Day 7. Mile 1210. Wichita, ks

A sudden cash infusion makes things a bit easier on me. My electrical
system woes continue unabashed, though. I called several area shops and
none of them has a reg/rec in stock. The earliest one can get in is
friday. This was from a honda motorcycle dealership, by the way. I have
decided to push on until the bike bombs out, and then take a bus to
phoenix at the point of bust.

Val and I have met up with a friend of hers. We are headed to a shooting
range. I've never shot a gun before and the thought excites me. I told
her friend that I was a chicago city boy and the only shooting that goes
on there is in a drive by. He was amused. We will be shooting a
springfield x-9, I believe. It looked like a toy and the weight did not
impress me. I'm not sure what I expected, though.

I feel a bit anxious to get back on the road. Its not in me to stay in
one place long.
