I've started the new trip.  Hurray!  I'm presently visiting Audrey (oldest daughter) and her family in CT.  The trip down was uneventful except for a shock when passing through Massachusetts.   People were courteous and, for the most part drove sanely.

A couple of days here and I'll be on the road again.  There are a lot of times when I think I could live like this permanently.  Then reality creeps in.  Like most people I need a community.

Time for bed.

It's Tuesday, April 24.  I had hoped to be on the road tomorrow morning.  Today I took the truck in for a lube, oil, and safety inspection.  The slight vibration I've been feeling has come from some worn out front end parts.  The garage will do the replacement tomorrow (I hope) and I'll be able to leave Thursday.  Major expense though.  The mechanic said I was OK for another 1000 or 1500 miles.  Of course I'm looking at 2500 to 3000 miles again this trip.  Better safe than sorry.

Getting ready to go again.

It's now April 3.  I am planning to leave on another trip starting April 24th or 25th.  I never did post the financial details on the fall trip.  That trip cost around $1600.  But that can't be used to figure a daily or mileage cost as I stayed some days with my daughters and some days with a friend in Florida.

The new trip will also include a stop to see the daughters.  Then I will be attending an Aliner  Owners rally in Myrtle Beach.  There are no plans for after that.

There will be some ham radio time this trip.  That I am determined to do.

I will also be doing more posting.
