Taking A Break

I’m in Raleigh, NC now. I arrived last night, to a wet and sloppy welcome – hard rain for the last 25 miles or so. If it weren’t for operator error, I would’ve been dry head to toe except for hands (I need waterproof gloves). However, I failed to zip my jacket liner and pants together, so ended up with a nice wet ass by the time I arrived at my parents’ house.

I’ll be in NC for a week or ten days, visiting with family and friends and taking care of a few things I hope to tweak on the bike. I probably won’t be firing up the beacon unless I’m doing day trips outside Raleigh, so don’t expect too much activity there until sometime next week.

I’ll be spending a little time editing and posting a few photographs from the trip thus far. I haven’t shot much, though. I need to figure out a way to make the camera a little more easily accessible; right now getting to it involved getting off the bike, opening up a hard case and pulling camera out of a bag inside. Too many steps == not many photographs.

And I have a few topics I’ve been percolating on for here, so there will likely be some fresh content scattered about while I’m on my rest.

    Hey, just pinged you on FB, thought I’d follow up here. Are you gonna make it to Radford? We’d love to see you if it works out. (We’re dry up here for the moment.)
