bknsaddle Posted July 4, 2014 Share #1 Posted July 4, 2014 This morning in North Alabama was absolutely perfect for riding - 70 deg and not even a hint of humidity. Had my coffee and decided I didn't want to waste a minute of this beautiful day. Got dressed, and took my morning meds as I did a quick pass through the kitchen, on the way to the garage. Well, three miles from the house, as I was basking in the glory of being on two wheels on such a great day, it happened. I was stopped at a light, and it seemed like everything went into slow motion. I felt the bike leaning over to the left, slowly going down, and I had no way to stop it. It kind of layed itself down gently. Suddenly, I was standing there next to the bike in the middle of the road. A bystander ran over and helped me pick it up, I thanked him and off I went for about 4 hours of pure enjoyment. Now the odd thing is that after returning home I realized that I could not remember what route I took in the first few hours of the ride or why the hell I did not stop after the bike decided to take its nap. While I am getting the CRS syndrome, I have never drawn a blank like this..... Then, on a pass back through the kitchen, I noticed that the Fri. PM compartment on my weekly pill container was open. I stared at that little square compartment for several moments.....trying to tell myself that I did not take my evening meds this morning. It was clear that I had, in fact, done so, and as my evening meds contain sleep medication, I put myself and others on the road in significant jeopardy today. Attention to detail, attention to detail, attention to detail! I will be paying a lot more attention to detail when I take my meds from now on!

bongobobny Posted July 6, 2014 Share #8 Posted July 6, 2014 I have a system to avoid that, my AM meds are in the medicine cabinet in the bathroom, and my PM meds are on my night stand... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
