dig, andy, dig!

Being a one car family, I rely on my bike to get me to work almost every day. Shinobu relies on the car to get the daily chores done and to get Luke and Mark around town.

The forecast was rain for today. Wake up to drizzle. If I can just get to work before it really starts…

Out of the door to a few drops. Skies above darkening. Head to the coast. Pools of water everywhere. Just missed a heavy shower it seems. Take a right up the coast. Crazy wind on my back. Dry above. Getting soaked from below. Up the coast it’s really dark now. Just where I’m heading. Being sucked into the eye of the storm. Last couple of kilometers and it really starts. Bouncing rain. Head down. Limit the damage. Goal.

At work hang up the clothes. Stuff the shoes with newspaper. They’ll still be damp on the way home.

Wet all the way home too. Open the garage door. Stretch out the rollers. Quick towel dry of the bike. Jump on. Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds. Dig, Andy, Dig!!!
