Cross Country Trip – Day 81

8 June 2018

Actually, today is 9 June but I was too tired to write the blog last night.  I pulled into the driveway yesterday around 1:30 pm (after skipping the breakfast at the B&B).  John, who had been staying at my place, apparently went on a cleaning frenzy before leaving and left me a sparklingly clean home.

Unfortunately, after I unpacked the jeep, it is no longer as clean as it was.

The biggest task was to unload the cargo carrier and hang it in the garage so I can park the jeep in there.  I also wanted to clean the outside (debug it literally) before hanging.  I used hot, soapy water and a scouring pad to get all the corpses off the carrier.

I washed a ton of clothes, even those that didn’t need washing, and put them away.

Next was going through 81 days of mail.  I can’t believe I get so much junk mail.  Every so often, I’d find an important piece, but most of it is pure junk.

It’s interesting that after 81 days, I am having to re-establish my routine.  I forget little things – like the alarm code, where to put folded clothes, and even how to make my coffee.

Today, other than my usual Saturday chores of cleaning the pool, the patio desk, and house (which I don’t have to do thanks to John) my goal is to completely wash and clean the jeep.  It needs a deep clean.  I also need to get the oil changed but that will have to wait until Monday.

I also need to pitch the big tent and let it air out and eventually, over the next several days, re-store all the camping equipment.

This has been a great experience.  I can’t wait to get started on all my photos: editing, compiling, labeling, etc. That should keep me busy until December and that’s good, because I certainly can’t afford to go anywhere.

Amazingly, my actual cost of the trip’s lodging was within a few hundred of the estimated.  I did a pretty good job of that. The other expense was diesel fuel and dining out.

I now dread trying to balance three months of bank statements!
