Counting the Days / Making a List

In just 19 short days, we'll be picking up our truck, and we are really starting to get excited about the whole prospect of finally getting started. We should be able to pick up the truck in Akron on Aug. 5th. Then home for the weekend, to pack most of our things, and install some of our electronic gadgets.

We been spending some of our time recently making a list of things that we think we'll probably want to bring with us. It's time consuming, and frankly a little scary, but like someone pointed out, you're never far from a Wal-Mart. So, if we do forget something, we should be able to stop and pick it up.

So far, our list includes:

• Bibles
• Clothes (enough for about a week or so)
• Sweatshirts, and possibly a coat (it can get cold at nights, depending on where we are)
• Pillows, blankets and quilts
• Tools (Bringing some of mine, and some of my Dad's)
• CDLs, Passports and Medical Cards (and any other required paperwork)
• GPS
• Laptop
• Xoom tablet
• Printer / scanner
• Phones / hands-free headsets
• Chargers / mounting stands to all above mentioned electronic devices. (Not much good if it don't run!)
• Various pens, pencils, paper and other office supplies
• Road Atlas / Maps
• Camera / lenses / camera charger / usb card reader
• Trash can
• Trash bags
• Cleaning supplies (Armor All, Windex, Water Bucket, Rags, Towels)
• Steel Toed Boots
• Safety equipment (Safety glasses, hardhat, reflective vest, gloves, first-aide kit)
• Flashlights and spare batteries
• Food and water (Don't know what yet, have to wait to see how big the fridge in the truck is)
• Porta-potti (I think, although I've been told you wouldn't want to be on the road without one)
• Sunglasses
• Earplugs
• Duct Tape!
• Sense of Humor!
• Sense of Adventure!

Still trying to figure out where all of this stuff is going to fit! I sure it will be much easier when we finally get the truck!
