I basically have three four-hour days this week — Monday we’re getting our Maine driver’s licenses (goodness knows how long that will take), and Thursday I’m going to Massachusetts to collect my Dad’s van on “permanent loan.”
VERY soon then we’ll have (a) two vehicles, and (b) a camper set up on site, which will VASTLY increase the amount we can do in a day.
