Sandy is a wonderful project manager, having got her place in Chandler, OK, emptied out and ready for cleaning before I (belatedly) reported for duty. This seemed the right time to get the new vaccuum cleaner we needed and it did wonders on carpets. Sandy's moving crew had the U-Haul truck already mostly loaded and we put the finishing touches on the load yesterday morning, loading the clothes Sandy is bringing with ... in high temperatures.
Anyway, we got on the road before 1 p.m. and made it to Amarillo by about 7:30. Checked in, did a swim and chowed down at Lin's Chinese buffet. The rain had brought the temperature down from 104 at one of the rest stops to about 84, and it should just get better today as we get higher and drier.
The truck guzzles gas, loaded, going uphill and into the wind. But, it gets the stuff there. (Not sure where we put it when we get there, but that's tomorrow's problem.) It's not as nice as having my Sweetheart navigating in the seat beside me, but convoying is still more together than we'd been for about 10 days and that's nice ... at least there's a hug at rest areas and gas stations! :-} tv
