59 days to the Ride

Got a notification that the patches are available for me to pick up at the Post Office. I'm anxious to see them and wished they could have just been left in my mailbox; but since they are insured and require a signature I will have to go pick them up tomorrow. I'll post a photo when I get them.
Also, as it relates to items, I've asked a graphic designer friend of mine to take one more shot at enhancing the map that will grace the back of the t-shirt. I should have that this week and will finalize the t-shirt order. Since this is going to be a "once in a lifetime" journey for me I wanted the shirts to be as nice as we can make them so this little extra work, will, I hope, be worth it.
My boss (owner of my company) was asking me about the trip today and has given me full permission to take the time off. Everything is falling into place and I'm really getting excited about the next few months. Next week I go for another "electric roto-rooter" in my throat but I'm convinced that there will be no negative news so I've put that completely out of my mind; except to remember to actually show up for it.
A friend is coming over today to help me install my rider backrest so, with luck, that piece of work will be done today and I can give it a good test tomorrow. It's raining again today so no riding.
Lot's more to do but it's all coming together.
Ralph; we need to talk about accomodations in the Seattle area. I'll try calling you on Saturday. OK?

  1. Fred, I'm up to my eye balls with stuff on Saturday unless you want to call around 1900 hrs or later.

  2. It can wait; maybe next week. I'm waiting on some advice from Don Gentry about where to stay when we get out there.
