I-95 not 95 mph. I found out what a rev limiter was that day.

Lol, I knew what you meant.

@JonA_CT it's on our bucket list to do a tour up the east coast to Maine, back through NY, and down.

Hey ... Happy International Women's Day!

Okay ... while Gary applauds the advancement and equality of women ... and while Gary recognizes historically, the where and the why, there is a need to identify and recognize women's successes and potential ... he is sad that there is a need for such a day. Afterall, we are all human. In general and on a level playing field, we should be judged and rewarded or punished as humans.

Until there is no longer a need for an International Women's Day ... Go Women!

... That's different ... lol.

That's pretty much the way it was last time I did a run down that way. I can honestly say I don't miss THAT part of California much.

Unfortunately, overpopulation has significantly lowered the joys of living here. But All-in-All, Gary loves California, the pluses far exceed the negatives.

Gary's limiter on the Volvo with the top down, is when the sound of Maggie's ears and lips flapping in the wind becomes to loud to ignore.

Fortunately, Miss Maggie has smallish ears.

Don’t miss Bar Harbor and Acadia NP. It’s a haul to get up there but so worth it.

Don’t miss Bar Harbor

Looked at Bar Harbor, as I mapped it out, we'll have roughly 3000 miles in the turn. That's 10 travel days. We have a limit of 6 weeks out, so with stops along the way, Bar Harbor is about the max out

In trucking we called the Atlanta loop the Atlanta 500. Lots of yellow and red flags!
Any time we could avoid Atlanta we did!
I Got up at 5am this morning. Won't be awake much longer. Have a good night and a better tomorrow. I'm out.

For me, the don’t miss coastal Maine stops are York Beach (Nubble Light at sunrise is gorgeous), Kennebunkport (for the galleries), Portland (for the food and lighthouses), Freeport (for the LL Bean store and other outlets), Camden (for the Harbor area) and Bar Harbor (for Acadia).

ETA if you’ll have the dog with you I’ll PM you our secret dog friendly beach.

We came through last month on a Friday afternoon (2-3pm) pulling a 40' 5th wheel. I don't think my speed ever dropped below 65. Compare that to the month before when we went through on a Sunday morning, and never got over 15. Took several hours

Power went out again last night. Power company website says restored by tonight. We'll see.

My condolences.

Got candles?

Many many candles. Also a wood-burning stove. And lots of flashlights and lanterns and batteries to run them.

@limr - keep the kitties close.

They stayed so close that I swear, if they could have cut me open like a tauntaun and curled up in my steaming carcass, they totally would have.

So school opened at noon today. I was scheduled for a day of professional development with the team that is helping us replicate the student services program I am now running. The morning session was at my school and the afternoon session was at Hostos CC in the Bronx. We will reschedule the morning, but we kept the meetings with the folks at Hostos. So I got to work, was there for about an hour, then my colleague and I headed for the Bronx. Got back a little after 5:00. I grabbed my stuff, sent a few emails, and then headed out to the grocery store that has prepared food. Got some food for dinner and lunch tomorrow, and stopped at Buzz's for a quick shower.

I got back to the house around 8:45, and at the risk of jinxing myself....

And of course, by extension, so do the girls.

Oh yeah, and ps - we got 16 1/5 inches of snow yesterday in my town.
