HHH 2012 Edition

A 5AM forecast of 80% rain from 7 to 11 and a check of the radar of a huge green and red swath headed towards Wichita Falls had me err on the side of caution and back to bed after BFF picked up McD breakfast.    A couple more hours of sleep and some daylight showed partly sunny skies and an open day on my schedule... so a quick check of the map to see what kind of yarn shops might be in Oklahoma City.    Consulted with BFF who was game for a road trip so long as in OKC we could find a Starbucks for her to study at whilst I visited shops and a stop at a casino on the way back to Texas... sold. So, off we headed to OKC and the weather on the drive up was fairly good.     We had a lovely lunch at Olive Garden and then found a Starbucks to make BFF's home base for a few hours of study time.   I went to Carol's Knitting Studio first.. it was way off the beaten track; relatively small; and I don't think their stock moves very quickly (old and faded tags)...

Left out in the dark with the early 100 milers to beat the heat.  Made the 25mile turnoff around 7...hit Shepherd AFB by 8 and back to the car by 8:30. Was any easy Zone 3 cruise and a beautiful sunrise ride.
