Off to Montana!!! IKEA, COSTCO AND BURGER KING?!?!


Hal's friend is going to be unable to go with him to Montana to pick up the drift boat and since we're not sure Hal will get across he needed someone to go with him who could.

The other kicker was the pick up date. We got an email saying that it couldn't be picked up on the original date but three days or four days later so that really threw a screw into things.

I asked and got the time off work so Hal and I can get down and pick up the boat. **Thanks Pauline!**
We have to leave right at 12:30 on Wednesday to make it there in time for to pick up the boat on Thursday. 20+ hours in a vehicle to get there in time!! Thank goodness we can two days getting home.

I'm sure once we're fishing the river it will be well worth it.

I'm still laughing at Hal and his route planning....he says "Well does your map planner thingy tell you where the Burger Kings are on the way??? I started to laugh!! Told him he can have his Burger King but we're stopping in Calgary for Red Lobster and if he's stopping at BK's all the way then he's got to stop at Ikea and Costco for moi! We won't be buying anything but it's just nice to get lost in dreamland and to get some fresh ideas. It's going to be a whole lotta pavement, sore butts, car naps and heated discussions on what we're NOT going to listen to, lol.

Wild Montana Skies by the great John Denver
(chorus only)

Oh Montana, give this child a home
Give him the love of a good family and a woman of his own
Give him a fire in his heart, give him a light in his eyes
Give him the wild wind for a brother and the wild Montana skies
