DAY 07 26112017

And on the 7th day, he rested. 

I went to bed last night and found myself unable to sleep. I think I'm overworking myself, and so I took the day off. Or nearly, anyways. I did get that GoPro from Costco, spending 350 hopefully-refundable very American dollars. I carefully unpacked it and took it for a test run - no more tack sharp windshield, hoorah. I honestly don't know when my old GoPro crapped out, because 8 months ago it focused just fine. With that taken care of, I spent the rest of the day cooking proper meals and getting some exercise and doing very little actual thinking about my work, which felt nice. 

Tomorrow I'm going to get up early, before sunrise, and start a day long journey documenting that road again. This time I'll stop as often as I want - I may even step out of my car, though with all that equipment I'm a little weary of leaving things unattended for long.

The last thing I want to mention is that, though these posts have been fun to produce, they're also time sinks. The point of them was to get eyes on work that I would have otherwise kept to myself, but that's not why I'm here, in Fargo, North Dakota. I have 3, maybe 4 days left before I start the long drive back, and I need to make them count. I'll still be writing daily, but I think I'm going to have to reduce the amount of images I post, as the sorting and editing is slow and painful on this laptop, and the uploading just a complete crapshoot.

Thanks for following along up until now.

P.S. No, I don't bathe with my camera. I took it in there with the express purpose of taking that specific photo.
