newton's the goats journal

[newton the goat]

So after some thought and planning i thought i would ask if everybody is good for me to start in September? I have notified my boss earlier this year that things at home have been slightly problematic so i will be moving in the new year. Thankfully she understands and is encouraging me to continue in the cooking buisness. My ending date will be septemeber 1st, so i was thinking of leaving the second or the third and using the first to pack up some of my room so it isnt as bad when i get back. I will be taking my car into the mechanics in the next few weeks to get a complete check up to make sure there wont be any outstanding issues for the trip. So dates i guess are the next big discussion. There is so much planning and ive never been goodat planning but im reay excited for this so i am doing my best!

Btw i have decided on names for josie's twins. The boy honestly looks like a donkey as in unlike most katadhin lambs his hair is straight not wavy esspecially on his face where is sticks straight out like it would on a donkey with a thick winter coat so i have decided to name him donkey and his sister fiona she is a darling but he is an over dramatic drama queen.im aiming to have him learn his name so then i can have a laugh calling ou his name and having him respond like in the movie shrek it has me cracking up just thinkin about it.

Make a list of what you need to do for your trip. Maybe we can help you think of things for it.
#1. Tires, you need good/new tires and a good spare
2. Oil change and check all fluids before you leave
3. Pack clothes for all seasons, you are gonna be gone for awhile
4. Cell phone-will yours work in the US or do you need a new one for travels?[/QUOTE]

My phone plan will work as long as i add on a usa data plan for a few months.
And im bringing a suitcase and some sweaters and jackets since the plan starts in fall.
My car is going in to be serviced and fully looked over as soon as i have a bit more of a cushion of cash and can afford it.
And i deffinitly need a new spare tire as mine has a mysterious leak somewhere lol. I also need a jack in my car for just incase with the whole tire thing.

OK if you are starting in September you need to start north! The southerners will just have to wait.

How is little Sarge?

Sarge is doing well. Growing fast and seems to have forgotten how to be friendly as he no longer comes near me anymore ive been replaced by his mom!

You have to let them go some time Newton. Besides I will bet lunch (*) that you would rather he suck milk from his Mom than try to get it directly from you! Too bad he isn't friendly anymore though.

* of course when you come stay here you'll get lunch anyway.

That is very true. I would rather not have a bottle baby but he used to greet me when i walked in the door. Now not so much butyou are right on the fact that some need to be let go lol. And i will deffinitly take you up on that offer. And you are in vermont england right? Since you said that you are close to the culinary institute? If so i may need to save up a but more before that leg of my journey since i likely qont be able to drive there sadly i hadto get ride of my boat car since i moved into the mainland so driving the seas may prove a bit difficult

How long do you envision the trip being?

 

[Bruce]

And you are in vermont england right?

No, no. Vermont is in NEW England. I am 80 miles/130 km south of Montreal. 455 miles/730 km from you. @Sheepshape is on the other side of the pond.

Sounds like you have an amazing itinerary starting to unravel. Go ahead with it....the chance of a lifetime, and you'll have memories to last you for a lifetime.

Just wondering whether New England is like Old England....wet, grey etc. (Living in Wales I can say that......Wales is, well, wetter, muddier......).

So, assuming you stay on the other side of the world, do you plan to take a full year out? Sounds as though you will need it......but it would be time very well spent and will really open up your horizons.
