As Motorcycle week roars to a close, I reflect on the past 10 days.
There were folks I had been expecting to come, but I did not see them this go-round. Did they just get too old to travel? Or decide it wasn't worth what the hotels charge? Or maybe they came on a day I wasn't working. Either way, there seemed to be a mix of older and younger folks this year, and aside from the CO catching a couple of them skinny dipping (come on guys, there's children present!) things went pretty smoothly. As I write, the booths and whatnot set up on the corners by the park are being slowly dismantled; it's as if they're not looking forward to moving on. But move on we must; bye-bye! See you next year. The weather has also been a bit strange. Usually by this time of year everything is brown because it is hot, and not much rain. But today it's been only in the mid-70s and cloudy. We've had so much rain that everything in the canyon is green and still growing. It's growing almost faster than I can cut it back! I can't complain too much however, as it keeps the chances for wildfires down. I can stand mowing a little more often.
My co-worker's last day is tomorrow; we'll see how my schedule will go. Will my own schedule change, or will they just have someone check in on the days I am not there? Only time will tell.

As of this date... time is ticking and we're down to 9 days. 9 days til I head east, and then north. This week will probably be spent lying low, only going to Spearfish for a couple things. Monday I get the car checked out, to make sure I can get where I need to go, and back again. There was that bottle of mead I promised to bring; I should probably go grab that tomorrow so that I may pack it.
I have officially entered the category of "sell out". Well, I was selling stuff before, through Cafepress. But CP turned into a ripoff, taking your earnings if you made under a certain amount, for "maintenance fees" I thought this totally stupid and unreasonable since technically, they aren't even holding on to stock, it's basically a drop-ship operation. So I closed that account and now I am on Zazzle. It isn't the best looking site; I plan on revamping the images and whatnot soon. Someone actually bought one of my button designs, and I got myself a tee shirt from a design I made. I'm always wondering if people have had a big bowl of stupid for breakfast; now I can say it on a shirt. Note that I'm not the only one to think this, apparently. So I made mine look like a retro design. This, too, may be revamped at some point. We'll see if anyone buys it. At any rate, there's a lot going on here in Badhairland. Stay tuned!
Aye,
