Nine Days on the "Road" and I'm Gonna Make It Home Tonight!

In nine days I have lost nine pounds, and that is after eating two huge meals yesterday! I expected to lose some weight, but not quite so much so fast. Yesterday around 2 pm I was about 30 miles north of Pie Town when I borrowed Dave's phone (Verizon is the only service that works out there) and called my wife. "I'm about 40 miles from Grants." "Can you meet me at the Lota Burger in Grants between 6 and 7 pm?" At 6:35 pm I rolled in to the Lota Burger parking lot. She had gotten there from Albuquerque just minutes ahead of me. I am not quiting, but I am changing out some gear, replacing a busted tire, cleaning up, taking care of a slight medical issue, and picking up a spare derailleur hanger for Dave. I have a lot to do, and a lot to report today and tomorrow. Tuesday morning I will rejoin the group at the Sands Motel in Grants.
