FYI, Birdwatcher: https://www.wpc.ncep.noaa.gov/discussions/hpcdiscussions.php?disc=pmdspdShort Range Forecast Discussion NWS Weather Prediction Center College Park MD 256 AM EDT Wed Jul 10 2019 Valid 12Z Wed Jul 10 2019 - 12Z Fri Jul 12 2019 ...Looming tropical threat in the northern Gulf of Mexico... ...Threat of heavy rainfall will begin to ramp up along the central Gulf Coast... ...Severe thunderstorms possible in the Great Lakes & Southern Plains today and the Northeast on Thursday... An area of low pressure will move southwest from the Florida Panhandle before slowly strengthening over the warm waters of the northern Gulf of Mexico through Friday while turning more westward. The National Hurricane Center (NHC) is forecasting a high chance of this system developing into a tropical depression or tropical storm by Thursday. Please refer to Tropical Weather Outlooks from NHC for the latest on the status of the Gulf low. The low should begin delivering some heavy rainfall to the central Gulf Coast over the next couple days as it drifts slowly west just offshore the central Gulf coast. Outside of the system's circulation, record warm low temperatures are possible across portions of the Southeast and Gulf Coast within a hot and humid summertime air mass. Another low pressure system moving across the Great Lakes will produce thunderstorms with heavy rain over the Northern Great Lakes and Midwest today/Wednesday and the Northeast on Thursday and Friday. Severe weather is possible with the thunderstorms, with large hail and damaging winds are the primary hazards. Localized flash flooding will also be possible. Cooler weather is expected behind an associated cold front, with highs in the 70s to lower 80s over much of the northern Plains on Wednesday, western Great Lakes on Thursday, and interior portions of the Northeast on Friday. Increasingly hot temperatures are expected across the western United States with time as the jet stream retreats northward. On Thursday and Friday, high temperatures in the 90s will be commonplace, with 110s and perhaps a 120+ reading or two expected in the Desert Southwest. Roth/Lamers Graphics available at www.wpc.ncep.noaa.gov/basicwx/basicwx_ndfd.phpHey Tks, if I can make it to Cody WY (450 miles) in 10 days I still have the option of a 25 day 1,400 mile dash down the Plains clear to San Antonio fer braggin’ rights, otherwise I’m gonna have to circle back to Great Falls.

Trip 2, Day 1: 41 miles total. Didn’t roll out of Great Falls until nearly 3, which is what can happen when you’re visiting good friends ya ain’t seen in like 15 years. Had to get out tho to get started, been six days off the bike and I just used up all my wiggle room for this trip. Stiff headwind. Biggest problem tho was wanting to stop and take photos every 100 yards from Cascade on. Heck I lost an hour in Cascade alone. Following the Upper Missouri, friggin’ beautiful. And swift-moving, Lewis and Clark and Co achieved the incredible poling upstream through here. Rog and Leighton, you guys need to get up here to fish this place. Friendly people, ya can sit and talk all day, ‘cept they hate cyclists with good reason. Had my first carbon dump from a passing diesel pickup, ‘spect there’ll be more. I hate chicken$hit stunts. I flipped the guy the bird and through gestures I invited him to pull over. WTF would I do if he had? I gotta learn to ignore such provocations same as I would the weather, dip$hits gonna be dip$hits. Anyways the nice lady behind the bar who also herds cows on horseback when she ain’t bartending said she seen me on the highway and took me fer a Mexican  Helena is only like 40 miles from here, but between here and there lies prob’ly the steepest, longest climb of the whole trip, gonna be a beeatch.

What does the “ahem” mean? Literate, sober folks recognize it as how you write the sound of someone theatrically clearing their throat fer dramatic effect.

Slept at one of them four star rest areas God put there years ago so I would come across it just as darkness was closing in. Next one is 60 miles, that tough climb is gonna be about 20 through 30 miles from here. If I can get up that mountain pass, the next 30 miles is prob’ly a cinch

So you’re still a condescending prick? People always assume other people act from the same motives they would themselves. This is exactly why Sauron bought it in LOTR.

Heading out in the morning to points north and west. The bicycle is all prepped and loaded up. Now all I have to do is pedal it for 40 days and see where I get to. Hoping to make San Angelo(200 miles) in three or four days. Probably going to try for New Mexico first.
Five years ago I did 2000 miles to New York in 33 days, three years ago I did 1500 miles around Europe in 40 days. I have no idea how far I’ll get on this trip, it’s going to be hot and dry and I ain’t actually getting any younger.
At least the weather looks good at this point, highs only in the low 90s all week and the winds out of the south east which means I’ll have them at my back which is a big deal on a bicycle.Looking to make Fredericksburg or Luckenbach by tomorrow night.
Aint making any promises, I am only as good as my knees and back, but I’ll keep folks posted. Looking forward to the pictures, have a good trip.
These are my opinions, feel free to disagree.

What is a carbon dump?
Yeah you better be careful about shooting the bird. For starters, the person who offended you is a little bit screwy to begin with. Then, it might turn out that he has a gun, too.
Then, you will find out that "...this ain't Dodge City, and you ain't Bill Hickok."

At that particular moment in time, you just don’t GAF. No one lives forever.

If I’m driving a diesel and you’re on the shoulder on the highway I’m sending a cloud. And if you flip me off,you’re still the retread being a pedestrian on a fook’n highway.
