Gas stop. 125.3 miles 2.878 gallons

The #r1100s burned a bit more oil than expected maybe because of all that stop and go traffic in the heat?

Yermo has pulled the sidestand up and is underway.

It was a really nice bbq at Tom’s. I picked Atticus up and took her to Tom’s. There was a nice symmetry to it as we originally met a year earlier. Atticus brought a huge amount of food so I emptied one of the saddle bags which meant I had to bring her back so I could get my stuff. The distance to Tom’s was much further than I thought, especially in traffic, so it made no sense to drop her off and then return to Tom’s, so here I am in a super sketchy dive Motel 6. 

Yermo is stopped.

Gas stop. The starbucks here were completely overrun. Moderate to heavy traffic so far.

I am definitely not as good at packing as I used to be. Taking a spare helmet takes up a lot of room.

Hot today but not oppressively so. Heading to get Atticus then up to Tom’s for a bbq.
