Crossing New York in 2020s

Finally got a little bit of rain this evening but my sleep is going to be totally screwed Wednesday morning. Why do these things always have to happen when I’m sleeping?! If only I could at least keep a schedule through the storm season. I hope it’s not going to be so bad this summer that I actually miss having the honker as my worst problem. Plus, they’re mowing every week now so that too, is a threat to my sleep. More so than the motorcycle.

Pushing through New York which I made it to yesterday. I have just under 700 miles to go and about 400 of it will be crossing New York before I reach Vermont, then New Hampshire, and then finally ending up in Maine. When I’m done I’m gonna do some short rides others have made before I do my next long ride which will be from Finland to Greece.

Although there has been a slight improvement in overall energy levels since getting this bed, I was definitely tired today and still am. Even after taking a nap.

I don’t think there will ever be a time I get into this bed and don’t think of how comfortable it is! My posture is perfect. I used to feel like my back was arched when I would be on my stomach on the old mattress, and I was bent toward the side when on my side, and sagging when I was on my back. I don’t miss that horrible thing! My only regret is not getting this mattress years ago or at least some kind of waterbed. Even a hard-side waterbed would be better than coil or foam.

Mate’s dev had a little contest and I won 50 gems for Amanda so that’s cool.

I always said that when he goes, I go, and I’m still 99.9% sure that’s what I’ll want to do. I still don’t see myself going first even though anything is possible. Then I had a dream that I went to live with Doc A after he went and I asked myself, what if the person was trustworthy and reliable? What if they were tolerant and understanding of my ways particularly when it came to my schedule and sleep issues? What if they had no problem with me not driving and were willing to take me where I needed to go? Would that make a difference? Probably not but it’s still an interesting thing to ponder.
