Raindrops-Lost Rides-Electrical Shocks






So...I took my bike with me to Parkersburg today hoping to get in a ride. I was going to try and catch up with KH for a ride but she has boo-boo knee and couldn't make it. Went to check out the Parkersburg Bike Shop http://www.athensbicycle.com/












Met Greg, real nice guy. They have a great selection of Park Tools, Pedro fluids, Trek, Fisher and Cannondale bikes. Check them out.




Ok, got on the road after my short GPS guided tour of a few Parkersburg neighborhoods trying to get back to the interstate. What's up with the serious lack of convenience stores out by 50 and I-77? I had no water, a bad attitude, and no sure source of maps for Northwood. Needless to say, I drove on planning to check out a lap at Watters Smith State Park near Lost Creek http://www.watterssmithstatepark.com/. The clouds looked a little bleak so I thought I would check out radar on the smartphone






The only clouds were headed directly for guess where?????



I get 30 feet from entrance to park amd guess what? Rain

So I decide to head home and do some around the house projects since I had no workout clothes in the car so no stopy at the Y.

The biggest lesson of the night, when working with fluorescent lights (plug-in type) wait a few minutes after unplugging, before handling them. It definately felt weird with the voltage going through my body. I can honestly say I feel it in my heart but it doesn't seem like it will be a lasting impact. WOW, all this from a small light. Who would have thunk??

That will be all for now...
