Bill Strikes Again!  Honestly I didn’t mean to, but it’s just, well, I sort of have my own weird way of doing things.  I’ll explain in a minute.  This morning was another cold one with temperatures in the low 40’s.  Yet, by noon time we were back in the mid 70’s.  It’s as weird as it gets.  It sure doesn’t motivate one to climb out from under the warm covers.  If only Marti could understand this and hold it a bit longer than 6 am each day.  What do you think sport?

So, the day began slowly with no real rush since we didn’t have anything planned other than beginning to pack up.  After strawberry pancakes – yum- and sausage and a glass of juice and a cup of coffee, I was ready to go.  Yea, your right I am eating like a king thanks to my sweetheart.

After breakfast it was time to start getting things ready to go.  I went outside and got the car hooked up.  Then I received a surprise of sorts.  I went to check the transmission fluid level and to make sure it wasn’t burnt or discolored or whatever.  Get this, you can’t

check it!  It states in the owner’s manual the only time you should worry about it is if there is a leak.  Meaning a puddle underneath.  Let’s get real.  No, I need to get real and get a real car!  How ridiculous.  Who was the knucklehead engineer who thought this up.

Well, anyway, onward and upward.  The only other thing left to do was treat the tires with

Quick, simple and easy enough to do.  Done in less time then it takes to type this.

Now, regarding my opening remark Bill strikes again.  For the past several years, I have been keeping our financial records in Quick Book.  Only problem, I’ve been doing it for years in my own weird sort of way.  Barbara accepted the challenge of finally putting

everything right so that at the end of the year we could run detailed reports of all of our expenses.  I don’t believe she really knew what she was getting into.  I say that because she sat down today with the proclamation that this won’t take long.  I believe it was some 3 or 4 hours later, perhaps longer that she finally had it done.  I’m sure at some point she must have felt like she wanted to shoot me.  Honestly, sweetheart I meant no harm, no foul.  You know by now after all our years together that there is a right way, a wrong way, and a Bill way!  And when something has been done the Bill way for too long, oh boy trying to straighten it out is going to be a project.  Thanks sweetheart for cleaning up my mess and putting all things right at last.

In addition to this, we went through our clothes and decided what to keep and what needs to go.  We started putting things in their cubbyholes in preparation for again getting on the road tomorrow.  The weather report calls for rain in the afternoon so we’re hoping to make the next hop and get settled in before the storms come.  Stay tuned and we’ll let you know.

Once again we traveled through the day together, side by side enjoying each other’s

company and enjoying each minute of the new day given to us by our good Lord.  We hope you had a wonderful day as well.  So now the day is drawing to a close and night is again beginning to surround us.  I believe the last thing we’ll do tonight is watch another episode of  Star Trek.  Here’s a thought that I’d like to leave you with tonight

God’s Kindness Always Meets Our Deepest Need

As always,  if you are coming to the end of your day with concerns and worries let me suggest that you turn them over to God.  After all, He is going to be up all night so why not let him handle them for you.

Time now for our evening prayers and some shut-eye.  Till tomorrow.  Thanks again for sharing our day with us.

These are the voyages of  Graybeard and it’s occupants, four paws and two humans.  Our continuing mission: to explore as many new states as possible, to seek out new acquaintances and make new friends, to boldly go where we have not been before
