Meanders With Mammoth -- Still Stuck in Place

                                     No more than three of any implement are ever placed on the
                                                                    table, except when an oyster fork is used 
                                                                                  in addition to three other forks. .

The only excuse I can offer for this lack of movement is that a massive vacation in South Korea occupied our thoughts and minds for about four weeks.  Or at least, my thoughts and mind. Ed seemed to be happily fitting Mammoth out--installing windshield curtains, picking out dishes, hooking up electronics and cleaning every surface in sight.



He was doing a great job, but I worried he was overdoing on the housewares. How many baking pans and casserole dishes and strainers and measuring cups do you really need in a motor home?  He seemed to think we were setting up for a trip around the continent, or a permanent relocation to the mobility lifestyle. Which would be fine except that I still had a full-time job paying the bills. I wish he'd redirect his efforts to the tool box and the engine compartment. We needed those things for any trip, short or long.













The tentative plan was to do a Friday overnight first, then think about a longer trip at Thanksgiving. But it was supposed to rain--a lot--on Wednesday. So maybe Friday week.
