Today’s weather was a perfect New England summer day. The temperature was in the low to mid 80s and the humidity was low. Bright sunshine was in place all day.

I got on the road for New Hampshire about 8AM this morning. I stopped on the way at Dunkin Donuts for coffee and a bagel. That was my breakfast for the road. The trip north was slow going through Worcester. An accident in the center of town had traffic crawling from the Auburn line. I still made good time overall.

When I got to the house I found the lights in the kitchen and basement on. I suspected a light or two might be on since I left when the power was out do to a thunderstorm. Turning the lights off might have been the most productive thing I did all day.  I was very stiff this morning from all the scrambling I did yesterday getting the camper leveled. That combined with my need for a plan to complete the things I need to do before heading south had me in more of a contemplation mood than a work mood.  It is clear that I have to come back north after I establish my domicile in Florida and get the camper and car registered. These need to be accomplished before the end of August or I’d have to renew them in New Hampshire for around three thousand dollars. The gotcha in all of this is the vehicles and I have to appear in Florida to make it happen.

So the bottom line is once I’ve completed my tasks in Florida, how do I get everything done in the easiest way possible.  The budget for completing these tasks is the cost of renewal at $3000 plus a few other considerations. If I need to spend more than that I might as well just renew them in NH for the little time I need. The other big down side is that without a deadline I’ll drag my feet.

I’m currently looking at where I can park the RV near an airport with reasonable air fares. When do I come back? What do I absolutely need to complete before I go south? These questions and a lot of others have bogged me down all day.

The return traffic back to the RV this afternoon wasn’t bad. I stopped at the grocery store on the way so I have supplies for the next few days. I plan to be busy. Doing exactly what remains to be determined.
