I guess we can start when the day actually began. So here we are last night about midnight, studying for Momentum and Energy Transfer. Studying continues until 3:30, the troops are displeased, moral is low. Sleep is rudely interrupted at approximately 6:00 by a small screaming black box that wants nothing more than to remind me how early it truly is. Exam commences less than promptly at 7:34 (yay professors that show up late but would be VERY put off if the roles were reversed 
). I finish the exam early, about 9:00. Proceed to meet with my project partner for Mechanical Systems Design. Finish the MATLAB code and write up, turn in, then the fun begins.
Hurry home, pack tankbag. Load up, wait for riding buddy to arrive. Wait for riding buddy to arrive. Wait.... Receive call from riding buddy. Having lunch together, not leaving yet, but I'm happy that lunch is happening as breakfast was somehow overlooked by my super attentive two and a half hours of sleep.
2pm - Hit the road. Driving Cincinnati to Pittsburgh, no interstates allowed, sweet. Taking 52 along the Ohio River for about 100 miles, then turn north, and intermittently pick up the river again for the next 300 miles till arrival in Pittsburgh.
Pros - Longest ride to date at 400+ miles, my 600 (jetted, K&N, grinded weld seams, slip on) posted 40+ mpg for the whole trip, south/south east Ohio is beautiful, gas costs are getting charged to somebody else.
Cons - I need a Corbin, I hurt, I tried to rail a little bit about 3/4 of the way through the trip when the roads got fun but muscles were to stiff and tired to lift me around in the seat well, I need a Corbin, ran into a traffic jam (construction, 3 lanes closed to 1) as soon as we got to Pitt that set us back a good half hour even though we were already there, did I mention I need a Corbin?
All in all an awesome trip. I got a little slap happy just outside of Wheeling and started yelling to all the people I passed on the road. And kinda dancing on my bike. Dancing equals singing very loudly and bouncing. Alot. I hope my forks are ok.
So, its a quarter til midnight, I've accumulated 14 hours of sleep since Sunday, and I'm on my second Leinenkugel's. What a day. I want to sleep, but why kill my streak?
