Howdy,

:tab Well, I was hanging out with Beth Friday night watching a movie at home when, like the flip of a switch, my sinuses went haywire. By Saturday morning I was feeling kind of peculiar. We still went riding Saturday morning and got rained on a little. That could not have been good for me. Then, Sunday morning, the weather is perfect, I mean totally perfect! We had to go meet an accountant friend and waste most of the day trying to figure out our taxes :angryfir: I could just feel the day slipping away... By the time we got home late in the afternoon, the sinuses were kicking my butt. I figured I'd be better off not riding the bike and had to watch a beautiful evening fade away. So now I am sitting here feeling a little spaced out from sniffing so hard all weekend :brainsnap I just hope it is nice next weekend because we have a ride out into East Texas scheduled. Hopefully my head will feel a little more normal by then.

:tab To really rub in the fact that I wasn't going to get to ride, we ran into some other riding friends on our way home from doing taxes. They were out enjoying the incredible day. We had not seen them in nearly a year. It was nice to catch up with them again. Apparently one of them had a nasty encounter with a large pile of horse poop :puke: It was all over his boot and the side of his ST1100. Fortunately, he did not lose control of the bike.

:tab So now I'm sitting here watching the depressing coverage of the war in Iraq. Hope you got to do some riding this weekend.

At least you got to ride! Yesterday was an absolutely perfect day in North Texas, like you said. Unfortunately, my SV is waiting on its new chain and sprockets. :(

Hopefully, next weekend will be nice, too.

All this pollen is playing havoc with my lungs and sinuses.

I agree with Kidder, at least you got to ride this weekend. Weather was pretty crummy here in Austin on Saturday so I went to Woods and got some break fluid, oil filter and other nic-nacs for the upcoming oil change and break bleed (also had to just look around and sit on the new silver VFR, sweet, and the new SV1000S they had. Too many bikes not enough money).

Then sunday had to spend the day cleaning house. The wife was coming home after being out a few days and i had to clean up the 3 days worth of lounge around watching basketball all night crap.

So no riding last weekend. Hopefully the weather will be nice Saturday so I can get out.
