Tempting rain out of Mother Nature

We rolled out with Dad this morning for a short tour through the countryside tempting Mother Nature to rain. Yesterday we reached the 29th day of 100+ temps. Needless to say it's a bit toasty in these parts. What we got out of the ol' gal was a few healthy spits over about a 3 mile stretch out in the country northeast of town - not even enough to do more than sizzle on the pavement. It was cooler riding under the clouds when the winds turned out of the north. We'll take near 90 instead of 105 on the thermometer anytime. Otherwise, we shared a cup of coffee with Dad in Burkburnett and wolfed down a couple of sausage biscuits.

So, reporting 49.6 s'miles under cloudy, spittin' skies.

Just a country morning ride on roads the man has travelled more times than we can count...
