I had quite a few plans for this long weekend. No, not a trip, but some errands to get done. On the way to Walmart, I stopped by the local Kawasaki stealer (synonym for motorcycle dealers). By sheer luck, I got the tool I was waiting for a long time - the crescent wrench for steering head tightness adjustment. After ogling at the shiny machines at the showroom and sitting on a Suzuki VStrom 650 I set out for walmart. Within that 5 mile trip I could feel that something was happening very fast, and which I am too familiar with yet hate the most. The all-familiar pre-fever shudders were all upon me when I hurried to finish my shopping. I needed listerine, bread, and a fishing string. Nothing to do with fishing, but those strings are super strong and will help me remove the bulging Kawasaki logos from the tank. I just have a feeling that my bike is better without them, and tanks bags will be happier.

The ride back home was only 7 miles, but seemed like 100. I was shivering all over and desperately wanting to hit the bed for a day-long rest. I slept till 4:30 till I was hungry like a lion, ate some bread with philadelphia cream cheese, and cooked a peas-potato curry for dinner.

Piyush, my apt mate came from Stony Brook around 8:30 and I could finally connect to the internet by sharing his wireless connection. I still need to get a comcast cable modem connection, and soon.

Time to sleep. Fever on a long weekend at a place like california, with a bike and endless twisties around, SUCKS !

I miss my wife so much now…
