Mexico!
Day 1
15 October 2006

Rain. Left house at 1830, arrived at Prof's at 2200. Rain stopped about 30 minutes before SATX. Prof slept on couch... gave me his room. One room his, one for Chain Gang inventory, one computer room. Dinner - Alamo Cafe. Sleep.

Day 1 began sort of late.  My plan was to make it to Prof's (AKA Steve) house at a decent hour, but as all good plans do... 

The bike was readied over several days preceding the trip.  New tires, loading up all of the gear, yada yada yada...  

My daughter had a birthday party she needed to attend.  It began at 1600.  (Who ever heard of a kid's birthday party starting at 4:00 on a Sunday afternoon?)  The festivities finally ended around a 1800, and by 1830 I was on the road to Prof's.

I'd spoken with Steve several times during the past couple of days, and he assured me it would be OK for me to crash at his place in San Antonio the night before we departed for the border. 

I left my garage in the pouring rain, and the rain continued until I arrived at Steve's place at 2200.  He opened the garage door where he had already made space for me...


Inside the garage of #1 for the evening.

Steve showed me my room, which I quickly figured out was actually his room--he was going to sleep on the couch.  Obviously I would have none of that, but Steve insisted.  Turns out two of his three bedrooms are dedicated to the Chain Gang.  One room is for inventory, one for the computer (the Chain Gang office), and finally the master bedroom.  That's the kind of guy Steve is... would give you the shirt off his back.

We went to dinner at the Alamo cafe, talked about the plan for the next day, and I turned in.

Mileage = 190.
