      If the current tag holds, I'll have it by tomorrow morning. Actually stopped tonight, got off the bike and snapped the photo with my cell phone. Forgot to send it to the "save to pics" option and ended up with a black screen.

      I'll have it by 9:00am tomorrow. Right in town and I ride by their place, every night on the way home from work.

      Promise. EVEN the same colors....

      AND...I have an additional photo for MY first shot at he game.

      To be continued...

        Soaking jackets/shirts/hankies is great for hot weather riding, but most of my riding is to work, not really ideal for that. Then again in 98 degree heat I'm such a sloth I hardly feel like even walking out to the bike.

          You'll do fine Allie. We have that weather here in CO right now (upper 90s but a tad dry - thunderstorms in the evenings) and my jacket and pants are both black (reflective vest is yellow now). I'm fine as long as I'm moving as the wind helps but yea, once I stop I can feel it. I peeled off my jacket at lunch and felt really wet and disgusting but what can you do?

            Here in Texas it's been in the triple digits and I still ride with all the gear, must admit I'm soaking wet when I get home though.

                The thing about the wind, anywhere around body temperature and it's not really helping much. It will help evaporate moisture but you're not getting any direct cooling from it. Anything above body temp and you may as well be riding in a hair dryer.

                    We're at 98º right now with a HI of 110º...
                    But what really makes it special is we lost 2 out of our 4 A/C units at work...
                    Our equipment makes a lot of heat and the repair guys won't get here until tomorrow...
                    I've got 10 unhappy women working for me right now....
                    And I'll have 8 more when the night crew gets in...

                      The heat must have everyone restricted to their a/c cars and offices?

                      Alright, 1 colorful lawn chair??? And you can move it into the shade if you'd like!

                        I went by our hardware store just yesterday and they had a bunch of colorful outdoor chairs...

                          A little later than planned BUT VUT WUT... Three chairs and three colors.



                          And a little more farm equipment. This one a Threshing Machine from the early 1900's.

                            That must have been designed by Dr. Seuss.
