sigh. I’ve been home for two weeks. Dispatch emailed me this morning to ask if I was ready to leave yet. Despite my desire to just stay home I do need to earn a living so I told them yes.
I have to pick up a couple of forklifts in Jacksonville tomorrow and take them up to the Chicago area.
If it weren’t for the need to eat and a roof over my head I’d be all set 
Back to the old grind tomorrow.
Have a safe trip Mason!!! 
Have a safe trip and don’t forget your knitting! 
Never!
Hope you have a safe trip!
How long will you be gone this go-round?
Have a safe trip and be careful out there.
I am in the same boat Mason. If it weren’t for those dang bills I would be happy to live a life of (pretty much) solitude. I like spending time with family and a few good friends but that is it - and I usually get sick of them after an hour! (Don’t get me wrong, I love my family and friends to pieces!)
Don’t be a stranger… and maybe you can check out that yarn store in Jacksonville that someone here was talkin bout…
I wish I could but by the time I get loaded tomorrow I’ll have to haul donkey to make Chicago Friday morning.
Be safe in your travels…and don’t forget to take some cheap needles and yarn for the next few people that approach you in bars to ask about knitting so you don’t mess up your sweater or other projects… 
Happy trails to you, until we meet again! Wave “hi” when you get to the corner of I95 and I16. I am from Chicago and it is still my fav place so wave to the beautiful lake for me. Here’s a link to a knitting shop in Chi town:
They opened after I moved so I was never there but it looks fabulous.
And here are two of my fav restaurants there:

Have a safe trip! Hopefully you can find some LYS in Chicago :happydance:
Looks like you’re in for some good weather, enjoy your trip!
Know the best part? Your Mom is doing well enough for you to take off. That’s wonderful!
Stay safe!
Have a safe trip. Hope you get some knitting time.
Wave to me as you go through Orange Park, just south of Jax!
