Decisions...Decisions...

Lets begin on Friday nite, My son Conner got a phone call from his patrol leader saying they needed another volinteer. So they could do the outing tomorrow. He asked me and I said yes. So the next morning we got up and met the boys at the church. Then drove in 1 car to Marshville,NC. Where we helped The Habitat Humane Society work on a house. Today there goal was to put in landscaping. Not just us. There was lots of help with one person deligating. He kept everyone buzy. This is one of those times I was glad I did this. It was very rewarding, definatly will do again. The boys did awesome. Lets fastward to late in the day,I was trying to get a bike ride in. I see a opportunity, so I jump on my bike,my neighbor says storms are coming becareful. I look up and see nothing. I decide to do this 20 mile loop. Well 8mi. in I could see clouds coming and moving fast. I was heading east and the clouds were coming over my sholder. Only problem was I had to go west to get back. So, I made 2 quick right turns. What a difference. Now I was headed into the storm.The wind was really kicking up. Glad I had 2 hands on the bike. A pick up truck passed me then about 50 ft. in front of me stopped and asked me if I needed a lift. At that point no rain. But something told me to take it. So I did. 1 minute later it was pouring rain out with the wind still gusting. His name was Josh a Waxhaw Police officer going to work. As we were going to my house we saw a big tree down on the road. It was started look dangeress out there. I'm glad I swallowed my pride and took the ride. He dropped me off and I said a big thank you, I only got in a 9.75mi. ride in...300mi/24hrs..Yes..Yes
