Left out the house Saturday morning about 9 with a buddy and his cousin, told the wife "I'm going for a ride be back in a little bit" Didn't get back home till about 3:30. Ooops.. Good ride though.
I always tell the wife, "I'm going for a ride. I don't know when I'll get back". That pretty much covers me.
I will send her a text and say "be home in about and hour" when I know I'm heading my way home.
That's seems to work better than just showing up. lol
There are just those times the mind decides to put it all on hold and the miles just fall away. Been there, done that and probably will again around June.
Tuesday decided to take the bike for the 1 hr one way trip to pick some parts up for some railings I am building.
Took 2 hrs to get there, and 3 to get back. Probably would have been more then 3 if it wasn't for the rain clouds moving in fast that I had too raced home.
Within 3-4 minutes we had heavy rains and a 1/2" hail storm. Watched it all from inside my shop. When I pulled in my buddy was there washing his bike and I had 5 missed calls from him and my wife giving me a heads up on the storm. Was driving too fast too check my phone when it was vibrating.
Picked up my "new" 2011 Road Glide Ultra. The following weekend I was out for a 90 mile round trip to do a bike blessing. 450 miles later I pull into the driveway.. Yeah, wife says "didn't know you were going to be gone all day".. No huggie, no kissie... Every time I get on it seems like a time machine; ends up being hours and I get home to I don't know what happened - really. Wife says this afternoon "do you think we can get a day in next weekend?" Huh?
Ya it is an old thread , but this happens to me all the time. I live about 4 miles from work and have burned through an entire tank of gas getting home.
