SO EXCITING!

Everything is exciting right now.  I am starting this post before we even leave for camping.  Jen and family are due to arrive at any moment.  The beans are cooking, the ribs are roasting, the coleslaw dressing is merging (can't remember the proper word....shovel list), all is ready.

This morning was pretty cool.  Monte and I went to the dealership to get the jeep.  And I tell ya, the whole place was atwitter with excitement!  This was the first 2020 vehicle sold here and def the first jeep gladiator.  Before I could drive away though they lined the whole crew up with us and took pictures.

And this jeep, let me tell ya, is waaaay better behaved than Tank ever was!  Because of the longer wheel base it STAYS on the road, no heading for the rhubarb, this one.  And going over bumps doesn't give you sideways whiplash.

But this is what I didn't realize it had:  heated seats, heated steering wheel, back up camera, Sirius radio, blue tooth, traction support, huge back seat, and a TRUCK BOX!!!!  Oh yeah!!!!

Anyway enough of that.  I went online to get a fishing licence.  I wanted one for two days, even though I was pretty sure I was only fishing for one.  Well holy shit!!!!  It was like trying to get into Fort Knox.

First I had to create an account.  Name, address, height, eye colour, weight blah blah blah.  Then through a confusing, to me anyway, bunch of choices and addons I finally got a one day licence. There was just no way of easily adding on another day.  Today, after getting Gladys, we went to Fish On, a fishing gear store who sells licences, and Monte went in to get his.  I settled in for a decently long wait, knowing what all he had to do to get one.  Three minutes later he came out...with a licence!  What!!!????  How did they do it so fast?  Jeez!  I should have just gone and done it there.

Anywhoo.....Just spent a wonderful evening with Jen and family.  It was great!  I made her her special rib dinner and we sat out on the deck and caught up on all the newsies and had some good laughs.  I think this camping trip is going to be a hoot.  I sure hope it doesn't actually rain.  I don't mind it being cloudy but I don't like the rain.  Or hail.  Or wind.  Or freezing cold temps!!!!

Anyway I am off to bed.  Its super late and its past bedtime.  TTY on wed the fifteenth!
