Day 37

I was out last night! I think I was more tired then I wanted to admit. When the alarm went off Jerry went for a shower and I rolled over for a snooze. I woke up hearing Jerry getting out of the bathroom. I sprung up to get dressed, I hate making others wait for…

Day 36

We woke up before the alarm, kind of surprising when we went to bed so late. We got Boston Pizza again! And watched The Goonies. It was pretty fun to watch such a childhood staple except with the knowledge that we are heading there. I have now played The Oregon Trail, Watched The Goonies, and…

Day 35

I slept real well last night, almost didn’t wake up at all. When the alarm went off Jerry headed for the shower and I stretched in bed for a minute. I showered and thought about about washing my clothes but worried about rain.  We left the room hoping the cafe attached to the gas station…

Day 34

I had lots of trouble sleeping last night. Just before bed I saw the maps on my website stopped working. Was it something I did? Something I didn’t do? I looked for a long time, I sent out help requests, I double checked what I did before… Finally it was too late to be up…

Day 33

Our motel was really a few attached apartments rented by the night, week, I’m sure they would have rented on by the year… if you wanted to stay in Chaplin for a year. It was nice to have two separate rooms, with separate TV’s. I flipped around the 15 channels for a minute before going…

Day 32

I had CRAZY realistic dreams last night. I mean to the point I thought, ‘is this a dream? I’d better get up.’. I stood up, looked around the dark room and as I turned I realized I was rolling over, because I was still asleep in bed!  Shortly after that a rolling thunder woke me…

Day 31

We both woke up before the alarm. I didn’t know Jerry had woken up as well so I laid there worrying I didn’t set the alarm. Finally I got up to take a pee, of course I spent the entire time in the bathroom terrified the alarm was going to go off. I laid down…

Day 30

We got back to the room early, with the time change and the city locations. My glasses and now cell phone case are drying their freshly repaired glue fixes. I had already scheduled the post for yesterday’s ride and figured out a few more things in WordPress. I tried my hand at ‘The Oregon Trail’….

Our dinner from last night was pretty good. It was an order at the counter and get a number to put on your table kind of place. They had pizza, burgers and fried everything, and of course breakfast for us on Day 29.  Dinner had two interesting things though, our order taker brought us our…

Day 28

We woke up and Jerry headed to the shower. I fell right back asleep. It was weird, I had gone to sleep not too late, the bed was nice, AC at a good temperature. I was listening to a binaural beat on my computer with wireless head phones and I was pretty sure I had…
