And, I don\u2019t think anybody can help me with this\u2026 I\u2019m faced with a decision this morning: One that could have important consequences whichever way I choose\u2026 It\u2019s a comfort thing, not some mechanical or health issue. But, being a good ol\u2019 boy from the nurturing bosom of dear ol\u2019 Dixie, it is an issue with which any southerner can readily identify. Procrastination does seem to offer some glimmer of a solution, however\u2026<\/p>\n
I\u2019m in Williston, ND, at the moment. It is 53*F outside, and this is not normally something I have to confront in August! I\u2019ve been looking forward to this problem, though, and it is one of the many reasons I\u2019m up here in the first place.<\/p>\n
Yes, I do consider myself a \u2018heat refugee\u2019. While I\u2019m not ready to pronounce myself successful with my latest quest just yet, I\u2019ve obviously found some evidence to indicate I\u2019m on the right tract. I\u2019ve already started the last two mornings off wearing both of my sweatshirts. Can the need for my Gerbings be far behind? I did bring them hoping they would soon be needed.<\/p>\n
This is not a daylong condition, I\u2019m afraid, so obvious solutions for the moment can produce new challenges for a few hours from now\u2026 Should I drag out my chaps today knowing I\u2019ll most likely have to re-pack them later on? I\u2019m already having to partially disrobe during my rides to shed layers as I go, as it is\u2026<\/p>\n
I hesitated to post this, because I know I\u2019m interfering with the more important political posting traffic, but like my zealous political missionary brothers and sisters, I too need to vent sometimes\u2026 This is on my mind\u2026<\/p>\n
See, when you wonder around on a motorcycle all over the place all of the time, there are many issues that continually crop up and cause puzzlement, even downright bewilderment sometimes. And y\u2019all thought I had an easy life!<\/p>\n
I\u2019m not in a huge hurry to make the call, but the clock is ticking\u2026 I mean, there is yet another collateral issue that will also require attention before long\u2026 breakfast. The offering at this motel is\u2026 well, it isn\u2019t much\u2026 I\u2019m not seriously picky, but at the risk of sounding snobbish, I just ain\u2019t gonna do none of that unappetizing looking stuff\u2026<\/p>\n
On the other hand, there ain\u2019t no grits hereabouts no-way, so haste won\u2019t offer a major pay-off\u2026 Still, they do a good job with bacon and eggs up here, and that does count for a lot. Troutdude called me yesterday, and he reminded me of another dietary virtue of this area\u2026 pie!<\/p>\n
Now, compounding all of this, there is this echo sound that comes from deep within me each time I swallow a sip of coffee\u2026 I\u2019m being forced into a corner here! I\u2019ll have to pull the trigger soon on the call about those chaps. Wish me luck\u2026<\/p>\n
Well, I\u2019m just going to sit here a spell longer and ponder on this some more\u2026 Procrastination can actually be a most useful management tool sometimes! If it warms up some, I\u2019ll tough it out another day\u2026 but, soon enough I\u2019ll be needing those chaps, and that will mark a significant milestone in my most recent trek\u2026 I just love my life!!!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
