I'll bet it took a while to get there at 30mph. Shift up out first Willow.

I'm working from the home office today.

This is one day, Raymond, when your commute is longer than mine.

Maybe I'll get out for some wind at lunch.   Wink

I have been seriously bike deprived for the last 3 years.  I have done almost ALL of the daycare running both morning and afternoon, and out daycare was 1/2 way between home and work. 

On June 2nd, my 3 year old started at a Montessori pre-school only 3 doors south of my house!  And since my brother still lives with us... and has no job... HE gets morning duty with my son.

I have only driven my cage 1 day since then.  I don't remember how much gas is in it, nor do I care.  I don't remember the day I drove it last either.  Yes I do.  I drove it to the office on Saturday, because I picked my buddy (he works for me) up to do some OT Sat morning and he had to bring his 7 year old in with us, so I was cool enough to bring the cage...  OH well. 

I am slowly scouring the PMS cobwebs out of my brain.

Nice ride in this morning.  Seventy-eight degrees; roads almost dry.

It was rumored that anyone in East Kansas this morning who didn't ride in is in danger of losing his motorcycle endorsement.

Not usually worth mentioning when I ride in, but since work today is ~750 miles from home, I'll register it.

Just moved into the new house and, for the first time in six months, was able to go out to the garage and grab the Valk to ride to work.   It iwas a great ride this morning.  65 degrees and lots of sunshine.  It's good to be back in the wind.   Grin

I’ll be going to an interview tomorrow, if I get the job I will only have a mile drive to work.  The fat lady won’t be getting much exercise, but my bicycle will!!  I’ll put on 20 miles to and from work, haven’t moved the truck since my wife took it to pick up our daughter from soccer practice, the van was getting a break job and I wasn’t done yet! 

Last year I only put 3000 miles on the truck and 12,000 on the cycle!!  It’s funny when fall comes my co-workers ask if I bought a new truck, they don’t remember me having one ‘cause I’m riding the cycle rain or shine all summer!!

Rode last Friday and today...  too much torrential rain for me to ride when I don't have to.  Besides, driving the big Dodge is like the opposite end of the spectrum.  I'll post a pic of it so y'all will know what I'm talking about.  

Hot ride home today, but was still nice and didn't get the slightest bit wet.  Smiley

Hey to everyone, I rode to work today. It just makes it go better it seems knowing the bike is out there waiting for me when I get off work everyday.

Ride on ya'll. The picture is NOT a day I rode to work.

I think I have driven the cage 3 days this month.  My brother has more miles in it than I do for sure, taking my other, crippled, brother to doctor's appointments.

I have been on one Valk or the other the rest of the time.

I like it a lot. 

It was ALMOST cold this AM.  I should have grabbed a sweatshirt.

It's been a great month.
