Chilling in the heat

It's crazy hot here today - 96 actual with a heat index of 107.
We got out early to hit the farmers' market, Sam's Club and Kroger.
Maria's been working on the drapes and I've been gathering my travel stuff, reorganizing my tankbag while playing my iPod on shuffle through the home theatre sound system.
It clouded over and the radar shows rain coming in from the northwest, so I did a quick lawnmowing blitz of the back yard - the only part I didn't mow the other day.
After crunching numbers and reviewing routes, I've concluded that it's wiser to do the ride to the rally in three easy days, rather than in two hard days.
So I'm leaving Monday, rather than Tuesday, and aiming for Omaha on Monday evening - 547 miles.
