Well I got the call that I've been dreading for a long time, from my mother. My dad who has been not doing well with his health and is in really bad shape. She said she thought I ought to know and might want to see him in case things get worse quickly. My mom makes light of everything, so to hear the concern in her voice and the faint cry, destroyed me. I have been speaking with my brother about how crappy my dad has been but now him being really bad is not what any son wants to hear.
I'm hoping to leave on Wednesday Night, right after rush hour traffic, maybe 6-7pm. I need to get my affairs in order first before we leave. IDK if I will be there for 10 days, a month, or longer. We were going to visit them around the end of January but they said don't come down because COVID is out of control here. We were planning on going down there right after Easter. Shoot, life never goes as planned. So Off to the Tampa Bay area. Its like 1350 miles one way from LI NY.
I will be going with my wife and our 3 Chihuahuas. It will be an adventure for sure. I always bring extra stuff as I aways want to be prepared for any and everything. I need to get those cleats for tie downs for the bed installed. I ordered a Dog hammock for the truck for travel. I need to buy some toats for storage and we are packing our suitcases for an extended visit. I'm so not prepared for this epic journey right now. I'm absolutley frazzeled.
Danny aka PapaRaptor and I have been emailing each other lately and he quit drinking for a while now, and tried to get me to quit. So Ash Wednesday I stopped. Its been 12 days as of yesterday and sadly hearing the faint cry of my mother and my brother crying on the phone pushed me to making a drink tonight. I was being tested and failed. I need to try to unwind.
So i will be making my way to Florida and now putting a nice amount of miles on my BEAST. I have 781 miles now since I did not want to get all the salt from the many snow storms we have had lately. I was getting that Carli Pintop 2.5 suspension and was not going to put any miles until its installed. But now I will be able to give a true review of the stock Tremor suspension and the Carli Pintop suspension. I do have a Platinum F350 TREMOR for this Journey. I just wish it was better circumstances.
Please include my dad and our family in your prayers. I will add him to the prayer thread when I'm down there and see exactly what is up. I do ask all of you to call your mom and dad if they are still alive and tell them how much you love them. Things always seem to come about when you least expect them.
