Tomorrow I set out for Colorado in the Rav4 carrying canned goods, some electronics, my tea ware, garden chemicals and a red gas can. This is all stuff we don’t want the movers to handle or that they won’t. I’ll also have enough to set up minimal housekeeping: air mattress, sleeping bag, towels, table, chair, pot and pan, tea kettle.

There will be, too, recorded books, bottled water (the only time I use it), carrots, grapes, cheese curds and salmon nuggets.

All of these items are incidental of course to the POA that I’ll carry, the original (actually the third original, but the original liked best by those who will close this deal). I have appointments now with two fence contractors, one on Saturday and one on Tuesday. The dryer comes on Tuesday, but so far no mention of the washer we bought at the same time.

This will be an ascetic experience with little in the way of electronic distractions. Just fine for a few days.
