UPDATE ON MY CALIFORNIA RETURN


First and most important, I hope you’re all well and healthy and surviving the stay at home order without losing your mind.

It was my plan to head back to SoCal in mid to late May, but I see no way that can happen. First, I’m not willing to travel until the virus is so under control that there is little to no chance of infection and everything is opened up, and then there’s the coach: It is already past the service date and the closest place to have it done (Rush Truck Center) is 35 to 40 miles away. Again, until this is well and truly under control, I’m not even willing to take an Uber ride for a quarter of a mile, much less 35 or 40! Nor am I willing to risk going on the road when it is past its service date.

My hope now is to leave mid to late summer. If not, late fall / early winter. If the latter occurs maybe I can squeeze in a vacation in summer to Michigan and Wisconsin.

I guess I’m stuck experiencing the awful heat and humidity of the Houston area – something I hoped to avoid for as long as possible!

Other than going to the market and picking up takeout food for lunch, spending an hour or so on the pool deck and occasionally taking a scooter ride around the Strand, I am in the same boat as you: locked in my place under a stay home order. I have little to no work and man it gets boring.
