switchin' it up

Mikey and I had planned to leave Williston this coming Saturday, August 9th.... that is until Mikey took what was supposed to be a short trip to Denver. He was sent there by Halliburton to give his final presentation of all that he's learned during his internship. Well, his plane was overbooked and apparently it was so hot that they were only flying the plane at half capacity. They bumped people, asked for volunteers bumped people and then asked for volunteers again. Mikey said that the two people by him were in desperate need to get back, as one's mother was dying and another was a much-needed doctor. So, mikey being the generous man that he is gave up his seat... little did he know that the next ticket out of denver to williston wouldn't be until wednesday.... and, by this point his bag was already on its way to williston.... anyway, to make a very long and complicated story shorter, he is now in Fargo and I have packed up everything and am ready to head for the true home front tomorrow in the morning.
The cargo includes:
- 3 tackle boxes
- 2 cats
- 2 hermit crabs
- 2 plants
- umpteen bags of clothes
- a gun
- a coffee roaster, grinder and green coffee beans
- a tub of garden produce
- two cat crates
- two litter boxes
- two cat napping beds
- one hammock
- 2 fishing poles
-1 one canoe
- two paddles

.... and a whole lot more... This should be quite the trip... as I'm usually asleep within the first 10 minutes of hitting the road... I'm hoping for safe and friendly travels...... wish me luck!

I love the Mathers family! Wait. Where is your house again? Are we neighbors? Could life be that good to me? I read this thing. Just so you know. Let's take out the canoe when I get back. Okay. Bye guys. :)
