Hit the floor with a vengeance, this morning.. Time to get all those Arkansas bugs off the Green Vulcan and air the old thing out a little bit.. Talked to a couple of the pards and they tell me it's already raining to the West of us and heading my way.. WTF is that all about ? These weather folks were talk- ing about some pretty nice weather this weekend and now all of a sudden, we've got rainstorms in the forecast.. hmmm.. Should have been suspicious in the first place.. No one seems to be capable of predicting what it's going to be doing from one day to the next.. This time of year, in Texas.. the weather is almost impossible to forecast, don't it ? I thought about taking the Green One out for a bit and riding in some rain.. that's maybe loosen up some of those bugs.. but, it occurred to me that the old Vulcan is tougher than me and endurance isn't one of my strong points, these days.. Besides, the Mexican has got one hundred and one honey- do's lined up.. Unless I can make up some kind of lame ex- cuse .. looks like I'll be sorta locked in at LaCasa, at least for today.. Whoops.. the five day forecast just came on and now they are predicting rain for the next week, including to- morrow.. Ah well.. guess I needed to kinda rest up after the Mena trip..
