to give the weather report.

She said it was supposed to be sunny and 70 starting in late morning.

I rode in to work under cover of dark cloud and about 1 mile from work, NOT wearing rain gear (remember the weather report), I get nailed.  Jeans, boots, jacket and helmet all soaked.  Now I'm sitting at my desk in my jeans and squishy boots listening to the rain fall on Memphis, I can't see outside becuase the BLACK clouds are blocking the light of the sun, like that of a neuclear haze.

Okay, I'm done venting.

On the good side, wet roads, rain, panic of the impending soaking I'm getting and that my nuts will sit damp for many moons today while they dry.....still enjoyed riding and didn't crash!  Life is good.  Now where is my beer.

happy friday 

Beer at work...in the morning???  Awesome!

mine usually uses the wrong zip code in the weather widgets. she has like 5 open; fort bragg, ca tampa, fl nyc, ny birmingham, al meridian, ms and oklahoma city, ok

sometimes i'll look outside and say "gee, i think you might be wrong" to see her glance around and try to find the tampa widget

picnics are more fun when it isn't raining

I don't know what to say.

I bet it was intentional.  Did you piss her off recently??

 

Rule number 1:  ALWAYS pack your rain gear.  In the midwest it can go from sunny and crystal clear to supercell thunderstorm in about 10 minutes.   

Yeah, I'm betting wrong weather widget too.

In Memphis, it doesn't change that quickly.  I am from MI and last year I was always WAY overprepared for weather.  

At any rate, it's stopped raining and the clouds are no longer black.  Perhaps it will all burn off and we'll have a nice afternoon.  

For the record, my nuts are still damp.

Go into the restroom, stand on a bucket, and stick the nozzle of the hand dryer in your pants.  Don't burn 'em.   

LOCK THE BATHROOM DOOR FIRST 

NICE!!!   

I had considered going comando, but that is a good idea too.  The dampness gives an oddly comforting cradled feeling.

don't trust the weather man

Your first mistake was not doing it yourself!

Try living in the north of england, not only can a sunny day turn to rain, 90% of the time it will. Actually, if it looks like a sunny day outside make sure you're awake and have another look, you might still be asleep...

Usually in Florida give the weather ten minutes and it will change. I guess that way  everyone is happy or pissed off whichever you want to be. The first five months I owned the bike everytime I went out it could be clear and not a cloud in the sky as soon as I get just far enough from home not to be able to turn around. A massive cloud would come up and drench me. Finally bought water proof riding pants and goretex boots and I hardly ever get caught in the middle of a downpour. Murphy's law I guess.

Seems like the boys have it out for us women today! Damn I never did anything to you guys!

Alas, I trusted my wife today and asked her to ck the weather.  She said clouds were coming in fast and we were going to get a ton of rain.  So I drove the car.   

Last night I joked about this post and the response it got. She was not happy about my attempted joke.   

Right now I sit at work and not a stinking drop of rain is within 400 miles of me, it's sunny, 65 degrees, and I can only imagine right now she is sitting out front of our house while the kids ride their bikes, smiling and smelling the sweet revenge in the breeze. 

Women.  When they do something wrong and you complain, they apologize.....but revenge is always inevitable. 

I have the 500 for one year now drive it almost every day for more han 50 kilometers.
drove one time in the rain can you believe that?
but then I live in Brasil Salvador ofcourse it rains more than one day a year but strangely mostly at night,...
I love driving around here.
