Wednesday night the grand kids in Madison called and asked me to come down(125 miles trip) to go swimming in their pool.
So I got up yesterday to 90 degree sunny weather and decided to go.
I called them and said I was on my way.
I left Kiel at 90+ and made one stop in Beaver Dam for a Gatoraid.
When I rounded Madison, it was 106.
Well, I got to the house and they were in the pool already.
A 25 by 50 foot pool with a deep well of 10 feet and the water temp was 94 degrees!!
Ready to jump in to pool when I got a phone call.
Because my wife works a 3rd shift job at Sargento Cheese, she didn't think or know that I took the Trike.
Asked if I was crazy for taking the trike and I told her we have driven in 100 degree weather many times.
Told her I had to go swimming and would call her when I was leaving.
After 3 hurs of swimming and horsing around with the kids, I had enough.
Shower,got dressed, said my good byes, thank you's and hit the rode.
Got on thefreeway and hit the temp reading WOW 111 degrees.
Rode to BD again and stopped at McD's for 2 bottles of water.
Drank 1 1/2 and down the road.
Made one stop at FDL for the other half bottle of water and made it home.
Had a safe and fun day.
One thing that freaked me out was that on the way home I saw 3 places in the road where the concrete exploded.
Also went over 1 cracked that had some chunks but missed them.
