Paused dreams

It usually takes about 5 minutes for me to get out of bed. I shift my body over the air mattress and Lincoln posted up right on my chest. He doesn’t move until he rolls off. When he rolls off, is prime opportunity for him to get a good morning belly rub. After that, I get on my iPad or my MacBook Pro and do some writing. Constantly checking on the weather in Ojai, to make sure my camper isn’t washed away. My dream is paused.

My dream exactly was this: living in the camper, bouncing around from RV park to National Park from town to town, city to city. Once they lift these restrictions, I will be able to return to this plan.

Until then, I am figuring out how to upgrade my bike situation. I currently have a 2019 Trek Domane SL 6 Disc. This beauty will forever be a part of my quiver. Not selling it but going to strip the parts off and transfer them to a gravel set up. I don’t ride gravel, but I would love to have some options of on and off road use.

I’ve been saving and i’m very close to pulling the trigger. Once I get this baby in my hands… I am positive the creative and adventure juices flowing.

Until then, here’s some dope photos:
