Forgot to get a dated business receipt (DBR) for my stop at the Washington State Capitol. So at 2100 I turned around and rode 100 mi South to get some chicken fries at Burger King, which included a DBR. I just rode the hundred miles back North and got to Sound Harley without killing myself. But it was a close call.
Will fill in the rest of this later. Got to sleep
-------------------
It's later.
I found two roads today without any construction on them! The only problem was that they were the two roads that needed construction more than ever. I stood up on the bike for about 36 miles. "Stood" meaning both feet planted fully on the boards, knees straight but not locked, and butt resting against the back rest. I can't quite stand up all the way for any length of time. Anyway, it was long enough for my knees to be killing me later.
After getting my capitol photo [and not getting my DBR, see above], I-5 was pretty normal for I-5. You know. Semis trying to squish you. Cars sliding in between you and the car that's a giant gap of 7 feet in front of you. All of them only moving out of the left lane when they have to exit. Normal.
But Seattle area mission accomplished.
Hope to see you on the road! Remember, NO WHINING! ✌️
