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.<\/p>\n
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.<\/p>\n
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.<\/p>\n
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.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
