Three in a Row

For the third morning in a row I was out riding in the rain. This is getting old, especially considering that I've also ridden home from work in the rain twice. I guess it could be worse. It's not cold, so an hour in the rain on the bike isn't all that terrible, especially with fenders to keep the spray off your feet and back. It does have its down side, though. For one thing, I can never really push myself very hard when it's raining and I'm all alone. The other problem is that I probably get a flat on 30% of the rides I do in the rain. Thursday's ride was one of them. I keep meaning to put some Mr. Tuffy's in the tires of my rain bike, but of course I never think about the rain bike until it rains. So apparently I picked the worst possible week to be without a car. But wait. There's more.....

The Vuelta de Acadiana is this weekend over in Lafayette and I have a couple of problems I haven't had time to work out yet. The freshly repaired LAMBRA race clock is sitting in my office. There's a brand new LAMBRA generator waiting for me over at Freret Hardware. Did I mention that I don't have a car right now? Both need to be in Lafayette early Saturday morning, preferably along with me.

At least the bathroom is finally kinda sorta finished. Everything is painted, a couple of shiny new cabinet latches have been installed, a transom chain has been added to the laundry hamper door, and the paint cans have been relegated to the basement where they will probably languish until I forget what's in them.
