High Spirits (And Winds)

Tracking for Today via Ham Radio and GPS/APRS

Jacque and I decided we'd ride our separate Catrikes today.  When we trailered them down to the pavement of Frost Road we decided to ride separate directions and meet in the middle somewhere:  I went west for the initial Post Office run (BAH, nothing but midweek ads) and Jacque rode east toward Mountain Valley Road.  Going west to the P.O. wasn't a bad ride, and didn't take too long today.  Racing east to catch up to Jacque and the dogs was even easier, but SURPRISE when we turned west again to return home: The wind had REALLY come up stiff and cool.   It slowed us down a bit but overall, the ride was well worth it.  Jacque's new knee started stiffening up on her so I rode ahead back to the Ford Exploder and trailer so I could pick her up before she wore herself out on the return leg.
As I finally caught up with Jacque and the girls, Lilly spotted me and of course started whining.  Some welcoming greeting, huh, but that's the way she rides.....
