Weather (April 28, 2015)

Not a whole lot to say, other than it has been quite wet and windy for the past several days ... quite wet and windy.

Tornadoes and torrential downpours in Eastern Texas.  I am currently in Slidell, LA and heading to Gulfport, MS today ... more of the same is expected ... wet and windy (and I am not speaking of tailwinds!!).

Slidell is located about 30 miles northeast of New Orleans ... New Orleans, where a few railroad cars were blown off of an overpass yesterday.  As I say, weather.

Don't know if the adjacent picture adequately shows it, but my fingertips are white and wrinkled from riding in the rain ... kind of similar to if one has been in a pool for an extended time.  Fortunately, it is not very cold, so the weather related discomfort is primarily due to continuous rain.

So, 'tis time to don my rain jacket and pants, and head out into "it" one more time.  Weather .... jeeeez.

  1. Yup, the photo looks like you've been immersed in a pool or a bath tub for quite some time. Come on, Randy, fess up! You're not really donning your rain gear and heading out into "it" -- you're continuing to soak in the hot tub at that lush hotel in Slidell, waiting for the weather to pass, while acquiring the wrinkly fingers to make it appear as though you are a hardcore bike tourist. Your photo is very convincing, bad ass! ;)

  2. Me thinks I agree with comment posted by Sarah! You're soaking it up in the hot tub!

    I have to say I am glad you have had "weather" other than Oregon "weather" (snow, hail, rain, wind).

    Ride like the wind Bullseye!
