T-4: Lisa's Last Day in the Office

Packed Up, Cleaned Up, Cleared Out!

Lisa's Office, Neat & Clean

It's hard to believe but today was my very last day in the office before we take off on our Great Alaska Adventure.

 I've finished up just about all the work that needs to be done before I go, with only a few things outstanding to take care of this week from the house.

 The fridge is empty and defrosted, and the extra food and drinks packaged up and carried home.  The phone is on "do not disturb," and the table in the corner (which you can't see), is empty and ready for use.

 My corner work area (above) is tucked out of the way, well in the corner.

 The desk is clean and clear and all papers and miscellaneous pens, pencils, paperclips, batteries, jump drives, etc. are tidied up and put away.

 The plan, I hear, is to turn my office into a workroom for auditors and a supplemental conference room. Fine with me.

 As long, that is, as everyone behaves.  Which I'm sure they will with my "Beware!" crock standing guard.  In the picture above, he's the blue guy in the left corner perched on the stack of NACHA ACH Rule books.

 I'll see him, and the rest of the PaySimple crew, again in November.

(In case you're interested, that really is 4 wheel drive, and is purported to do 0 to 60 in 4.4 seconds-- perhaps we'll find out 😄) Bob Standing with M as she waits to get new shoes. The plan is for the trip is to begin on July 28 by heading up through Wyoming and stopping for a couple of days in Butte, MT.

What a Great Ride! M Back Home in Our Garage, with Her Friend the Old Brown Audi With M back home in the garage, Bob and Lisa rested up a bit from the final days of hard driving, the mail opened, the mountains of laundry started, and a significant dent made in the unpacking, we wanted to take a moment and reflect on the totality of our Great Alaska Adventure.

Day 76: Astoria, OR to Ontario, OR

Cars, Airplanes, and Snow! Western Antique Aeroplane & Automobile Museum, Hood River, OR As we checked out of our hotel in Astoria, OR this morning we watched our last ship go by. Kaimon Galaxy: Inbound in Astoria, OR Then we hit the road, bright and early.  The drive to Ontario was about 500 miles and was supposed to take a bit over 7 hours.  If all had gone as planned, we'd have arrived around 6PM while it was still light and we had plenty of time to grab dinner and relax before our next leg tomorrow. Not long after we left Astoria, we came across this giant Weyerhauser papermill in Longview, OR. Weyerhauser Papermill in Longview, OR Here's how the rest of the trip went: You'll probably have noticed that part of the trip took place in the dark, and part of it included driving through snow.  Clearly the best laid plans can go awry, as ours did-- thanks to mother nature, arbitrary variances in time, and car museums. As we were dr...
