Decided to take a rest day and get some random things done. Ran down to bulk barn and got carried away spending $30 on 4.5 pounds of nuts, dried berries, and m&m's to make a sort of chaos mix. Doug has some nice digital scales and I weighed myself for the first time since Summerland, BC to find I was now 137 lbs. When I started this tour I was 150 lbs! If I can ride for just one more year I should change from a solid to a gas!
I also picked up a pen and notebook and from here on out will be writing my daily journals in that rather then the arduous task of swyping them into my phone and dealing with its insane and sometimes hilarious word prediction (whole grain dumpster bread?!). I'll try to update this blog as the cell service allows me.
I looked into getting another kobo but the hassle of downloading books back onto it topped with the likely chance it'll break made me stick with paperback. The extra weight kinda sucks but I can always ditch the books I've read once the time comes, tho I'd much rather get the old battered things back to sit on a book shelf back home. I've picked up the first book in the Dark Tower series by Stephen King.
It did occur to me how funny it is that I've gone from eBook and phone blogging to paperback and pen/paper. Seems I'm going backwards technologically. Anyhow, I'll be heading out tomorrow once due east towards Blind River, ON. Happy cycling!
