Well, the first day of the trip has gone well. I put in a full day at the office and then got on the road, just missing the heavy part of Cleveland traffic and then hopping on the turnpike for the run to Mokena, IL.
Long trips always start with some amount of apprehension and this one is no different. I put all my things together last night and did not want to pack until this morning just incase I forgot something. Well, it looks like I have all I need and I even managed to leave with one less bag than I had on the last trip.
I had an incident-free ride today and I hope that is a harbinger for the rest of the trip. I have no photos today because mile after mile of soy beans and corn did not inspire me to pull out the camera!
I am kind of excited about the start in the morning because I came in under a waning but still rather full moon and it should be hanging in the western sky as I leave in the wee hours of the morning. I think it should be nice to start the day with the moon lighting my way before the birds announce the start of a new day.
Other than the hotel not having a room ready when I got here (they soon fixed that so that is cool) there is some bloomin’ idiot driving up and down a strip close to here revving the silly shot out of an un-muffled V-8 sumthin’-or-other. It sounds great and I am sure it is a fine automobile but it would be nice if he would confine his auditory performance to the portion of the clock when the sun chooses to show its face.
Grrrrrrr ......... one more run up the strip and I swear I am going to go out there and crack open a can of Kenyan Kung Fu on his sorry little ...... give the half-pint b@st*&% a generous portion of knuckle sandwich!
If tomorrow goes like today (with the exception of the *&$%# little sh#*% out there in his hot rod) I will be one happy traveler!
