Perfect timing

On Sunday, I realized that I finally, finally, finally had time to wash my riding suit. Finally. It's been far too long. So gross.

But I digress. So Sunday was spent washing, and washing, and washing... and drying, and spraying. Then I had to wait four hours for the first coat of ScotchGard to dry, but it was already 10 pm. No way I could afford to stay up until 2, so I determined to work from home on Monday.

That plan went off without a hitch, and I got the suit all prepped on Monday. I'd thought I was going to have to run an errand at lunch time via motorcycle, but Jesse showed up with his old, crusty XS650 that he'd sold to someone in Alaska -- he wanted my help getting it to the shipper. Perfect! We threw my rental return in the truck and headed out.

This morning, I awoke to the "sssssSSSSSsshhh!" sound of cars driving by on a thoroughly soaked road. I just looked out the window, and sure enough, it's pissing rain out there.

Good thing that riding suit is all clean and freshly waterproofed. Hooray for serendipity!
