The weather has been good for the trees and roses, but not for riding the bike. Today, Friday, the weather was predicted to be in the 70's in the afternoon. The weather here frequently starts out cool but warms quickly for the afternoon. We thought this might be the case. We leathered up to go to the first day of the Home and Garden Show about 50 miles away. It was 57 degrees F in the carport.
We gassed up, the lady at the station admired my Skechers shoes. I explained I wore them because I planned on walking a lot today at the show.
The weather never did get any better. We had lunch not far from the Show. When we came out it had sprinkled a little. We decided we didn't want any surprises when we came out of the Show, such as rain soaked seat, even worse, snow covered seat (which has happened to us a few times), so we headed east for a little ride. The weather became cooler and cooler, so we turned west and turned towards home.
The driver, whose lips and face burn easily, had just purchased a hanky-type mouth cover. The hanky part goes around the neck and the mouth part is heavier material. The hanky is blue and mouth part is a black diamond shaped part.
We decided to buy sandwiches so we could watch the basketball games in peace without being bothered with cooking and dishwashing problems. We stopped at Subway. I ran in, got our sandwich and came out. The driver was standing by the bike with his mask on, dark glasses and helmet, and he's tall. He looked like a total bad guy. I told him he looked scarey. He said that must be why those little kids looked worried when they saw him and their mom asked him if he was OK! He'll have to be careful where/when he wears it. He said it worked great against the cold wind. I guess my suggestion that he cover his mouth with duct tape won't actually take place now. That might be scarey, as well; but we could draw some teeth on it . . .
If he duct tapes his mouth, won't his moustache come off? Then you'll have to draw teeth and a stach.....
