I will be away for a few weeks.
the wife and I will be going on a mega road trip.
tomorrow, we depart the Pacific Northwest
and head South, through the Redwood Forest,
almost to LA, then turn East onto I-10.
when we hit the East Coast,
we'll turn South for West Palm Beach, Florida.
after a few days, we will fly home.
this whole exercise is to get our daughter's car
down to her in west palm, where she just moved.

anyway, don't have any fun here without me.
I expect there to be no damage to repair when I return.
IE, holes in the walls, broken glass...and so on.
if you have teenagers, you know what I am talking about.

Have a nice trip!:wavey:

And be prudent, take your time.

The house should still be standing...:kilroy:hopefully.

Hey Smilo,

Sounds like a fun trip!

We'll try to behave while you are gone.

okay everyone, wake up, I'm back.
the trip started with me grabbing my wife's jacket,
being sick for several days,
and basically being tailed all the way by a nasty storm.
I have been told several times that I brought
the current bad weather to Florida.
the temperature never reached 70
until the day we left....RATS!!!
sorry....I went there to get warm, honest.

real funny...:173go1:
actually, we have matching "company" jackets
(which, btw, we make a point of not wearing at the same time)
I put it on at our first stop,
300 miles from home.
I immediately took it off so I wouldn't pop the seams.
it was a medium, mine is a XL.
it did have 5 bucks in the pocket, though.
