    Lots of pain today. Pulled muscles in my lower back yesterday while in a crawl space during a home inspection. Great just in time for the ride on Saturday. :banghead:

    Alene always worked well for me but my heart doc said don't take aleve as the doc said aleve can cause a heart attack. So I take ibeprofane (sp). I got a hip belt on all day today and helps some. Still going though and all packed.

    I feel asleep with the phone in my hand and forgot to post the pic.

    I'm in Adel Iowa now and beat from the heat. Was a slow day to with lots of road construction. The other group is still not hear and it's midnight. We got in at 10pm. Iowa is a nice looking state with a lot of rolling hills. They sure do have a lot of corn fields, everywhere. So hot today all the farmers cattle In all the fields were all standing on ponds up to there chest. Temp gauge on the bike was pegged at 100.
