Milestones, weather...
Nov. 9th, 2004 11:38 amRolled over 2000 miles on the bike this past Friday. Woohoo! Time to put on the studded tires and shoot for 3000 for the 12 months since I started.
The weather reports are certainly based around "in town" when it starts getting cold. Last night they were saying lows in the 30's to high 20's. It was 17.2*F when I got up this morning.
Unfortunately I couldn't ride as I had committed to driving the minivan to run a bunch of errands and take the telescope to work for the Jupiter occultation this morning.
Of course the occultation was totally clouded out. A few sucker holes 10 minutes early through which we could see the moon, then a solid H20 blanket when it counted. It's currently 10 minutes to the exit event, and it's looking the same. Bleh.
Oh well, can't complain really, we had clear skies for the last 3 major events, which in itself is a miracle in Michigan.
