Packing Day

Up and out of the house before 8 o'clock this morning to pick up the U-Haul trailer.  I ordered a 4X8, the smallest size and they had a brand new one for me.

Didn't take long.  $300 and I have it for six days so I will have to move fast across the country.  No sight-seeing on this trip.  Home a little before 9 o'clock and after a cup of coffee I started loading the trailer.  It's going to be a beautiful sunny day and I'm glad for that.  Yesterday was rainy, windy and very cold.  Much, much better today.

I have been packing and placing stuff into the garage this past week, so I was ready to start loading.  By 11:30, to my surprise, I had most everything loaded and it appears that I will be able to cram everything in that small guy.

I stopped to eat a couple of boiled eggs, half a grapefruit and a tangerine along with a second cup of coffee.  For the remainder of the day, I grabbed what was left to pack and this evening I believe I have everything accounted for.  If not, I guess I won't need it.

Hopefully, I won't have too many jitters and get a decent night's sleep.  I have a route planned, but the weather will determine my travel plans.  I'm hoping to make good time and travel about 450 miles a day, but I will ultimately go at a rate my body can handle.

Thanks for stopping by.  Hopefully, I will be coming to you tomorrow night from somewhere in Kansas.  See you later.
