Did I really just post again?

That's right! Two days in a row, Yo!

So after writing yesterday that things were in a holding pattern I got to looking at a calendar and realized it's actually time to start getting my ass in gear.

The campground officially opens in 6 weeks, but I can get in early (any time after Feb 1st, but it's waaay to cold here now). I need to get in early. My site is quite large, but it's kind of a strange configuration and positioning the MH so the utilities work and it can conveniently be taken in and out throughout the summer will be tricky. Right now it is just backed into the middle of the site for the winter. It'll be easier, and no doubt much less embarrassing, to maneuver her into the best position while the campground is mostly empty and there are less witnesses!

So after looking at a calendar last night I decided that my 'moved in by' date should be March 15th.

That's 4 weeks away. Assuming the weather cooperates (I know - fat chance right?), I'll start on the 8th by reinstalling the batteries, positioning her in the site.. and again, depending in the weather, possibly de-winterizing her. The weekend of the 15th I'll move the remainder of my stuff in .

March 8th is only THREE weeks away! That means only two free weekends before things start to get interesting again!

Holy crapola!

I think I see a light in the tunnel. I hope it's not a train!

I'm sensing a pattern!

I didn't think blogging regularly would be easy.. I tried once before during a short road trip and figured that out!

Turns out I was right.. Kudos to all the bloggers that manage regular posts.. I'm going to stop apologizing for my lack of posts and hope things get better as things move along..

Right now things are kind of in a holding pattern any way. The motorhome is sitting, winterized and waiting for me at the campground. I've visited a few times over the last couple months to run the engine a bit and check on things but I've still got another month or so of winter before I can move in.

And a hell of a winter it's been here on the east coast.. Probably the worst/most snow we've had in a season in a few decades. Perfect. Why would I expect anything less?!?!?!?

I'm muddling through by telling myself it's ok, it's my last one!

I hate to wish my life away.. but I'll be glad when this winter is over and I can move into the motorhome and begin the second phase of preparing for takeoff.. Which is still scheduled for late November, right after the Thanksgiving holiday...

Woot!
