Another nice road trip

[gkamer]

So I took myself for a little ride to Fairchild AFB this afternoon. A little breezy on I-90, so my arms got a good work out. Riding into the wind kind of sucks. Forgot to bring my mask, and the Base Commander directed masks must be worn inside all facilities, so I just rode around for a little bit and left.

Then I rode into Spokane. Traffic was kind of crazy. Coming onto Sunset Hill from the airport, WHAT!!!!! One stretch of that road nearly shook what little teeth I have left out of my jaw bones. I managed to catch every green light from Maple St to Division St. I love when your speed is synced to the traffic lights.

Rode around in Spokane for a while, then decided to head home. Tried my luck going up Sunset Hill this time. (I must be a glutton for punishment). That side of the road was actually pretty nice.

Got onto I-90 from Geiger Blvd. I was riding with the wind this time so it was pretty nice. At least until I hit the construction zone just west of Cheney. There was a car in front of me and a cattle hauler in front of him. Open air riding suddenly took on a whole new meaning. Nothing can quiet compete with the delightful aroma of Cow Country. "Merica..... (Note to self, avoid trailing cattle trucks in the future.):lecturef_smilie:

Just a quick side note. I actually live about 60 miles west of Spokane, WA.

I was in traffic in my truck one day when a guy in an expensive (convertible) sports car started coming up behind. He was in and out of traffic, switching lanes and trying to make sure everybody saw him. Then he made -- the move. Pulling up to a stop light he pulled in next to a cattle hauler and became boxed in. From my perspective several vehicles back I could see what was going to happen. Sure enough before the light changed the flow from the hauler started, and that cow had the scours. He began hopping around in the seat flailing his arms and yelling but there was nothing any of the other cars could do until the light changed. About a block down the road I passed him off on the shoulder trying to take his tie off over his head without untying it.

Karma!
