4 days and a wake up...

It's official. I'm burnt out. It took me 2 hours to change the oil, filter, fuel filter, and air filter on the car tonight. I need a break. Tonight and tomorrow night are going to be getting ready for the load up, and trying to find the appropriate amount of a$$ to finish what I want to get done before Sunday. The car can leave right now, as is, so I don't feel too bad about the break. I've got to film some pretrip stuff for the video, and having my Son be camera man, creative assistant, gopher,... will be as fun as it will be therapeutic.

Just have to collect some supplies and do some final dress up stuff.

This is going to be HUGE!!
you'll be right!

I always love the few days before a roadtrip- unable to sleep, imaginging what it'll be like- dream driving down roads you've never driven..

then the first morning reality hits- you're tired and there's 2000 miles to go, so you sup a coffee and pile on the miles..

pretty soon you're driving the roads you dreamed, marvelling at sights you'd never see in a plane, investigating nooks and crannies in backwater towns..

End of the first day you arrive tired but elated and sleep the sleep of the adventurer..

when you get back, its always 1 day off then back to work, a tired husk of who you were..but hell, nevermind- ya can sleep when you're dead!

Good luck!
