I took off early this afternoon to go on a long motorycle ride with my son. We have not ridden together in almost a year. He had the day off so took care of some business in the morning then about 2 pm we were off!!
We rode on backroad highways in the beautiful Middle Tennessee countryside and ate a late lunch in a little town. We grew a little concerned because the beautiful blue sky with puffy white clouds was changing a bit in the distance headed our way and the weather forecast had called for scattered hailstorms and high winds in the afternoon.
Instead of continuing the direction we were headed we decided to loop back by our house then drive on backroads to the other side of Nashville to the Brentwood area to see some friends and eat dessert.
Like an idiot during the 30 minutes or so we were home I accidently left my key on with the lights on high. Apparently the battery is weak from just sporadic use over the winter and my bike wouldnt start. ARghhhh!!!!
Since you have to take the seat off to reach the battery it is a little more complicated than jumping a car and I didn't want to get where I was going and it not start once I wanted to leave ther.
As it was already about 5 pm I sent my son on alone for the rest of our big ride. I had to make a quick trip to Wal Mart to buy a trickle charger anad now I am hoping a slow charge will fix things.
I then mowed the back yard (had to use the headlights on the mower to finish in the dark - LOL).
Finally I watched the first part of American Idol until Dancing With The Stars came on and I switched over to watch it (will finish AI later)
My morning was crazy also!!!
