What Can Go Wrong Will Go Wrong! But Don't Give Up!

Today I headed out to goto the local Rail Trail to go for a nice bike ride.

On the way to the trail, while driving in my car, I saw a telephone post on fire at the top and pulled over to call 911.

I Stayed in my car, I am a smart guy you know.. LOL

I let the fire department know and while on the phone the thing exploded!

I could feel it through my car and in my chest..

Luckily my car and I were not hurt and when they arrived I continued on driving to the trail to start my bike ride.

Got on the trail and rode about a mile in and got a flat tire on my bike, walked the bike back to my car, pumped up the tire and said "Ok let's try this again"

I got 4 miles out this time and just as I started to turn around to head back, the arm that holds my pedal to the main gear came loose and was making it hard to pedal the bike.

I rode the bike back, stopping every 1/2 mile to hand tighten the screw holding the arm in place.

Long story short, the old me would have turned around after each one of these things happened, chalking it up to fate telling me not to continue on.

Instead I got a nice mile walk and nine miles on my bike today.. :)

Bottom line.. Don't give up and don't surrender..
