Trip

Planning the June trip. This year I will avoid any large cities "30,000" or bigger. This will make for interesting routing.

First Aide

How good is your training??

Have you even tried practicing procedures? The Empress broke her ankle at a campout. Ice ing splinting and treatment for shock. Then transport to the ER. Folks I admit I was out of practice. Now dealing with patient care and doing 100 percent of household chores instead of 70 per cent. That is a serious load increase for me. Try it in practice soon to see how many adjustments you need to need make.

Endurance

After trying to hard last summer I have spent the winter trying to recuperate. Today I timed my pain level while fixing dinner . 22 minutes and I had to lay down. That sucks. This years work is much less strenuous thank God. But may take as long because of my progressive back pain. I will have to have my left hip and knee replaced next winter so I desperately need to lose at least 60 pounds. Yay.

Antsy

About 6 more weeks until I head back to Kansas. Have to finish the inside then get water projects done. Also need to move from the old cabin to the new. I will have a bit more help this year so I may actually get something done. I got a new back brace that should help as well. Only being able to do the equivelant of a couple hours of work every other day sure does slow things down.
