• Adventure Time Planning

    This time next week I’ll be heading home from DC. I’m inheriting my mother’s car (early 2000s Toyota RAV4) and rather than pay to ship it, why not use it as a chance to see the US again?  Heck, it’s been almost three years since I made the 3000 mile trek; I’m totally due. My father

  • Two months

    Same old. The cold is becoming more palatable, but I’m still not really riding outside because the sun and cold can permanently affect scar pigmentation during this period. Would rather stay on the safe side. Zero pain anymore, but not really feeling anything in the wound area so it feels like I have something on my lip
