I washed the bikes, went for short spin, realized how hot it was and went back into the house.

Can't do any riding till Monday... cause I'm on call... and can't ever hear the damn phone ring... and the vibrate function isn't worth a damn.

but it's all good...

not like there's a lot of intresting places to ride in MS...

Decided to ride while running my errands today. I didn't ride all week cause the weather was rainy and tomorrow I can't ride.

Nice to get out, even just for a short ride.

I rode to work everyday this week and got rained on coming home each day, so not riding today was no biggie for me although it would have been a more enjoyable ride on my favorite local roads.

Ha that was me last summer! I was working about 60 miles from home and gas was $4 a gallon so I'm going to ride my bike. Well being new to the area, I didn't realize that a 30% chance of rain is basically a guarantee in this part of the country!!! Man I got soaked at least twice of week!!! I'm sure you know how it rains down this way, like the bottom fell out or someone flushed the toilet!!!

True but it's still better than the "doom and gloom" predictions. According to them we should be at about $5+ a gallon right now.

Good to see Im not the only one who thinks the vibrate on the storm sucks. I cant even feel it if Ive got the phone in a holster on my belt at work unless Im standing still.
