It's Time

I know we are leaving today because as soon as I finish this I'm packing up the router (Lynksys not Dewalt) and DSL modem, then the cable boxes and TIVO.  After that we have to leave.  So then it's final vacuum and our chauffeur, Tony, picks us up.  Yesterday evening we put the cars into winter mode.  The Subaru gets the garage and the Ford gets the driveway and a tarp. 






Frank gets one stall and that's about it.  As usual, I got carried away with the tie down ropes/bungees. Looks like all it needs is a address label and he could send it to us.  Tonight we get as far as Kenai; tomorrow we actually get on an airplane to eventually arrive in Portland.
