Monday, June 29

Today is a work day.  I'm going to get the truck hooked up to the trailer and ready to travel for tomorrow.  Then, I need to get the lawn mowed and the pool ready for the trip.  Any extra time may be devoted to weed wacking.

5:20 p.m. - Good progress on the day.  I have the truck and trailer connected and ready to go; I even went a little practice driving through Milan, on the interstate, and filled up with gas at Casey's.  I then got home and got the grass mowed and wacked the weeds in the ditch, which is a big accomplishment.  I haven't gotten any exercise, so I'm going to swim or ski walk tonight.
