I woke up this morning at 6:00 on the dot practically. I fetched my phone, which was on thw other side of the building, and went back to my gear. I was still really tired, so I packed up most of it and then laid back down for a nap.

Somewhere around 7:00 – 7:30 some lawn matenance people showed up, but I think they were sketched out by me so they kept their distance. I layed there for a bit more, probably until about 8ish, and then got up and started making breakfast and such. A lady came out and kind of politely asked me to leave because there was Vacation Bible School starting at 9, and I don’t think she wanted some smelly stranger sleeping feet away from where all those kids would be, understandably.

Now I’m just on the edge of the parking lot and every other car that comes in is either a Mercedes, Volvo, or Sabb, so I think I’m in a pretty nice area.

Time to start riding. I’m aiming for about 70 miles today.

Ohh and only because its on my mind: All natural peanur butter is tastier on sandwiches, but harder to eat in roll-ups. I had to drink a quart of water to help move it down (which was probably a good thing).

I was a little shy on my goal for the day, but I still feel pretty satisfied. I got a late start but was able to start the day feeling rested and that call about a job interview kind of fouled me up as well. The thunder storm also held me up for close to an hour, and then I stopped a little early. Given all of these factors and still getting 40.4 miles, I really can’t complain.

This church has plenty of nooks where I could spend the night, but since it is a historic site, it looks like it is open daily. I walked the whole place once or twice and picked out the best spot. I almost slept in the wood shed they have down out back, but I think that’s unnessisary. The nook I’m in is for three doors in the basement of the building which have tables on the other side of them, so its apparent that they don’t use them and I doubt they’ll notice me. Besides if I sleep in a place where I’m slightly afraid of being caught I’ll be more likely to wake up earlier.

I’m really happy with how today went, in regard to the rain. Even if this happens every day for an hour, I don’t think it would ever get misserable. A lot of that has to do with that quote I used to have in my profile which said something about how it is toue deposition on a situation that determines how you feel and not the situation its self.

Ohh well, its about to get pretty dark here, so I’m I’m going to put away the hose I used to take a shower, make myself a bowl of cold oatmeal, and sack up for the night.

Its still raining but not so bad, so here I go again.
