Today was my last day at work for this week. Starting tomorrow I am heading out cross-country for a drive back to SD. The Jeep is packed except for the handful of high value items that I will carry out tomorrow morning. There wasn't enough time to do everything at work, so I am leaving with some stuff undone, but I am anticipating that I will be able to get some work done as soon as I arrive back in South Dakota.
I should get them some time Wednesday night, get a good night sleep, then I am going to do a quick turnaround and take my mom up to the orthopedic surgery center in Sioux Falls for shoulder surgery on Friday. We'll end up staying there for two days and then head back to Winner. For there I'll camp out at the ranch and work virtually. I am looking forward to it, though I am sure I am going to miss California, especially the weather!
So, the plan tonight is to simply unwind and then start the trip tomorrow. It is about fifteen hundred miles so it will take somewhere between twenty and twenty four hours of road time to get there. I've made the trip a dozen times or more over the years so it should be pretty routine. The advantage of car travel is that you're able to carry enough stuff that, in the event it is not normal you'll have enough tools and equipment to deal with anything that might arise.
So, wish me luck! I will probably have more of an opportunity to write while I am in South Dakota with those nice quiet evenings at the ranch.
