Well, Sal, plan to pack for four seasons with all your convertible layers. Put your down vest/gloves, etc. in a compression sack. We have to wait for a few orders to arrive (boots/new fleece over-wear) and we need to take the car in for a nice interior cleaning.

Next week it's oil change and brake inspection, we don't foresee any major issues, we just had a thorough ($$) check-up in June.

Then we have to configure the seats and decide where everything will be kept. Check all gear and make sure it's in working order, load the coffee supplies, corkscrew, stove, mess kit, water bottle, etc.

There is a lake in our way, so we'll go due south, then SW, the W, do lunch, then W. Then N, and W, W, W, W. N, N, W, W, S, N, W, W, W, W, N, N, W, W, W, W, S, S, S, N, S, S, S, E, NE, E, E, E, E, E, UP, E, DOWN E, N, S, E, E, E, E, S, E, E, E, N, home. Not too hard.

Uhhhhhh..thanks for making that all so clear for me, Cinders.. http://home.earthlink.net/~sal.pal/s...ctures/duh.gif ..I'm ready!!!:p

You bet, Sal! We only have 16 days, 11 hours to pull it all together. I'm even thinking about getting a map. Nah, waste of space.

:mfr_wha: :Ponder: :icon_question: :Talkative: Oh yeah, we understood that drivvel.... I did catch "DO LUNCH" tho. You buying?? :Rich: :Starvin:

* getting out handy dandy AMN code decipherer.* Let's see...ummmm. Go South, then SW, Now, would that be a R hand or a L hand turn??? :confused:

Nope, I told Wiz that you're buying. She was tickled pink.

*heading to Dollar Store for brown paper lunch bags*

Don't be expecting extra meat on your sandwich either... :Starvin:

Note to self: Eat before lunch with Wiz & dingbat.:icon_neutral:




Hey, where the heck is Flygirl? Somebody call Tattoo and find out where de plane went.

I'm feeling okie dokie today, I guess, but just wondering where all the time goes. I ccan't believe this is thursday already.:eek: I feel like I'm in a time warp all the time now.

Remember the song "Turn Around"? I was only 18 yrs old......turn around and I'm grown with Kids of my own, a Loving Husband, and a great life........turn around and I'm 67 with Kids grown, Hubby dead and NO LIFE!:D

It's all just flying by too fast for me. I hate it!!

Talk about being full of encouragement...NOT!:rolleyes:

No kidding, Sal, just last night I had the striking realization that it was already dark at 8:40. That really knocks the wind out of my sails every year. For some reason for me, it signifies the beginning of an end every year. I don't suppose MI winters help that much.

Lately, so much is changing around me and inside me, I am just detached from it all. Oh well, life will go on with or without me, so I had better go do something.
