Tomorrow: I’ll worry about that when I get there.

Narrative: We opened the freezer that was in the Bumpkin yesterday and it was a solid block of ice. I put a large fan to thaw out the freezer around lunch yesterday. It was thawed when we got home after dark so I double bagged the contents and put them in paper bags to protect the plastic. The problem is that I left them outside and it rained on the paper bags this morning. Things are never easy. I put the bags on top of a wire cage and a fan underneath to dry them out. Dropped off the last of the paperwork that needs to get to grandpa’s. Bought fire alarms and gave them to R, the mounts are still on the ceilings. We also took the washer off the dolly so that it doesn’t roll into R’s car. D is on his way here, but it is raining pretty hard. We’re packing up, will have to wait to load the car. We searched the house again for paperwork, removable media and computers and either sent it with D+M to grandpa’s or loaded it into the car. We had a full car when we came down here, it’s going to be packed for our trip back. (We couldn’t take our battery powered chainsaw home because of it’s large size.) We did manage to get in a significant Nap before departing for Atlanta around 5PM, 8 hours later than I had planned. We got home around 11:40, which is quite respectable. The GPS said 4 and Half hours and I thought that was crazy talk, but we got home in 6 and half hours having eaten a large dinner at Chilis in Tifton. (Which was AWSOME by the way.)

There is more detail I will add later, it’s 8AM Wednesday and I need to get that page started.
