This morning, Joan said to me, "It seems like all we do is move stuff. When are you going to quit working me so hard?" Yeah, this retirement stuff isn't for sissies. In the last 6 months, we've moved from the boat to the house, to the small RV, to the toy hauler, back into the house, back into the toy hauler, and now we're on our way to pick up our new 5th wheel. This may be the reason people decide to full-time in RVs or on boats - not having to move in and out!
We had the house buttoned down early and the trailer packed, so we decided to head out today. With the forecasts for Hurricane Gustav (bearing down on the LA/northern TX Gulf Coast), we decided that earlier is better. There will be a lot of folks heading inland to the north... and nasty weather chasing right behind them... better for us to be ahead of that situation. As it is, I expect we will see some precip and nasty weather all the way up to Missouri shortly after we get there.
Gustav is currently bashing Cuba - winds are 150 mph with gusts to 185. This is going to be an ugly situation. On its current path, it is going to create havoc with the offshore oil industry, and impact the New Orleans area... we are all going to feel the effects of this in our pockets with rapidly rising fuel prices. And heaven help the folks who are in the path of this one. Sigh.
