One of the positive things of all this sequester nonsense is that 2 days of my trip won't have to be vacation days! LOL!

Dang all my time is going to be vacation hours. Good thing is I earn 5 hours a week of earned time even if I am not working.

Oh ya forgot that goes into effect! I was reading about the Blue Angels they are going to have to cancel about 12 shows this year because of it. That's only the tip of the iceberg though.

Did you see the flyover at the Daytona 500??? Neither did anyone else. They cut that out and all the Air Force base air shows are cancelled. We had ours scheduled for June and it was going to be awesome. not anymore...

Yup I read today all non essential flying will be stopped. Did you see the business section they just closed the deal for a big contract for the F-35 before the budget cuts took effect this one is safe. They cannot change it because it is obligated dollars for a contract.

I am having to take off extra days because of the driving I have to do. Three extra days so a total of 8 days for me.

That would be leg one of my journey to SEFF heaven and pixe dust. I think that clown guy is getting to me with some of his mojo dust.

Our SEFF experience starts from the time we leave the driveway. We had so much fun on the drive down last year texting back and forth and calling Laine every 10 minutes it seemed.

Geeeezzzzzz, I thought we were friends. You didn't call me. LOL Bill is right. Part of the SEFF fun is the road trip down and back. Keeping track of who is where and much progress everyone is making.

Is it bad that I'm packing already???

Seriously, since I was probably going to have to take my Mustang, I wanted to do some trial fitting to make sure what I needed was going to fit.

Yep, it is.

I have started to pack my pop-up. Not a lot of stuff. Just some small odds and ends that allways seem to get left behind.

I'd start packing if it were not for the 8" of snow we just got. SEFF can't come soon enough!

Well okay maybe I do need a couple more weeks to get planes prepped and fresh batteries ordered!
