Done with that; on to new things

OK, I got the post about last week's trip written and illustrated. All that was posted Sunday morning.

Now I can get back to day-to-day stuff.

First, a few new developments about the proposed trip to FreedomFest with Sheryl and Trisha.

During our drive to Marquette on Thursday, I talked to Janet about it, and she said she doesn't necessarily have to visit her sisters over the Fourth of July. It can be a different week. As long I drive her there and back, she'll be content.

That sounds like a deal to me. It would eliminate a lot of extra driving and several criss-crosses of Wisconsin.

Having Sheryl and Trisha go part of the way and staying with Annie apparently is a no-go. There has been a bit of a falling out between Sheryl and her, so she doesn't think they could stay with her in Wautoma. That won't be necessary, anyway, if I don't have to drop off Janet in Ladysmith.

As for the cargo space problem, Janet suggested that I rent a minivan in Oshkosh and leave my car behind there. That idea has pluses and minuses. On one hand, I can take everything we need, no problem. On the other, that's extra expense (daily rental fee plus mileage for a 260-mile round trip) I don't want to pay. Besides that, my own car, which is thriftier and which I am more used to, has to be left behind.

Of course, we could also get a different car. I am trying to get Janet in close proximity to a Honda Fit. They have a blue one in Ashland, WI, and that's the color I'm hoping to get. That's a new one, and I'm hoping to avoid new if I can. Still, if she sits in a Fit again and goes for a ride in it, it won't be a hard sell.

Time, as they say, will tell.

Meanwhile, it's Monday, and the computer guy is in close proximity. That's good; I need to talk to him.

Last week, David gave me his desktop computer unit. It won't run. It seems inert, except for a flashing green light in back, and I suspect the power supply has gone on it. A simple repair, but I don't know to do that. He does.

Very nice weather is on tap for this week. Highs in the mid 70s and mostly sunny. I have two regional track tournaments late in the week, though I don't know if I will be able to get to both of them. Tuesday, another track meet with both local teams. Wednesday, drive to IM again and ride with my mom to the doctor. Sounds like I'm going to be putting a few miles on again this week.
