Day 63 - I'm Back

Day 63 – Saturday: August 17, 2013, miles ridden today: 45.0

This is the End - 14,464 Miles

I left Winnie’s early so that she and Liz can go on her quest for the remodeling materials. It’s so hard to pick tile, and complimentary materials. Me, every three months I awake before dawn, join a restless crowd at an old tool parking lot sale in Culver City. Although Donuts and Coffee, an old tool swap meet tradition provided by the Anderson Plywood Staff, is served, it wasn’t enough to entice me to arise before dawn. I did drive by later just to see what was left, and I did leave empty handed.

Arriving home, I let the neighbors know I'm back, collected my mail, visited with my neighbor Roman F. who just last nigh came home from the hospital. He’s quit sick now with another bout of Cancer.

I unpacked the motorcycle, did the laundry, arranged everything on the living room floor as it all was packed on the bike so that I can reassess what I took, what I used, and what isn’t necessary, so as to improve my next adventure. At the onset of the trip I told Winnie I would take a walk often to exercise; the evidence of my promise is one pair of worn out sneakers:

I haven't worn out a pair of sneakers since I was a kid!
These will get trashed, and next time I'll take something more compact...

Left message for Tom & Liz so that I may go retrieve Ringo whom they have been spoiling during my absence. Thank you guys!

Ringo - African Ring Neck Dove
I miss the Old Guy (they live 25 years)

Hopefully in the next week or so I can put together a summary of this adventure, Lessons Learnt to apply to future travels. It will be my last GNA’13 Blog. So, stay tuned.

It was a great trip Folks, thanks for following along.
