I wish I could ride!The weather has been just lousy for bicycle riding. On Tuesday, we were hit with a snow storm. Salem only received a couple of inches, but Portland had much more. So, I did not have to go to work on Tuesday or today (Wednesday). I got to say home and work on my web site and clean the house. As to the web site. I wanted to upload my weather data to The Weather Underground but the program that does this was not working. After reviewing the bug reports for Open2300, the software that I use, I determined that I needed to edit the source code and recompile. Once I did so, all was well. You can now view my weather data on my site, www.onyourleft.net/ws/, or at the Weather Underground. I only have less than one day's worth of data, but it is being updated every five minutes. With the snow, I have not been able to ride. I really should have taken the opportunity last Sunday, and now I really wish I had. But, I made it down to Gold's Gym tonight and had a good workout. The weather looks warmer for this weekend, but I will be down at the coast on a short get away mid-January vacation.
