The mad-cap x-country drive is over! We arrived in the Seattle area this afternoon after 6 days on the road, including buying 4 new tires on day one, and a need to visit a local Vet in Ogden, UT. Let's just say that Bonnie Cat was not amused with the long drive, and at 17 I didn't think it smart to wait 2 more days. She's on antibiotics and doing better. And when she's happier, everyone is having a better day.
So I'm here, with no bike equiment whatsoever. The movers packed the garage and I couldn't rescue my shoes and helmet fast enought. I had to open the "hall closet" wardrobe box to get a raincoat. Shhh, don't tell them. At least they left a roll of packing tape in the house, so I could retape the box and they're none the wiser.
But I made it. I need a stiff drink.

Yay! Welcome!
