Had the truck checked over and good to go . . needed new shocks   The trailer has also been checked  and brakes adjusted . . we should notice a difference apparently.  Interesting . . because we didn't realize there was a problem.  

Frank's out buying snow chains today.   No . . we have absolutely no intention of using them but we need to be legal crossing some of the mountain passes on the way down and in the event we get caught in adverse weather we will have them on hand.  Can't even imagine putting the chains on while connected to our 30' fifth wheel. Ugh!!

Anyway, the time is fast approaching; we've renewed our passports and received them; we're having our wills redone next week (reality, you know!) and soon we'll be starting to pack the trailer. Wow, hard to believe only five weeks to departure!
