Bezabor: Another day of prep for vacation. We had cleared most of the van's contents out so we could give it a good cleaning and re-stow everything (and re-familiarize ourselves with where everything is!). We've taken time to make some small improvements-- the kind of thing you think about while on vacation but then forget about after arriving home. Things like positioning the seatbelt fairleads at a more comfortable angle for travel or disabling the door-switches so the interior lights stay off when we leave the doors open to catch a breeze on a hot day. We're also trying to be sure we aren't setting ourselves up for injuries from flying gear hitting us from behind if we happen to get into an accident with the van. I also spent a few hours in town chasing supplies and since it was a nice evening, I mowed the lawn-- well, most of it anyway--- I ran out of gas and it since it was getting dark, I gave it up for the day. I'm bushed. This retirement stuff is turning out to be a lot of work!
The Bezabor Log
"The Bezabor Log" is my online diary since retiring in September 2005. My blogging name,'Bezabor', is an archaic term used mostly by canallers in the 1800's and early 1900's. It refers to a rascally, stubborn old mule. In the Log, I refer to my wife as 'Labashi', a name she made up as a little girl. She had decided if ever she had a puppy, she'd call it 'McCulla' or 'Labashi'. I'm not sure how to spell the former so Labashi it is. Emails welcome at bezabor(at)gmail.com.
