It is almost time

After months and months of planning and Dreaming we are feeling a lot of panic.  Bobbi flies out mid week for a quick trip to Colorado for a big event.  She gets back about midnight one day and we leave at first light the next morning

I am putting just a little bit of pressure on her to have all of her stuff in the trailer before she flies.  She is just organized enough to pull it off.  She must be feeling confident because today she decided that Bess (that's the trailer's name) really needed a bath so she spent today washing the trailer.  So for the first 100 miles we will probably have the cleanest trailer on the road.

I hope to get the truck loaded this weekend with all the stuff I think I might need in case something besides my brain fails on this trip. Weight is the enemy on this trip so I am trying to choose only essential gear.  Harder than it might sound, especially when it comes to electronics.

The 90 degree days are making it rather unpleasant to do manual labor.  Open door take two steps wipe sweat out of your eyes, go back into the air conditioned house and repeat until you manage to get one or two items to the truck or trailer.  Go in put feet up and re-hydrate so you can try again 2 hours later.

The pups are starting to get nervous cause they know something is up cause the spare room has stuff laid out all over the bed.  I just don't know how we are going to manage to tell them to stay when we walk out of the house to leave on this trip.  We have a great house and dog sitter lined up and as long as they are fed according to their schedule they probably won't miss us too much.  We are hoping the sitter shows more discipline than we do cause our Sprout is a little to hefty for her own good per the vet visit today!!!

So about 7 months ago we bought a handy dandy little GPS for the truck.  Bought it early so my navigator would have plenty of time to practice with it so she could get me through the major cities.  In seven months we probably have taken 15 road trips in which practice could have happened.  Could have happened if we would have remembered to bring it!!!  So we will learn as we go.

So it is a nice cool evening here and I should be up and about getting stuff done but as usual I would rather stay here and try to remember how to work this blog.  I promise I will get essential clothes in the trailer before the end of this week. Yeah right!!!

So will try to get another update done before we actually take off.

So until later  Bobbi n Sylvia
