One thing I really like is not having to remember a million passwords, changing them every 60 days, and all the color codes and technical stuff that I had to deal with in my telecom career. The thing we have to get going now, is a regular routine. We must stay active and watch our diet. Once we hit the road, I believe it will be easier because all the new places to explore (walks and hikes).
The first week of September is our planed departure.
Our daughter Kim is now living in Vancouver, WA with her sister Candy. With college behind her, job hunting is her priority. I hope she lands something soon. We visited them when we moved all of Kim's dorm stuff to her....and her cat.
We have had KC and Boo Boo for quite some time now. KC was her cat. Now that she is out of school, she has KC again. Now we just have Boo Boo.
I have been working on our full timer's budget quite a bit lately. I put a lot of thought in how our finances will be working out while on the road. We have started tracking every penny this month (June) since I retired on the 3rd. We will have to watch our spending for the first 2 months because my retirement money won't be transferred to our financial advisor till August or so. Two items in our budget need work. We are way over in the 'food' category, and traveling to visit our 3 kids who are scattered around the state, we are over in 'Diesel fuel' too. Once on the road, we can stay put for longer periods and travel when we want to. We will see.
We will take a trip to South Dakota sometime in August to get our Driver's Licenses and the rigs registered.
That will finalize our domicile plans. We then will be South Dakotans. We are coordinating the trip to meet up with our friends Ruth and Dale Finkenbiner, who we met up with at he RV Dreams rally back in September 2012.
It will be fun to mix a little fun in with the business.
Last Sunday, after church, we had lunch with our good friends Bruce and Carol. They are the ones who own the apricot orchard that we are going to help out in early next month. The cots are starting to turn and we will be picking and packing soon.
Happy, Happy, Happy!
