Tonight is the last time I'll be updating you all from the relative comfort of my South Bend, IN apartment. The second to last of the 'land lubber creature comforts' is on the gallows. My cable and cable internet is cancelled as of today. It is still working at 8:00 pm. From now on, I'll be updating from coffeeshops, libraries, marinas and wherever else I can find some wifi.
I will have Netflix for about three more weeks. I went to cancel my XM radio and they gave me three months free. So I put it on my calendar to cancel in mid-June. :o)
I live downtown, my sister lives in the suburbs of Grand Rapids, MI. I will probably have a 'garage sale' up there; better traffic.
I scheduled with the marina to test the diesel the week of 4/16. I probably won't re-winterize it then. That'll save $100 or so.
This Saturday night, a bunch of work folk are having a Bon Voyage Party for me at the venerable Midway Tavern, Mishawaka, IN. A blues mecca for 100 miles radius. Junior and the Igniters are playing; rockabilly roots rock and blues. They are great!! Also, this weekend, my last pledge drive with the local radio station. I'll be answering phones most the rest of the weekend.
If all goes according to plan, I'll be in Bay City next to s/v In A Mist the week of 4/16.
First List:
