Welcome back, Sweet Marie!!!!!!! You just saved me a whole lot of domestic discord here. At the crack of dawn, three days ago, Rita caught me loading my pack on the kitchen table, stuffing it full of food and "secret" gear. "Mister?! where the hell are you going?" "Baby, Marie and Ed just need a friend right now. it's only 40 or 50 miles, and weather permitting, I'll be back in 10 days. Just lemme go do what I gotta do. " She looked at the floor for a minute, then looked up into my eyes, her eyes filled with tears of pity, and said, "go, do what you must do, I understand, but why not take your truck and be back this afternoon? Maybe I could come too...." "Sshhh, honey, that might seem like a great idea at first, but trust me, it's better and safer my way, and cheaper, too. Just think.........

Thanks to all, I am sorry I did not reply to this post earlier, it just seemed so many family members needed more attention than me being back. Thank you all for helping me through another rough spot in life.
Like I said, be careful what you wish for!! Love you guys.>>Believe51
