A stormy night and rainy day...

Last night was an awesome night of thunderstorms!  Lightning lit up the sky most of the afternoon and well into the evening.  Pulled a chair outside and just enjoyed the show!

Today has been an off and on drizzle most of the day.

Last night I watched as a fellow rider pulled his bike up under the second floor walkway.  After a minute I realized that I should do the same!  So I still have an exclusive covered parking spot!

Talked to him a little this afternoon.  He's a retired member of the ROMC from Oregon.  You can google that.  He rides a Road King.  On his way back to Oregon from back east... taking the scenic route, as he said.

Have an appointment this coming Thursday to get my 10K mile service done, just in time for my ride to Las Vegas next week! 

Had a thought earlier today.  As a rider, I have to be totally aware, totally engaged.  The road, traffic, weather, time, location, route, and destination.  Yet I can still take the time to notice things and decide to stop to check things out.  I am thankful for today's technology that is allowing me to share this journey; however, I am learning that I need to stop more often.  Perhaps there is a lesson there for others too...
