Friday the local media were forecasting Biblical floods , frogs and pestilence.
We decided to push the ride back a couple of hours and do a weather check Saturday morning.
Saturday morning the radar showed the storm passing by 10-12 AM.

We had a couple of mechanical problems -
*John’s tailgate latch broke and we had to muscle the bike out of the truck.
*I left my backpack unzipped and lost my roast beef sandwich.
*On the way home the engine light came on in my RAM3500.
