Another Day - Another Decision

For better or worse, I've decided to take some windsurfing equipment with us. The more I looked at maps, the more water I saw. Then there was an article about how the oceans have warmed stating 72degree water off of Maine, so what the heck. How much room can two boards, three sails, and some wetsuits take up? So, it's going with us.

We packed the Dakota yesterday evening. Well, we almost packed it. After high fiving each other over our apparent success, Carol saw that we had not packed Christy's sewing machine. Why this girl needs her sewing machine, I'm not sure, but we will indulge her and send it along. After all, I'm taking windsurfing stuff.

Just when you think you have it all covered, the DMV sends you a renewal notice. I wasn't worried about it because I renew on line, but then Carol said, "O shoot, we have to get the Z smogged." So in thirty minutes I'm off to a smog check place, hoping it won't take to long and the it is "ok".

Carol is busy house cleaning, doing laundry and double checking stuff for the trip. I'm sitting here at the keyboard. But I still have to finish loading the refridgerator and pack the dry food. Speaking of which, I have thirty bottles of wine that have to go somewhere. I was smart enough to save the last couple boxes that my wine shipments came in, so I've been able to secure two dozen bottles. Maybe on of the grocery store wine carriers will finish the job. Then, where do I store the wine. I'm thinking it will be best under the dinnette seats. Yea, that will work.

So we're at D-day minus 21 hours. I'm to smog.
