Where did you ride today?

No, not really. We have a lot of evergreen trees. Firs, hemlock, some pine. Many of the deciduous tree leaves turn brown and fall off. All mess, no fun. I have a vine maple outside the kitchen window that'll turn a bright red, but its still green.

Just bad timing.

Went to our investment property in Williams Lake, headed out at 6:23 am Friday morning,got to the property by 2:08 pm. Cleaned and repaired a few things on the Trailer Saturday, which means a few trips into town, 18 kilometers round trip. Woke up 6:00 am Sunday ,had Cheerios and instant coffee for breakfast,then packed Lady and closed up the trailer and disconnected the electricity and left by 9:30 for home, stopped at Tim Horton's for more breakfast. Left Tims by 10 am got home by 5:45 pm.

Went to pick up my prescription pain medication—Tylenol #4s and some jewelry for my wife that I won in an auction to benefit an animal shelter.
 
Nothing special to report. Went to Costco for a hearing aid appt. Then to Trader Joe's to pick up flowers for my 98 yr old FIL. Then to Whole Foods to return some crab meat. As my wife put it, the crab meat tasted like dog poop. Not having tasted dog poop or that particular crab meet, I can only take her word for it. But it did smell like low tide, which probably means it is better left for seagulls.

The parking lot at Whole Foods was jammed. But on a motorcycle, one can almost always find a parking space.

No ride today, still drizzly/miserable weather!
Supposed to be decent on Thursday so expect to ride out to MiL house to mow and mulch leaves.
 
A lady rider in the Seattle area once posted something I've never forgotten. "If you don't ride in the rain in Seattle, you don't ride." Another saying I've heard is there's no such thing as bad weather...just bad gear.

Go out and ride...and enjoy!

I have never liked riding in rain!
Especially since an incident 40 years ago when a cage decided it wanted my space on the road!
My reaction was to kick a dent into their door and never ride in rain, especially at night again!

That also applies to Vancouver BC area , or the Wet Coast, most admit the ST is pretty good at handling wet weather, but at 65 I prefer Sunny warm days, ironic part of riding in the rain is most engines give you more power than the tires can handle.
