That was a wet ride

Did a solo ride to Ballground to spend some time at Barrel House Coffee Company with the wonderful staff there – Sidney, Kevin and Autumn – and catch up on some reading. That part went well.

On the ride back, got caught in fairly strong rains. I had enough layers on – and it was not the soaking part that bothered me. It was the helmet visor that kept becoming too blurry.

The good news was that there was no traffic at all. So, I was able to ride back at my own sweet pace…

Small step for a man

Took the skateboard to the school behind our property to practice on the sidewalk. I was hoping nobody would be there. And other than two middle schoolers, nobody was there indeed! Except, both of them had their shortboards and were doing all sorts of tricks.

They even showed be some tricks and told me the names for those tricks. For the curious, I am nowhere near those tricks. If they were doing BC calculus, I was trying to arrange two numbers one over the other so I could add them!!!

Turns out I had not positioned the camera properly. Did not catch the mount – but here is a small snippet of the rest…
