Bicycles Rock

 Still riding my trusty Treks every day. Good for heart, circulation, but mostly good as a  mental stress valve.

Weather is not an exact science

 


Last night, today’s forecast was for on and off rain. Starting early.

12 hours later:

Eight o'clock. No riding bicycle  today. Rain forecast. The popular weather company, their app, chance of rain by 8:15. Looking out to a dry neighborhood, I figure I’ll ride till it starts . Then finish on stationary cycle. 8:30 , overcast, cool, a breeze feeling great. Still was that a drop? Just a couple of spits. 9:00 , nothing. 9:30 I’ve done my 16 miles. Dry as a bone. Weather guessers now saying rain by 11:30. Ok so I gas up the mowers . Lawn done by 10:30. Dry …. Weather app says rain after 4pm.


It’s never going to rain today. The National weather service will figure that out sometime late afternoon. Not before. And no this isn’t Trumps fault . Budget cuts. That has NOTHING to do with it. The weather service simply doesn’t have a clue. Never has, never will.


I could have stayed in bed for a couple more hours. But I’ve seen this show before. And everything I wanted to get done is done.


We sure could use that rain though. Maybe someday.
