The best laid tires of mice and men, or TIRES!

Change of plans.
Instead of Emily and I riding the motorcycle out to Milwaukee and then flying back so I can drive the car. I will be leaving Hermes here in Connecticut for the next week, while we road trip west on four wheels.

So here Hermes will sit, in Madison. Complete with brand new tires, new rectifier and new brake reservoir. Just roaring to go. I'm disappointed to not be rolling into Big Top on the familiar ride of the motorcycle...but I suppose I do have a history of coming back to BTC on a different vehicle each year.

Gaelic Storm will be fun either way.

Look at me! I made a blog!

It's an awkward situation.

I've been dreaming of this trip for four years now. And almost the whole time, it has been a matter of "Don't think about it now, don't make preperations now, it'll just have to wait." Now all of a sudden. CRUMBS! I need to plan! I'm behind schedule!

It's time to finish upgrading the bike [Charging system is not happy right now. :-( ] It's time to get my spare parts and tools and luggage together. AND it's time to stop taking on as work so I have time to do my research and learns some passable Spanish.

This is real and it's time I get it in gear.

Vaccinations and medicine taken care of while I still had health coverage.

New Engine installed in Hermes. (compatable??)

New Tires on their way.

Now I must bid adieu to the East Coast and make my way back to the Midwest to be with family and commit to final preparations...oh and be in a couple weddings.
