Not Ready Yet!

Well we only have a few days left until we start this adventure and I feel nowhere near ready! I haven't been able to get any more riding in due to horribly rainy weather and responsibilities at home.
I still don't have my bike completely ready. I still need to degrease the drivetrain and re-lube. I also haven't tested the rack with much weight on it. I did test the fit of the panniers and sprayed all my bags down with silicone spray. I still have to do a final shopping trip for food and supplies.
Last week I did get my tent out, seam sealed it, and aired it out (hasn't been used in about 13 years). I had a scare though. When I went to pack it away one of the shock cords snapped in the tent poles! I had to quickly lookup how to repair/replace these cords. And would you believe no store in the Johnstown area sells replacement shock cord long enough? I had to order it on Amazon. However I didn't know how quick it was going to show up and if I'd have the time to replace it, so I ended up doing a quick repair of the existing cord. I'll carry the new cord in case it's needed. Here's a picture of my tent (nothing fancy):

Well, I better get going. I have a lot to do to be ready! The next post will likely be the first night of the trip. Toodles!
