Getting anxious

3 more days until I can see what kind of weather I can roughly expect at the start of the trip, I’m doing some final prep stuff on the bike this week: oil change, tune up, a general health check of the bike and hard wiring the GPS power supply. 

I’m also starting one of the over-the-counter acid reflux programs because I figured out on the trip to New Orleans 2 years ago that I get it pretty bad a week into the ride after riding 10+ hours a day.  We I was in New Orleans I thought I was having a heart attack because of the reflux, I went to the ER and they gave me Maalox and I was right as rain.

On second thought, I’m not sure “right as rain” is a good saying when getting ready to start a long motorcycle voyage.
