I am finally free to go.

Still, I think I will wait for the sun to go down.  Might as well, late as it already is.  I kept checking for the package, until I finally just gave up.  Sam wanted out though, a bit ago, and there it was.  The 10'x20' ground cloth also arrived and is with the tent, extra stakes, mobile shower, and the rest of that sort of thing.

I finished rinsing dishes.  As I was collecting the last, looks like about five items to wash, I decided to take care of cans.  I got most of them managed, then sat to check out how to manage the dry ice.  I got lost in that and am finally going to take care of the last can, then collect the rest of the dishes and put them in the tub that I have been using in the shower/regular tub, but get a shower in first, then set those last items to soak in sudsy water.  In that water I will wash the cast iron grill, removing the rust inhibitor.  That I will coat in lard, sometime after returning, to cure.  After it is set, I may do my first meat on the thing.  Hamburgers and chicken drumsticks, I believe tonight, a brisket tomorrow or the next day, then a steak sometime soon.

Yeah, something like that.  Hmm... What all in town again?  I need to take the grate back.  I need to measure for the lower grate first.  At least I know the other size grill they have in town, at least at that store... 17".  I will be buying meats for the trip, and a bit for trial on the grill, milk, and looking for dry ice.  Oh, and I also have to take the water filter in for exchange. Ah, I did find a video regarding dry ice that seemed more reasonable that a bunch of people guessing or just saying what they did. And, yeah, it makes more sense and directs how I will be trying and actually doing things.

I suppose, after the shower, I could attempt to remove the front tire from the bike.  I won't be driving in with that today, I just don't want to mess with it.  But with the tire off I will have an easier time trying to talk myself into messing with it the next time I am in town.  Unfortunately, there is no way for the bike, or rack, to lock down.  Meaning I will have to watch it all closely when going into a station, and probably taking the bike with me when checking into my hotel on the way.  While not a huge economic loss, though there is that too, it would be the complexity and expense of buying another bike, if possible, on the way.  Sometimes it just doesn't work out and I don't want to be there bikeless.

All that, assuming I can drag myself off my butt.  That has been and remains a bit tricky today.  The weather channel says it is 90, what is supposed to be today's high.  I ought to check my own thermometer.  Still, 90?  And that is the best temp it will be for a while?  Bleh.  Later.
