53 days an I can't wait to get out of here

The heat wasn't too bad last night, turned on the ionizer fan, slept pretty well, still selling stuff on the FB groups, but some people are being flakey.  But sell sell sell I do.
The first parts of the drive train rebuild start showing up tonight, so when is the worst time to start rebuilding the drive to the bike you are going to ride across country?
Oh yeah, when you have 60 days left before you leave, duh, some of the shipping arrival times are going to cut it close, as I plan to move my stuff into storage at the end of the month.
So I have the derailer tonight, shifters over the weekend, and a new sprocket cassette next week.
I already changed the chain, so new cranks, and chainrings to make things go smoothly, I didn't like the shifters on the bars anyway, so I'm switching to a top tube mounted shifters.
So let that be a lesson to you, with 60 days left before you have to be out of the house, don't start rebuilding the bike... lolz.
It should work out fine.

Did a good deed, returned a debit card to the Texas Bank location, looked like someone was pulling that magical device out of her pocket and the debit card fell to the ground....I assume the bank people picked it up when they were unlocking the doors on monday. Also found a leather toolbag, with tools in it. This is the hill to get out of Brownwood, as the city is in kind of a bowl that creates sort of a weather bubble to keep the rain out. This is the green sign you can barely see in the first pic. Made it, 9ish miles, not much to see, was looking for those junk stores that were there when I first rode past, they weren't open.  Didn't find my fellow dumpster diver's place either. Here's the toolbag, I gave

 Found this pen and ink, sadly the tag that tells you who the artist is was vaguely stapled on, but the tag for how to hang it, oh that's on there like monkey going through puberty. Reminds me of someone..... I think that says Gary??? anyone else able to read medical scribing?
