Standing By to Stand By

I've made at least five different lists of items I need to load in our car.  I bet about half way to the Gulf I'll slap my forehead, sure to have forgotten, something.

Our vacation begins tomorrow. A week of rest and good food and books await. I might even wet a line. Then again why let a little fish interrupt a nice nap.





Now if you'll excuse me I have gear to load.

      I will try. Thunderstorms on the Gulf make for fine naps.

    By all means bring your fishing gear. Just don't use hooks or bait. Throw in the line and sit back and enjoy the solitude. No one will bother you because your "fishing". BTW, never confuse fishing with catching. I rank among the greatest fishermen in the world. As a catcherman, not so much.

    What Dick said. :)

    Drive safe/stay safe/come back home safe. And may God watch over you, and keep you.

    One advantage of being a (ex) roadwarrior is having the packing thing down cold.
