Subject: | Did you RIDE YOUR HUMMER TODAY ??? | Date: | Thu Jul 16 22:15:05 2015 |
I rode my Hummer today. Did you? This winter lasted forever - cold and damp. Then summer came - hot and humid, and then it rained every day for weeks, Now it's mid-July, and FINALLY we've had some beautiful Spring days here in Virginia. Today was gorgeous - blue skies, sunny and fair. I took my 1955 Hummer on a 30 mile ride. It took 2 and 1/2 hours to go 30 miles, since I took roads ranging from 5 mph to 55 mph. I stopped at some railroad tracks, and walked the ties for 10 minutes, explored an abandoned cistern, and then walked ten minutes back. I drove up some gravel roads that went nowhere, turned around, and returned back to somewhere. I barrelled down a 55 mph road flat-out at (well maybe) 45 mph, but there was no one else on the road. I cow-trailed at 5 mph up some, well, cow trails. I rode on about every kind of road in-between. And had a total blast the entire day. I hope you will do so too - tomorrow. Wake up - that's today.
