19 days till load-up and 20 days to departure. .. those are Susan-days, not Hardi-days-- to calculate his I would have to subtract days that belong to parish and Diocese. ... which would be most of them!

I got the van mostly emptied of the luggage, trash, and pop-up dog crate from the last trip, lvg a heavy Cabela trunk and a big bike box for Hardi-- the bike box = half a mattress box and I bought a cheap vinyl mattress protector for tge bed's undies. If the bike shop sells another bike before loading day tge mattress will have shirt AND pants! I bought rope to tie it all tight against trailer-wind.

Tonite we will carry the leftover packing boxes up attic for a future use. I'm out of packing tape anyhow; I have the two Cabela trunks and two large, rectangular plastic bins I can use as catchall boxes, that I want at CR anyhow. One is a huge plastic toybox, yay!
