I'm putting my gear together and planning on an evening start to Eureka Springs

My son’s surgery (Thursday last week) went very well... He is able to bathe himself, get around pretty well, and told me I could go to InZane if I wanted. About all I've done since he was discharged, has been sleep with an ear pealed towards his room, and evidently, drive him crazy

... Every time I attempt to help him in some way, he sings the jingles from the ‘Pull-Ups’ diaper add, "I'm a big boy now..." Kinda his way of saying I'm too concerned

So, his big brother is here to help him with putting on, and taking off his T-Shirt, and really, that was about the only help I've been.
Hot, hot, hot, here... Gonna get the bike packed, and inspected, and plan on hitting the road about 9:00 ish, after the heat dissipates some, and after a bit of a nap/rest.
No hurry on my part... Gonna stop when I feel the need, gonna push if I'm up for it. Maybe hit ES, noonish, tomorrow (Tuesday).
Talked to Paul Webber yesterday, and have had other offers for a place to lay my head. Main thing, is I'm headed south in a few hours, and I have a clear conscience
