In Florida

This evenings Moon over the Ocean

Well I left Ottawa early Wednesday morning (2:00am) and enjoyed a full moon lite drive until the sun rose to an overcast sky in Pennsylvania. Shortly after that it began to rain on  and off for a great number of miles.
I was feeling very good, drinking lots of water and eating the occasional egg salad sandwich. My decision by late in the day was if it was raining I would pull off the road for the night.arrive top for the night, if no rain I would think about driving straight through.
The rain stopped and I stopped for gas, 400 miles left to drive and it was still light outside. I decided to press onward. As darkness set in the almost full moon started to rise, I still felt good so decided to press onward.
I had not seen a cop for the entire trip but the state of Georgia in the dark proved to be a different story , red and blue lights all over the place, the boy's were active. Of no consequence to me I pressed onward and pulled off the  the 95 at Flagler Beach, 10  miles to home.   I pulled over at the 24 hour gas station and picked up a case of beer. The condo was ready, I pulled in and parked the car and trailer in the middle of the garage and headed upstairs, it was great to arrive after 21 hours in the car.
I downed a couple of beers looking over the ocean and hit the bed. I slept for about 6 hours and was up and about, washing the car, bike and trailer.
Off to pick up a couple of hundred dollars worth of starter supplies, it was all good.
Now late afternoon I headed off to visit friends, nice visit but I ended it quickly, I was crashing, home to bed.
I slept 12 straight hours and arose felling good.
Biketoberfest is on so I headed out. I guess I have seen a lot of this and felt kind of not to excited.
Back to the condo, nice dinner on the balcony, sat there up until now, I have not even plugged in the TV yet.
Shot a few moon pictures, Man it is nice.
Soon off to bed.
More to come!!!!
