Day 124. August 26. Sunday on my brother’s farm in Ohio

Boy did I sleep good last night.  I did go to bed at 7 and soon fell asleep.  Best night’s sleep I’ve had in months.  Slept clear through til 4:30.  More than 4-5 hours sleep in one night is good for me so this is highly unusual.  I think the body needs some rest.

Did laundry and reorganized a few things for the next trip. Have to rethink clothes since I’ll be riding in high elevation in Oct.

I had to call Verizon to cancel my international phone plan and I called six times before I ever got to a real person.  I was not a happy camper but the job is done, I hope.

My nephew and his family came for a  picnic lunch and we had a great time.  Showed them my maps of where I’d been.  My brother just shakes his head and says he doesn’t understand how I can do what I do.  (He is four years younger than me).  I say to him I don’t know how he does what he does. (He is a farmer and works really hard in 90 degree heat and super high humidity.  I would melt into a puddle.)  So we are all different.  But he and his son support me and that is important . The rest of my family think I”m nuts.  Their problem.

So tomorrow I’ll be working in this heat and hope like heck I don’t melt into a puddle.  Til then.
