MCGTTX Day 9

Since Matt and Katie had to work this morning, I was up at 0430 to finish packing my laundry and getting ready to roll. I left them about 0545 with big hugs until I'm back in Texas.

As soon as I got on the highway at 0600, I was battling traffic: truckers not looking before changing lanes or if they look not caring if anyone is there, people going 10 mph under the speed limit in the left lane texting or holding their phone to their ear, and just the normal too many cars in too few lanes all going the same direction at the same time with the one asshole that keeps changing lanes trying to get ahead of everyone and just fucking everything up worse.

This was my entire day. I got to Corpus Christi at 2030 after spending most of the day on and around I-35. Nightmare. So I ate at Whataburger and am now camped at the Harley dealership down the street. I'm exhausted but I don't know how much rest I'll be able to get because the humidity is about 99%, everything is wet including my phone screen as I type this, and there is no breeze. I'm doomed.

Not a great day, by I did meet another rider at a stop and a very nice couple chatted with me at another one. Also not a great day because, although the weather was clear, it was only 45°F when I left Fort Worth 🥶 and over 90°F when I finally had to change boots under a tree while drinking Gatorade 🥵. And now I'm just lying here sticking to my cot 😰. Ugh
