One month...one month from today I will be handing back my apartment keys and heading out on the road.  Seems like just yesterday I started this planning and everything was off in the future, something to look forward to and prepare for, anticipate. Now I have this feeling that there is so much to do before I go.  Say goodbye to friends, pack up, change address, etc etc.  Had a little panic moment, but when I really thought about it I realized I am ready.  I could jump on the bike today and head out.  That's how ready I am.  Apart from my new rubber, above, the bike is ready to roll.  Packing will take a day or two and the rest a day here and there.  I'm ready.  Look out 'merica, here I come...
