I've been using my truck for the last few days a lot. I'm sort of torn, for some of my trips the truck will do better, but for the grand tour I'll probably use the car. I'm looking into a few repairs on the truck and the addition of a proper hitch and camper shell. It will probably be where I live this winter. I may find a cheap trailer to tow behind it. As for the car, it will do well on the grand tour, with a little refinement of the camping gear, tent camping will be the norm. I'll probably carry only one bike. I'll use the bike (if the knee still works) for those short errands and for sightseeing. It is a great way to see things at a slower pace and it allows you to stop and take pictures easily. More as this new life develops.
Today was a day for a trip to Orange County. Dropped by my old workplace to hear the horror stories about pensions and budget cuts. Had a good time talking with my old co-workers. Then a quick stop to check a po box I pay for, then a ride, slowly down the coast, Corona del Mar, Laguna Beach, Dana Point, San Clemente, then back to the freeway for quick trip south, for a northward drive towards home. I've been taking pictures so there will be some later. Not the prettiest day, but I needed a recharge after thie last few days.

Was thinking, and I do have to sell some bikes, maybe as many as five bikes. I may even give a few away. Tomorrow I'll work on my discovery process, and start boxing some stuff for storage.

I am thinking of a trip, sort of a couch surfing tour of the United States, with the destination of Maine and then return. I will be traveling cheap, very cheap with gas prices what they are. Still just a thought... Any couches out there for me to spend the night?

Sitting in Starbucks in Carlsbad right now, need to start home soon.
