Mold - YUCK

So I was packing up all my stuff for my trip tomorrow, and I thought I'd make sure I've got everything I want in my saddle bags before I go. Its a good thing I did. I did not realized when I put every thing in my bag that my gloves were wet. Or if they weren't when they went in, they got wet while they were in there. To make a long story short, my electric gloves and vest were covered in mold. YUCK. I HATE MOLD. So to say "yuck" is being polite when it comes to mold. I did spray them down really well with lycol cleaning solution and washed them really well. They are now hanging to dry. I hope the electrical componants didn't get damaged. I'll be very upset if they are recked. Hopefully they will be dry for me to pack them for the trip tomorrow, but I highly doubt it. I think I'll be going without my heated gear this trip.

So my mom and I are getting ready to head south tomorrow. One last road trip before we have to put the bikes away. :( So we had to do some shopping. My rain pants needed to be replaced desperately and I needed a decent pair of rain gloves as well. So that was pretty much my day. My mom was supposed to take her road test today, but that didn't happen. (and that's another story in and of itself). So she wanted to go for a ride. Its been raining all day, but my mom convinced me that I needed to try out my new gear. We didn't go very far, just around the outskirts of town. (long enough to get everything wet) But every thing seems to work well. My pants and hands stayed dry and warm enough anyway. So we're off tomorrow. I'll keep journalling on paper and post it when I get back.
