Time to hit the Road

I spent today packing up and getting things ready for take off tomorrow. Got the rear shocks replaced on the car. And you know what I am tired of? This conversation:

"Hi, I'd like to get the rear shocks replaced on my car. Or maybe struts..."
"Well which is it? Shocks or Struts?"
(Well one of us is a professional auto mechanic... perhaps he should answer that question.)

On a packing note, how many T shirts does one need for two months? I started out culling the herd pretty sharply, but then I found that I still had packed 7 cotton T shirts and 15 synthetic. Total overkill. Now I am down to 5 and 10 but I sure it is still too much. Ah well at least I will not be carrying the results of this decision on my back.
