There is one thing I am going to install before I set off, and that is a throttle lock. Otherwise my throttle hand will be cramped to hell after a day of hard riding. I will have my gps set up too, it attaches to the bars. I'm considering satelitte radio but will probably go Ipod.

Then your body is "painted" with sea kelp and aloa vera. You sit in the first room of the warm cave to dry. The next cave ...

... about the latter. Anyhow, I'm super excited about the trip and experiencing life on another wavelength. I'll be on a plane in 25 hours! Hopefully I come back a learned man and better citizen of the world. For the volley guys: I'll miss you guys - get crazy in the gym this quarter and don't do anything I wouldn't do. For the guys at KA: play a game of Quarters for me and make sure to get Wahl lots of times in a row. I'll miss you guys this fall. Talk to you in Chile, Josh

Ethan the newest addition to the family was beautiful and so small. I quickly settled into a domestic life in the burbs and it was great I couldn't have asked for a better change of pace.

We ended the day with some drinks in Hooters whislt watching karaoke, which was of a surprisingly high standard!
