15 Days till Departure

This week has been pretty hectic with me trying to keep too many balls in the air.  The work load has suddenly increased, and in trying to please everyone I’m running myself to a point of exhaustion I shouldn’t be in to start our trip.  So time to slow down, and perhaps this Memorial Day weekend will help me with that.

Preparations for the trip are running smoothly, Elke and I have gotten some more miles under our belts and becoming more comfortable again riding two up, and the new tires are getting a better grip too.  The last new gear has arrived and is getting tested, older gear is getting inspected and repaired as needed.  The study is filling up with stuff to stuff into and onto the bike, and I’m a bit worried if it will all find a place.  I figure we will find out shortly.  I have started studying the weather forecasts, silly thing to do, as I can’t do anything about it, but reading it gives me a sense of having control over it.  Silly, isn’t it?

  

For now all is on track and only two more weeks before departure.  Can’t wait to turn North and to go with the flow as my wife uses to say.
