ON THE ROAD AGAIN

With the help of a sledge hammer and a hatchet to break ice away, we finally got all hitched up and out of town (which required chains at one point for about 5 feet), and the journey has begun. Not including any pictures today, seen enough ice to last quite awhile without having to see more of it in picture form. The roads for the most part have been ok.

Seeing as how the storm has left us, guess we'll run up towards Indianapolis and see if we can't catch up with it. Ordered a new pair of glasses this morning...and told that young girl that getting older sure had a good side, I could pick glasses based on comfort and durability, with pretty much total disregard for how snazzy they looked.

Hard to believe its the 16th day of the year already, even harder to believe we're just getting rolling but that ILD was about all we needed to be handling that first couple weeks. Sure relieved Mrs. Beans pulled out of that one so well, seems to be in much better health already than most all of last year.

My tooth with its temporary crown/cap is still pretty dang uncomfortable, wonder if the whole pain thing will begin again on the 5th when they pull the temporary and install the permanent? Hopefully when K goes thru this same process this week or next, it won't be so bad...I already warned him to get the script for the pain pills BEFORE he leaves the dentist, and already have em soaking in his belly before the number stuff thaws out. Hope he does that, if so he'll miss out on standing in the line at the walmart pharmacy with beads of sweat Popping out...on a cool day. Just out of shear dee-ole pain.

Ole Sam's been working for a couple weeks now, so far so good. Haven't heard from Wolf today...so thats probably meaning he's still out of spending money...which usually is alot easier on his liver..but I don't hear from him as often. Sure wanted to stop in and visit with Marbella again before we headed out on this journey, and return her glass pie plate.

Found and delivered a box Pocahontas packed when she was about 8 or 9, like a time capsule for her going thru it, she found old diaries she was working on in 2cnd grade that occasionally had a page with just a brief entry "I've been rather busy, no time to write". Wow, that reminds me of a recent post of anamnesis about a goldfish that a person should put on their walls for reference. Of course instead of the bit about the castle we could write "be rather busy".
