Thanks for the kind words.
Our Mini-trip report:
Day 1/ Sat. Oct. 3---NC Beast slept in until after 8 am (worked late plus he had to do his time card and auto-email response). We finally left the house just before 10 am and dropped Jessie off at the kennel. It was almost 11 am so we decided to go to Steak and Shake. We had lunch and we got to the car MIL called on the cell phone. So, we finally left at a quarter to 12 and used the On-Star trial direction service. The estimated time was just under 9 hours...well...it took us a lot longer. We had a bite to eat at MC D's in SC at around 4pm. When we reached the Florida Welcome Center/rest area...NC Beast had a problem.
to be continued.........
Do tell... you have my interest peaked!
There are couple of more "bumps" on our road trip week.
a ring is not important.. he is so commited to you!!!
My DH had his ring slip off his soapy finger in the shower. I told him it was not that big of a deal. It was a simple gold band... damage to the drain would cost more. He became Superman and bent the grate and got a grabber tool and got it out. He couldn't just unscrew the screws because it was a 1962 bathroom and the grate had probably never been removed. After that we had a bent grate for a year or two before we finally remodeled the bathroom.Okay, NC Beast finally appeared with a panic look. He had lost his wedding ring and was trying hard to find it. I remember him telling me in recent times about his ring becoming real loose as he lost a lot of weight. I surprised him by telling him to forget about the ring since it was not the original and I rather him lose it because of weight loss. I wanted to get back on the road and get to our destination---AKL. We will eventually get him a new ring, but it won't be fancy until he reach his final weight goals.
