Launch day, for one of us

So it's launch day, after a couple final packing things and looking stuff over in general. Hugs and kisses with my wife, and down the road I went. I still don't think it's set in yet just exactly what is happening. Was just shy of 500 miles of helmet time, burning up the interstate, and being sufficiently cooked myself by the temperatures in the 90s. 

I arrived at our friends Tom and Karen's house outside of Louisville Kentucky, before they did. Thankfully they were trusting enough to give me the combination to their house door and even their address to where it is after that. So now I'm showered and relaxing, waiting for their arrival to get the tour around their home and catch up with life in general. 

Sorry, I don't have any pictures of anything interesting, no funny stories or anything like that, just a day of miles with many different thoughts rattling around my head. 

Tomorrow I expect quite a bit of the same, as I have 600 miles to cover to my friend's house in Arkansas. Maybe the pieces will start to fall in place in my brain and some stories will come of it. Bear with us, it will get more interesting as this goes on, just got to get back into my traveling mindset again, and I'm guessing it won't take long.
