So how many time have you been asked, or have YOU asked "Hot enough fer ya?!"
Well aside from needing a slap your damn straight!
This is the ugly side of Florida. Summertime varying from torrential downpours to oppressive humidity and stifling heat! Here's a real common sense no brainier: When you ride, unless you have to commute at certain time, hit the streets in the early am before the sun hits the horizon, or take nice ride at night. Honestly, that's my favorite time. Your day is over, you've had a meal the sun has set and there's an almost constant calming breeze (or is that the fact that you're moving?) and if you stick to side streets and neighborhoods very little traffic. BUT remember to have both front and rear lights! Police with little else to do LOVE to pull over cyclists without 'em! Keep your chin up Florida! Before you know it we will be through this and will be complaining 'bout how cold it is!
ANYWAY!
We are deep into the "WTNWTMW" pile as we await our papers from the Gestapo to resume buying and even though our production has diminished somewhat (from four a day to about one) but we still have much to pull from! Finished up a SWEEEET Shogun road bike yesterday and have tore down a three speed three wheeler AND a classic Puch 3 speed that is identical to one of mine and this one even has working friction lights! SAH-WEEEEET! Also fixin to have Terry start hauling some of the overflow back from our shed! This is where the REAL diamonds in the rough are kept! Classic rides that at one point were backyard weed catchers! But under the wrench and spray gun will live yet again!
So with that I'd best get to work!
SHOGUN ROAD BIKE! ONLY $165.00!! |
I saw it hand-painted on an old pickup truck's rear bumper years ago: "IT AIN'T THE HEAT, IT'S THE STUPIDITY". Yep. Me, I tell people if it didn't get hot here, the tourists would NEVER go home.
ReplyDeleteAs for me, I'll be out on my bike before sun up tomorrow, and plan to be home before it gets hot. If we didn't suffer in the summer around here, how would we ever appreciate the winters?
Hi-ho!
