Uh oh, rain? Oh, and motorcycles!

Well, we're supposed to have our big Angel Flight rally at Conroe (CXO) tomorrow, but now they're saying a 60% or better chance of T-storms. Looks like I better take the rain gear!

Did somebody say "motorcycles"? Oh, that was me! Yes, you heard it here first folks, I'm planning to get my motorcycle license. We're looking at dates to take a training class as soon as we can find time. I've ridden a LOT of miles on a bicycle (and not the stationary kind) but never on a motorized 2-wheeler. I'm used to driving 3 and 4 wheelers with manual trannys so it shouldn't be totally foreign to me. I think I'll take the class to see how I like it. You're supposed to get about 8 hours of classroom instruction and 10 hours of riding so that should be more than enough to decide if I want to continue with it and get my own bike. Heck, it only took 5 minutes in an airplane so many years ago to know that I liked it!

I'll keep you posted.
