Deer-o'clock and room service

It is important to me that I arrive at my destination before dusk, to reduce the chances of possibly hitting a deer. Very important.

I normally am thrifty and had planned to pick something up for dinner at a grocery, but by the time I had checked into the hotel, I was exhausted. Room service to the rescue!

Dig this:
- Buffalo hot wings with ranch.
- A half pound bunless beef burger with mushroom, Swiss, and an over easy egg.
- A side salad with blue cheese dressing
- And a side of garlic butter asparagus

When I'm hungry?
....watch out. I can ketofy anything anywhere.

Powered by ketones

Dunn Brothers stop. Cold press with heavy cream. It's all the fuel I need to ride 300 miles. I'll find some kind of protein to indulge in tonight. I'm craving seafood. Maybe I'll polish off a bag of cooked shrimp. Dipped in melted butter. My hotel room has a microwave.
It's an incredibly wonderful day. High 70's. I'm ready to stop for the day already. 100 miles to go before Dubuque. I've already started taking side roads and exploring tiny towns on my route.
I plan to completely investigate Minnesota now. No one is safe. If you live there I'll be by. No doubt about it.

I got gypsy in my blood, and there's no stopping me now. I love this entirely too much. And being ketogenic makes the travel so much more simple. I can intermittent fast whenever it's convenient. My body temperature is cooler too. There is no way I could have handled these 90+ degree days with humidity off the charts and a heat index over 100* F without my excellent fat adaptation!

Here's a lizard pic for my favorite motorcyclist, Peyton:

I love my keto life.

Pancakes and Lizards

Tammy Kidd sent me off today with bacon and super low carb pancakes this morning. They're made with coconut flour, mayonnaise and eggs!

Peyton wanted to see the pannier lizard again. 100 miles into my 600 mile trip, I stopped to take a photo for her.

I'll be stopping for the night in Dubuque, about halfway to Minneapolis. I booked a really nice hotel again, with an indoor swimming pool. I'll be arriving early and enjoying the amenities. 

I stopped in Bowling Green Missouri.  I asked for 3 shots of espresso,  the young girl did not understand how to work the machine, so ended up with 10 shots. I'll be sipping on this high octane fuel all day.

I never would have been able to physically endure this trip if I weren't in ketosis. The mental clarity and physical edge keto gives me made this possible.

It's cool outside today and gorgeous.

I've had such a wonderful trip. Fantastic people, beautiful sights! Spoiled rotten I was.

I'm already thinking about when and where my next trip will be ......

Who wants to go with me?

Badass Diabetes Warriors

My good friend Tammy Kidd. As badass as they get. 

I'm proud to know her.

Even though she FORCED me to sleep with a Harley blanket all week. SMDH

Meat Up in St. Louis

What a fine group of people. I saw familiar faces and met a few new ones. A blue rare ribeye steak cooked perfectly at The Block, along with some flash fried Brussels sprouts in citrus seasoned shallots. I also ordered a sous vide beef rib as an "appetizer".

I DO WHAT I WANT

A sample of in house homemade garlic seasoned pork rinds and a Jack & Coke completed my meal. The waiter brought out bowls of butter as requested, herb flavored by the chef. Special.

Good times.

St. Louis Missouri

Had to visit the arch one more time. I leave for Minnesota in the morning. I'm not usually one for man made features, but this is beyond impressive. You HAVE to see this.

The ride down to the arch park was covered with cobblestone, lined with sidewalk cafes, and embellished with horse drawn carriages. It was a trip riding that dirt bike down those rough streets. I drew more than a few stares.

Clayton, Missouri

Because Mike Zorn.

Curious about the city my friend Mike works for, Clayton is a western suburb of St.Louis Missouri. A beautiful city with several parks and colleges and many brick buildings.
I found a coffeeshop. Starbucks will have to do. I get their cold press, no added water, light ice, no sweetener. Add an inch of heavy cream.
Perfect.
