Greetings from a traveling lurker. Best wishes to all on your multiple projects, and hope everyone is battening down well for winter, or has long since done so up in the frozen regions.

I spent a long but rewarding several days at the storage unit, regrouping and reloading the RV/caravan. It was difficult getting ready for freezing nights while the temp a balmy 84. But, hopefully I am now kitted out for boondocking, mineral hunts, and micromounting in the Southwest instead of loaded down with rock finds, books, and 'stuff' while doing family visits in the South and Midwest.

The most satisfying thing was to scan and shred a lot of paperwork, trip logs and notebooks. I did learn the hard way last year that one must make sure the scan went correctly and is backed up thoroughly, before one gets to the fun of shredding.   

Freed up enough room to drop the old laser printer into the cabinet under the loveseat. Never thought that would be necessary, but I find I need it for projects, etc. Minimalism has its limits!
