Okay, so my girlz Lilia & Jett called me out about my over-estimation of the gas costs but at least it's better to be safe than sorry. Hell, who knows how much more higher the gas prices will go while we're on our trip.
I'm somewhat in panic mode because I really haven't packed (well, only halfway). I'm afraid to pack too much because of the weight and I'm not used to having extra baggage on my bike besides my big ass. I'm only taking 2 extra prs of jeans, a few shirts, some t-shirts, board shorts, etc. I plan on washing my clothes anyway, so I don't need to take 15 days worth of clothes. I'm also not going to a fashion show, so it's jeans and t-shirts for me! :)
I accidentally drilled out the wrong rubber mount under one of my saddlebags and now, I need to head over to Home Depot to get a couple of screws/nuts to secure it back in. You would think of all the nuts & bolts I have, not a one is the size I need.
Met with Anita yesterday and dropped off the 10 cases of bottled water (thanks to my brother, who works for Pureflo) and biker buddies and my infamous cowboy hat, that is a must for the trip. :)
Afterwards, headed over to Boot World, where I must say, they don't have much of a selection. Didn't find any western boots that I liked for my trip and now, I will have to leave my bullet boot straps home. Why? Because the effing mofo on Ebay, purposely sent me the wrong size boots. Then, I paid extra to return them (UPS verified delivery on 6/4/08) and he has ignored every one of my emails since. Now, I have a claim against him on Ebay/PayPal. I don't have time to deal with his ass right now but when I return, he'll wished he didn't eff with me and my money.
Went to Cycle Gear and wished I wrote down what I needed but silly me. Picked up a ride bell for Colleen because on Saturday when I was installing her engine guard, I noticed her bell was gone. Also, picked up a clear face shield for my full-face helmet and dang it! I forgot to get a cargo net to strap the dang thing down on my bike.
My co-workers gave me grief for cutting my hair short but hell, I don't want to deal with my hair on the trip. It will grow out people!!! I kinda like it myself.
Need to give Angel a bath, put the Advantage on and do a good cleaning on her ears. Had to take her to the vet on Monday because she was in so much pain with her ears. Poor baby. Dropping her off at my mom's on Thursday. I'm gonna miss her irritating little butt. Okay, she ain't little...at all!!
Already laid down the ground rules with my roomies. Some say that it's a bit much to even lay down rules. But listen, after riding hundreds of miles in the heat and whatever other elements we may run into, I don't need anything irritating me when I'm trying to relax. So, I stated absolutely no phone walkie-talkie conversations in the room while I'm there because I don't want to hear your conversation!; sleep with the tv on, not a problem but keep the lights off; I snore...wear your earplugs!; I'll be wearing mine too since they both snore, as I was told; I SLEEP ALONE!!! See, not that bad of a list. Oh wait, Biby threatened me by saying she was going to wear a thong. LOL!!!
I'm trying to tie up loose ends here at work because I just know that it's going to be a mess when I get back. My co-workers aren't too happy that they have to take on extra loads of work in my absence. Don't cry to me people, I did that shit and your job before you ever came here!
Saturday can't come soon enough. I'm so needing this trip for so many reasons. I need to get back on track with my life. This trip is just what the doctor ordered.
