My Favorite Intersection in Missouri

I did not get good sleep last night, but it was not because of the memory foam bed or the air conditioning or the patter of rain on my windows all night. I couldn't shut my brain off until almost 0100. Once I did get to sleep, my ribs kept waking me up.

This is the last time I'm going to talk about my ribs because this is stupid. My fall off the ramp with the bike happened over a week ago and the pain has not subsided at all. It hurts to breathe, it hurts to do anything that engages my core, like sit, stand, rollover, lift the bike off the kickstand, get off the bike, get on the bike.... I think you get the picture. Anyway, I'll give it until I show up for the Route 66 HOG touring rally. If the pain hasn't gone away or subsided significantly, then I'll go to urgent care.

At 0630 I gave up, I got up, and I rolled out by 0700. When I went down to the bike, I discovered that a very friendly Kitty who might be pregnant spent the night on my wild ass seat cushion 🤣. She was dry and my cushion was covered in fur 🤣. Not a problem though, because it still holds air, so she's either declawed or there was no bread kneading 🤣.

It was slow going because of all the wet roads covered with gravel and tree debris Plus there were a lot of deer on the twisty roads. I finally got away from the river, got the photos I needed, and have made camp at Outlaw Harley-Davidson underneath an awning. There is literally an America's best hotel right there, but after last night's hotel bill, I need to tent it tonight. And it should be clear, no storms, so easy 🤞.

Oh yeah, the highlight of the day was finding my new favorite intersection: where F meets U! 🤣🤣🤣

Hope to see you on the road! Remember, NO WHINING! ✌️
