Good morning!!!!

[300UGUY]

Good evening all. 75F this morning high of 91F sunny, light breeze. Got back from bike ride yesterday, 430 mile in 7 days riding, lot of Civil war stuff in the area, in addition to the earthquake stuff. Very flat ride, several days had less feet of climb than on training rides 1/2 the distance! Mowed today and had 2 hour nap wife woke me up to see if I was alright.
Still catching up on thread, about 120 posts behind :confused2:

Where was the civil war stuff. My bucket list includes Gettysburg, Vicksburg, Appamatox. I read everything I can on the war.

68 right now and a high of 80 today. Looks like a couple cooler days ahead of us, which will be nice.

7 continuous days on bike, I am little envious. Were you riding in a group ? At least if it was flat you would be able to talk to one another, instead of gasping for breath up climbs.

Good morning. Again I find myself looking back with fond memories of the days that started with the clang of a mechanical wind up alarm clock, with no concept of a "snooze" button to postpone getting up in a morning. No trying to get back to that nice dream, it was get up immediately, plain and simple.

This morning my mobile phone played it's little tune to tell me it was market day, so no snoozing, but my head, still in a blur, knew just enough to tell my right arm that there was nothing going to market today, so my right arm made a half hearted attempt to turn the alarm off. If head and arm had simply worked together for a few seconds more, I would have had an extended lay in and woken up refreshed, instead of now feeling like I have a hangover.

For the next half hour, alarms of every description played at seemingly random intervals. Each time my head didn't want to know what was going on and told my right arm to sort it. My right arm did it's best, but without a head to help, it's attempts to bring peace and calm would last for only a few minutes at best. Eventually my brain stayed conscious enough to conclude the "app" had slipped from alarm clock mode to torture mode.

I will be okay soon, I just need a little nap ...

72 going to 90 and muggy...maybe storms later.

Eric, may I suggest that your wife get up earlier than you, and take the privilege of serving as your living, loving alarm clock by giving you a sweet "good morning dear" whisper and kiss? Wait, I'm still asleep dreaming .

Let me know if you come this way for Appomattox. There are some other interesting battlefields nearby, like Fredericksburg, Petersburg, Spotsylvania, Wilderness, North Anna, Cold Harbor and others.

75 balmy degrees this morning high of 88 later and severe storms creep back into the picture for later today. The on going heat wave out west must be unbearable

Good morning all. 74 here this morning going to 87 with a 50% chance of storms this evening. Some may be severe, some headed this way this morning but will likely break up on the mountains and not amount to anything. Have a few things to do today but nothing much. Have a great day. Ed

91, 93, 97, next three days. Glad I'm headed to the shore later this morning.
Eric I think the right word is groggy. And perhaps a cobweb or two. Drinking my coffee just thinking about it. You must have a real Big Ben alarm clock. Don't all Brits?

Coffee has been poured. 50° with clear skies this morning. Heading to 80° with partly sunny skies. Yesterdays thunderstorms just diapered off radar about 50 miles west of me. Another doctor appointment today. Want to get back on tractor to cut lawn at a slow speed.
Wngsprd, I had coworker that told me he had to take his wife with him in the morning. She was too ugly (like let me sleep) to kiss goodby in the morning.
Eric, control the alarm clock and iPhone. Much easier than other options.
Mostly_gas, sitting on bike seat for one whole day would be to much for me. Let alone 7. Very impressive ride.
Those down in the SW heat dome stay cool.
Good Morning All.
