A clean machine

December 14, 2009
Peoria, AZ

Today was day 1 of our two-day trip preparation.  We're in great shape for travel.

We got up early (well, 7:30 AM is early for us) and headed for the storage lot.  Geri dropped me off and headed back home for her coffee.  I went to the nearest truck stop and topped off the fuel tank so we'll be ready to leave Wednesday morning. 

Oh, and in the "it figures" department, the Fed-Ex package we were expecting to be delivered tomorrow which led us to change our schedule:  yep, it was delivered at 9:00 AM this morning.  So much for the accuracy of the online tracking system.

We'll stick to our revised schedule anyway, and today's tasks involved cleaning.  I washed the outside, starting with the roof, and Geri tackled the inside.  Once clean, I loaded routine stuff in the bays (cleaning supplies, spare filters and fluids, tools), so we'll be ready to load clothes, food, etc. tomorrow.  Then we'll hit the road first thing Wednesday.

That's interesting ... I've never had a FedEx package arrive early.

On good thing about fulltime you don't need to load anything :-) and we would have been on our way a day early. Enjoy the Holidays and drive safe !!

George, remember the FedEx package I found on the road to Talkeetna, AK and delivered it.

Yep, proud of you Georgie Boy. Rod and I learned you well. A change of plans isn't the end of the world. Heck, next thing you know, you'll be looking for a Wal-Mart parking lot on purpose.
