What's the weather like where you are?

Does 97% humidity conjure up a boggy picture? That's what I'm dealing with after an additional .13" of rain fell overnight. It is overcast with rain in the forecast all day today and into the early hours of Friday. Everything is wet, and at 69°, I don't expect it to dry out anytime soon. I have most of my Wednesday mow schedule and all of today's waiting for a dry window that I only hope materializes.

E-Bikes

I actually had a window to ride just a bit. It rained over night and into the afternoon before taking a break. It wasn't a hard rain but it was always raining some. I had what look to be a hour or so spot between rains and I loaded up my mow stuff and went to the one yard that I knew would need my attention. It is a large property on the country club golf course that warrants it being a priority. I got the front mowed when it started sprinkling. I trimmed and blew off the hard surfaces in a fairly hard rain. So much for future radar timing. I will have to get back when it finally quits raining and do the back yard.
After dinner there was another lag in the rain. I decided I would use the slot to ride. I only managed two loops before it was dark. I logged 24 miles, was splattered with a lot of water off of the roads and sidewalk, and had a great time. I was the lone guy out tonight. It felt great to ride and I experienced zero problems with my bike.

Epic wins solo?

Coin op Williams Defender. The developers never envisioned that a high score could even get close to 1 Million, so there was no 7th digit in the counter. I played that thing for hours, racking up points, until the firmware started freaking out around 950,000 points. Everything I shot added an additional life; and when the score rolled the odometer the entire world blew up; the score reset at 0; and all was back to the beginning. People would watch me play in amazement: my high score was 2,260,000 points when, after so many hours of play time and with so many lives racked up, I just walked away and let them play it out.

In my day ...

Well, in MYYY day, we used to chase our fuel; on lucky days we'd catch one of these and drop in the tank; would last about a fourth-stone's-age!
Bad mileage though, had to unclog the tank and throw away all those glassy rocks that formed; looked like prisms.
(We didnt have an Auto-Zone or O-Reilly's; but the "Rock-N-Roll Parts" and the local "StoneZone" werent much help)
