Happiness is a motor that starts on the first try.

Got everything back together, put oil and water in it, and fired it up. Started right on the first bump; I don't think the starter even made a full revolution before it kicked off. I think it's eager to get started on the trip. 

A few more odds and ends to button up (as well as a quick trip to NYC tomorrow; back Saturday), and we'll be ready to go. I was shooting for a Monday departure, but I'm thinking it'll probably be more like Wednesday if all goes well. I have some 'life' stuff to take care of as well (like mail forwarding and whatnot), so that'll probably need a weekday or two to wrap up.
