Urban ride
by rider on Jan.26, 2009, under General
Had a sick server at the datacenter this morning, which required some personal attention to resuscitate. So, it was time to ride. 
Packed the laptop in the saddlebag, and started off on the roughly 25 mile trip into the semi-urban / industrial area where the colocation facility is located. I was debating bringing the bike or taking the cage (murphy’s law would tend to indicate that taking the bike would ensure that the machine was sick enough to require removal back to the homestead), but I decided to take the gamble and ride.
Took the surface streets down there (I-4 Westbound through Orlando proper during morning rush hour isn’t a place I want to ride or drive), and the interstate back home. Had a nice ride, and the server was kind enough to have a problem that was easy to fix in situ.
Riding in late January is great. Getting paid to do it - priceless.

This one made me laugh out loud! Especially the comment about getting paid to ride. I LOVE IT!
