Week ending 11/4: I usually do a lot of preps on the weekend and this being the change of months I have a few regular things scheduled. Instead I got to do a bug out test. I got the call from my mother around 3:00 that my grandmother was only given a few hours to live. So I ran home and we packed up and hit the road by 5 so we hit all the rush hour traffic. I added a CB radio to my truck and have a handheld as well so I was able ask a couple truck drivers if they would let me in out of the merge lane and check status of traffic ahead. We made the 250mile trip in just over 4 hours and most of the time before we left I spent finding someone to perform the server maintenance I had scheduled that weekend for me. So maybe 30 minutes to pack for unknown number of days. We stayed until Tuesday and returned home. I did manage to charge all my rechargeable batteries for my normal monthly cycle and am running my laptop backup today.
