Subject:How I Prepare For Road Trip vs How She Prepares For Road Trip

So I'm driving my bride to the airport (240 miles,) in the morning.
I've done a ton of work on the Westy, in preparation for a much bigger
road trip in a couple of weeks, that will take me to NC, SC and
Florida, but still, lots of work, though for another intended trip. I
rebuilt the CV's, rebuilt the rear shift rod with all new
parts...boots, etc, installed a new clutch, TO Bearing, etc., new
triple nozzle windshield washers, removed, cleaned all wipers with new
hardware, new headlight relays and higher wattage headlight bulbs, put
in new MT90, oil change using synthetic oil, new led interior lighting
throughout, Mullendore 4 Pac auxiliary battery and charging system,
new air filter............get it? I'm a good boyscout, finally, after
all these years........and when I asked her, tonight, if she was
ready, she says 'yup, I'm ready,' and whips out a sign that says
'Albuquerque Airport!'

I have not failed. I've just found 10,000 ways that won't work.
