usual, there were dishes to wash!
This morning I let homework go; and rode to the salvage store, even though I had some misgivings about the weather. The forecast predicted showers; and possible T-storms.
At 7:30 am it was overcast; but not raining. I decided to risk it and head for the salvage store; and I packed along the poncho. I knew I might need it. As it turned out, I was right.
So It Went
As I rode, the sky got darker; but I got to the store without anything worse than a few brief sprinkles; and once I saw a bolt of lightning (far away, luckily). While I was waiting for the store to open, it began to rain harder. It’s a good thing the building’s entrance is sheltered; so I could stay dry.
While I was in the store, I heard it pouring. There was more thunder, too; but the storm was moving pretty fast. When I got out of the store, the rain had almost stopped.
Even so, I donned the poncho for the ride home; including putting the hood up. Halfway home, I had to stop and put that hood back down because I was getting too hot. I was glad not to be hauling the trailer, because I didn’t like what I saw in my rearview mirror.
I saw a black sky; and now and then I heard rumbles of thunder. If it was going to storm, I wanted to beat it back home; and pulling that trailer slows me down.

I still had over a mile to go when I saw a big bolt of lightning off to the right; and it wasn’t more than two miles away. Then I caught up to the rain that had passed over the salvage store!
By then I had only a quarter-mile to go before I reached home; and I decided it wasn’t worth stopping to put the poncho’s hood back up. I could get home in the time it would take to do that; and I just kept going.
Since I got home, there hasn’t been much more rain; and maybe I’ll ride to the closest grocery store later for bananas and grapes. As of 11:45 am, it was still overcast and drizzly; and I didn’t feel like getting wet again.
Besides, there’s more homework for me: I want to cook something to use up the cauliflower in the fridge; of course there are dishes to be washed; I have to do laundry; and I have to plan tomorrow’s long ride. I get so tired of homework!
