New, Wash, Last minute, Road Trip

Yesterday when Cindy was at a store she saw a smaller green version of the spider inflatable that I have in the yard.  She thought I may want it since she knew the old one was on it’s last legs so she let me know about it.  I asked her to grab it for me.  I wasted little time before I added him to the yard.

I was flying around last night getting things done.  I even found the time to quickly wash the Tesla which had a layer of grime on it.  Yesterday I also started the wheels in motion to potentially take a Thanksgiving road trip to Texas to visit my sister and her family.  Cindy was good with watching the homestead which makes it all possible.

It will be a bit of unconventional schedule.  Because of existing vacations in our department that week I won’t be able to leave Naples until Wednesday evening.  My plan is to drive until midnight or so, hopefully winding up in north Florida, hopefully in the panhandle somewhere.  Then after minimal sleep I will be back on the road for a very long day of driving which will get me to Torrin’s house in a suburb of Dallas sometime Thanksgiving night.

It will be a grind for sure but I can make it work.  The one positive is on Thanksgiving Day traffic should be relatively light, hopefully allowing me to make decent time.  Of course I will be taking the Tesla, which makes long drives almost fun.  I plan on staying there three days before allocating two days for the drive back.  If it all works out it should be a fun little adventure.

I got a text at 6AM this morning from the tree guy, who I was trying to schedule to do the trimming again this year.  He said he had a last minute cancellation and wanted to know if he could come this morning.  I said that was fine as long as he didn’t need someone there, which he didn’t.  It will be nice coming home to a trimmed property.  The few things I won’t have him trim I can knock out in an hour or less.
