Healing

Okay, so the gang took their day off a day early. This helped me as I was unsure about taking another day off or not for my bell ringing incident. As of yesterday evening I was still not 100% myself. I have felt this feeling before(just last year) from a dirt bike wreck. Things like, I just put that spoon down...where the heck did I put it? Was happening more than the usual old fart stuff. Also, I couldn't find the word I wanted to use in conversation...that kind of stuff. So I was contemplating another day off.

Being as today was my birthday and we were kind of in a cool place kind of made it easy for everyone to call this their day off and the official day off was only another day away and that place looks to be near the hwy and railroad. We have had a lot of that. It's quiet here in that respect. Every once in a while the dogs go after an armadillo and make some racket though. They are as common as opossums here.

So, I slept much better last night, (a sign of healing) and things were 98% normal today. The 2% is just some major soreness and of course the road rashes. The day off did me good. Thanks to the gang for the surprise birthday thing this morning and for moving their day off, and for dinner and gifts and making this a special on the road birthday!

Tomorrow will be back to normal as we hit the road in the morning. We are nearing the Gulf and I am very much looking forward to that! Only 14 days of riding left!
