Well…running about on time again today with getting up at around 5am and it’s nothing worth noting…still having a hard time getting started and it will be a struggle to get on the bike by 6am along with doing the weight work…I did figure out the timer for the lamp yesterday so it will appear like someone is here…and that is a little iffy since they won’t see me here at all and I’m always moving around…get to use the light on the bike today and I am a little geeked about that…I did have the chain jam on the front sprocket a couple of days ago and I’m not sure how that happened…overshifting that pushed the chain over the big sprocket and between the sprocket and the guard…but it rode okay yesterday so I think it’s fixed with no damage…I do have everything ready to be packed and I am going to try to put everything in the suitcase today to see if I have to make decisions on what to leave out…taking a light fleece and a jacket since it’s supposed to be cool in Venice which is the first place we’re going…can’t wait to see it and be a tourist…have to charge up the battery box to put in the trunk along with the tire patching kit I bought just in case…it is a little strange to be able to sit the car for weeks and have it start but I’m not taking any chances…so, I need to get my butt moving to get the rides in before I go to the library for trip books…more later…
