Finished packing bags, then moving bags around on bike so didn't inped pedaling, finally finished all that. Decided a shower would be nice before heading out, was a hot day, shower felt so good and it was still hot out thought short nap be good before making trip to Redfield for night. Woke up a couple hours later to the sounds of rain, not riding in rain, leave in morning no big deal. 
Stopping @ Jim's for beer.
Good start to the morning (19th) realized forgot old maps, figured it's time for new ones heading towards Waukee, Iowa DOT welcome center by Living History Farms, rode around south side of Hickman, finally ffound it on north. Maps in hand rode towards Waukee, thought One of the bars be open @ 10:30, didn't open till 11:00 can make Adel by then.
MK hard at work.
stopped @ Jim's Raccoon River Adventures to switch out and borrow a grocery bag for carring things, had a beer talking to MK for a few while changing bags. Hopped on bike was heading out when noticed rear flat tire, okay no big deal change tube on my way.....
Wrong answer!!! Changed tube was airing up, heard it, the earth chattering KABOOM, after we got down laughing about it, MK was going up town for lunch asked if she could bring me back a large lemonade, Lemonade and Vodka tasty treat. 
It was heard again the Earth chattering KABOOM , Set there the rest of afternoon drinking Vodka - lemonade. had one tube left. Jim was on his way out, had him grab me a couple more tubes, drank a few more beers and did some shots,. Didn't make it out of Adel Thursday. (to be continued)
