Feb 16 - a warm one

Wonderful !  70+ and a SE wind. 

Not so wonderful - USFWS controlled burn on Merritt Island.

I went through the Road Closed cones and then talked to a fellow in a truck who said that I could get through as long as I didn't mind a little smoke.  Later another truck with flashing lights came and said that the first fellow didn't know what he was talking about but she consented to give me a ride so I got into the back of the truck with my bike and we went for a 2-mile ride past the burn.  It really wasn't all that bad but I guess that they wanted to be careful. 

It was a struggle going south, with a 25mph headwind, but a blast going back.  That's exactly the kind of day that I love.  Payback time !

Sandy spent her day in the garden, opting to do that rather than going into Orlando / Costco.  Good choice. 

Onward !
