To further validate how nutty last Tuesday was, I saw some funnel cloud formations that day (but no touchdown tornadoes) in San Benito and Merced counties.  Hail too.

I rode up and around Mt Tam this morning, and the roads were niiiiiiiice  ;D

Caltrans trucks were out in full force yesterday clearing the peninsula roads, far better today here as well. [thumbsup]

I've found that the winds are harsher on my fully-faired bike than on the Monster. But it's still disconcerting to go sailing on land...I find myself singing that Styx song, Cartman-style, inside my helmet ;D

I just realized that when the Weather Channel announces a "small craft warning" they are talking about US!   [laugh]

We've had this blow for a while now.  And I'm hearing something about rain coming in over the weekend.  I'm displeased with this imperfect weather.

Ah, but perfect weather for gear-shopping. I need new gloves anyway--going to Scuderia on Friday.

egh-hemmm. Speaking of gear, that would be what's-her-name from Dainese moving down here from Portland of all places bring this crap weather.
You need to have a talk with her and set some shit straight about what to bring and what not.  [cheeky]
