Will I be able to ride in this morning? 🌧️

Going to be tough with those rain clouds to the west threatening to make for a wet commute around 8 AM. Just showers but they can make you very wet riding your mountain bike to work.

I should call today to see where the truck cap stands, 🛻 but I’ll probably be busy and not wanting to curse out my luck. Maybe next week is better, though it would be nice if I had the truck cap before Memorial Day Weekend so I could move the solar and batteries over during the long weekend. 🏕️ I might hammock camp next weekend depending if it’s as warm and sunny as this weekend. Tomorrow though I’ll probably stay in town, maybe ride over to the Pine Hollow Arboretum and to the grocery store to pick up a few supplies – maybe some frozen fruit and more Stevia but I doubt I need to ride all the way over to Wally World for that. Although, it seems like my SD card reader isn’t working – cable strain issues cause it to fail next steps the bin and fire – so maybe I need.

Not sure if I will be able to make it in withut getting soaked 🚵 but I am going to try and just bring a rain coat. I like the bike ride in, much better then the stress of driving the SuperDuty in the city or taking the bus. Worse comes to worse, I can put the bike on the bus, like at the Bike Trail Station and catch the BusPlus most of the way to work. That limited stop service is pretty quick. 🚌 Or I won’t melt if I get a bit wet. ⛈ It’s not like I haven’t gotten into my office a bit wet a few times before.

With the summer season coming, 🛟 😎 🏄 and having some down time in the office, I’ve been working at fixing and improving some long standing bugs and broken links on blog, and continuing to develop content that hopefully will draw more traffic to blog for more revenue before the big bill is due to renew my hosting contract. While I’m certainly not getting rich off the blog – it produces $1,000 in ad revenue a year and maybe $500 or $600 in expenses – it’s better then for many years when I paid for the hosting without getting any ad revenue at all. It’s fun telling  my story, sharing things I find interesting, maps, charts, and other things of interest. 🔎 Especially with AI these days, there is much I can use to build both on my own knowledge and the wisdom of the internet distilled down by AI.
