Getting Excited

Getting the Element build out finished. Planning on what i need to take. Will make an appointment for the mechanics to get the E a once over and fluids changed. Here is the list I came up with.

Inspection
Oil Change
Transmission Fluid
Differential Fluid
Check Coolant and Washer fluid
Rotate Tires

Install Hidden Hitch
Buy Hitch mounted Cargo Carrier
License Plate Mount with Light. If getting a cargo carrier it will cover my plate.
(I want the Swing Away For the Cargo Carrier but it is $270 clams! I have to see what the weight of it is. There is a cheaper one but from what I have read they bend almost immediatly.  Can my Credit Card handle another purchase? )

Heading West

 Finally I was able to leave.     The 8 weeks of what I thought of at the time as "the moving and  storage fiasco," were actually a blessing in disguise. I was angry and disappointed that no one helped me pack and move my things to storage, after all I weigh only 104 pounds, yet when all was said and done, I grew  huge muscles.  I grew confidence on top of the confidence I already had. I grew independence on top of the independence I already had. All to prepare me for my future.  I piled more than I needed in the Tardis and made a mad 3 hour dash south, from New England to my sister's for a few days of rest. We spread our other sister's ashes in our home town and all I could think of was.... Colorado. Tall mountains. Hot springs. Healing.

He asked if I was alright

A New Beginning

Everything is finally coming together and I am almost ready for the expedition to begin.  I am getting all my ducks in a row and I will be packing the Element tomorrow. We had wind and big thunderstorms this afternoon and then rain throughout the evening. It put a damper on loading up today. I have a few details to take care tomorrow and packing and securing everything for the highway will take some time. I am exhausted beyond words. I can't wait to spend the night in the Element! I have work to do getting this blog together and videos to edit. Now I will have time to write. I can be a nomad, live the gypsy life that is in my blood. I can explore and have adventures. Finally! I am done with the house and packing. Done with that life that I didn't want anymore. Done with all that was so physically, mentally and emotionally hard. Done with being involved with people. Done with the frustrating crazy making. I am free. I can see my son soon. I love thinking of the Element.
