The odds are pretty good that we will get a couple more days off before we are done, so we may actually be down to single digits for work days. This boy has some itchy feet.
As we get close, the discussion turns to "what next?" It is going to be warm if we head south right away. There are forest fires around the western part of the US that we want to avoid (had more than our share of smokey smells, thanks). Boat time on the water sounds better than slogging through the heat with a boat on land. We'll have to see what Mother Nature has in store as departure time nears.
Joan asked me what I miss about home, and I said (in this order): "The scooters, the jacuzzi tub, and the Select Comfort mattress." I am lobbying to take off again once we check out the house, this time with the RV. We can haul the scoots, it has a Select Comfort, too... but no way to take the hot tub.
In the words of the philosopher Meatloaf: "Two outta three ain't bad."

BTW, I don't know if you saw my post in C-Brats but I had to get a new engine for my C-Dory.
New Honda 90 and a 9.9
Cost a much as the boat. :((
Hi Bill. No, I guess I missed that post about the new motors. A big expense, but it is usually the engine and electronics that depreciate, not the hull. You should be good to go for a LOT of years!
Jim - I use this site to get current info on fires - lots of smoke this year. We are spending Labor Day week on Lake Shasta (houseboat).

OOPS - forgot the link to the fire reporting site - it is:

Hi Bob. Joan has been looking over that site. It will be a couple weeks, at least, before we start our trek south, but we'd like to find a route that keeps us out of the smoke, as much as possible.
