Did an oil change on the bike and left Atlanta.
Doesn't sound like much happened along the way other than me enjoying the ride and and the benefits riding a motorcycle has over driving a car.
Arrived into North Carolina at my friends Alex and Melissa's place. Dubbed around town, tried to talk about my recent thoughts and encounter but really ended up just riffing on other thoughts until the wee hours.
