Worry is wasted, some folks say; and sometimes, it is.

I was concerned about the weather for today. Forecasts had been predicting rain; and I wasn’t sure what time it might arrive. This morning it was overcast; but it wasn’t raining yet.

So I checked NOAA; and it indicated that the rain wasn’t due until late morning/early afternoon. It showed a wind advisory from noon until midnight, though; and I wasn’t keen on having to battle it!

I figured I had enough of a weather-window to make a trip to the salvage store; and I did. I didn’t take the trailer, because I didn’t want to be dragging it along if the wind kicked up.

It wasn’t raining; but it was foggy/misting. I wound up having to take off my sunglasses so I could see! The ones I have aren’t photochromatic; so it looked a bit dark when I was wearing them.

I got home around 10:00 am; and about an hour later, it was drizzling. As of now, 12:25 pm, the expected strong wind hadn’t arrived. The main problem actually looks like gusts up to 30-40 mph.  That’s enough to blow me away if I’m up there on the levee; and I’m glad it’s expected to calm down by tomorrow morning. So worry is wasted — this time, anyway.

For a few weeks, my Sunday ride has been rather short; and I want to work back up to  40 miles or so. The temperature tomorrow will be good for riding: mid-50s to low-60s; and clear.  We might get T-storms this afternoon; and I’ll be glad to get them over with while I’m indoors!
