Final Stages of Preparation

We have been working frantically to get our trailer packed and empty the job jar so that we can leave on Friday.

We had a few last minute setbacks on the truck, so we may have to wait until Saturday to get on the road but that's OK too. We are watching the forecast carefully to make sure we don't have to drive through a snow storm. So far, so good.

We found a small fuel leak on our truck that had to get fixed. We installed a 300 litre "Supertank" so that we could avoid filling up with the trailer hooked up and it wasn't installed correctly, so I had to get up at 4 AM for a run down to the installer in Calgary. Went great until the inevitable traffic jam on the Deerfoot but the tank got fixed and I got back at 3 PM.

We worked late in to the evening on our preparations. The yard, garage and truck are all ready and we need to finish up inside the house today. We have not run out of storage in the trailer yet but judging by the mountain of stuff Carmen has piled up, I am sure we will run out.

Oh well, one or two more days and we will finally be underway. Off to wake Carmen up ...
