It has been difficult to establish our schedule with the uncertainty of Chi Chi and Jamie's schedule. Yesterday, Chi Chi said that they would like to be in the Valley for their friend's service and funeral on Friday and Saturday. The viewing is actually on Thursday, but Chi Chi said he wants no part of the viewing. It is enough that he has to give a speech at the service on Friday, and he doubts that he will get more than one or two minutes into the speech before he breaks down. Anyway, we have decided to stay until Sunday. We will work both Friday and Saturday which will give us a little extra money. In the meantime, we will get our normal two days off today and tomorrow which will allow us to get ready to move on Sunday.
Today we will travel to Camp Verde to set up delivery of our mail at the post office and then go to Cottonwood to the bank. Camp Verde has no Bank of America branch so banking will be done in Cottonwood. There are lots of things we need to do to get ready for travel. First of all, we will empty the freezer and get it ready for storage here at the lodge. Then we need to go through the basement area and the rest of the rig to see what things can be removed to lighten the load. That will be the tough part.
It is a shame that we can't get down to our new site and set up before Sunday since Josie starts her new job on Monday. We thought about going down on Thursday, but the commute back and forth from Camp Verde to Happy Jack is over 120 miles and we would rather save the time and gas. We had some fairly strong winds yesterday and it got pretty cold in the afternoon. We even had a few snow flurries but the wind stopped and it warmed back up again before evening. Good thing. Snow really isn't a factor here (normally) before the first of December, but we all know about the "freak" storms.
That's about it for now...
