No Scheduled Cargo?

Of course the day is still young, but so far it looks like there isn't any scheduled cargo.  I may not have to do anything more than the regularly scheduled cleaning, packing my bags for the upcoming voyage, and finishing off my list of items that will need to be purchased while down south.
Creating the shopping list isn't as easy as it might sound.  You have one shopping experience where you need to buy a full years supply of some of the essentials that we can't get up here.  Simple things like socks and underwear.  It's not that we don't sell them, but the warehouse sends us what they send us.  If they only send XL tidy whiteys, that's all you get.  If that's not you underwear of choice, you're out of luck.  The only real benefit that we have, is that this will be our second go round.  Hopefully we will be able to learn from our mistakes.  I still have at least a years worth remaining from some of the stuff we bought last year, and some of our last year's purchases lasted 2-3 months.  When you don't write is down and do some calculations the usage amounts of some other simple items (like anti-perspirant) go way out the window.
Oh well, I'm crossing my fingers that I don't see any planes today, and maybe we won't be interrupted.  It's only minus 13 with a wind chill of -21, so maybe if we get everything done in a timely manner we'll be able to go for one last quad ride before we leave.  With it now being 47, the countdown has switched from days to hours.  Bring on the sun!

Stay tuned.
