GETTING READY




Last  year we spent a few days in Swansboro, North Carolina with Maggie's cousin Graydon and Melba. They invited the whole Boscoe clan back to their fabulous home on Emerald Isle this summer. We will all be there from May 25th to June 1st.  This blog is dedicated to how Venus and I will get there and back.

We'll drive, yep both ways and Venus will fly along the way, no, not behind my car but on her tethered harness. Flying shots will be available as I get more proficient with blogging.

And if I hadn't mentioned it, we will be letterboxing. If you aren't a letterboxer, read about it on Atlasquest.com. So I am busily preparing to leave Orinda around May 10th, bird in hand without my lovely mate, Maggie who is threatening to go to Vegas for a weekend to celebrate my departure.

Right now I'm collecting all the stuff I need to make the trip successful such as having a poop shroud made for my truck. If it interests you I'll be driving an '04 Nissan Titan PU . Its good for sleeping and has a huge back seat for coolers and bird cages. Venus will ride on the top of the front seat, thus I need a poop shroud. Poop shrouds aren't sold in stores or even on line. The only shrouds I could find reference to  on the web was the Shroud of Turin, so  my shroud shall henceforth be called the Shroud of  Turdin.  There will three of them and if I see the image of the Messiah in the streaks I'll promptly notify the Vatican and nominate Venus for canonization.

I bought a new really cheap HP1000 printer, only for sale on the web for $35. It only prints black ink,doesn't use much power and can be plugged into the lighter socket in the car to print letter boxing clues
