Eight days to go. . .

Yeah, you’re right. With a bit of digging I figured it out.

The OP’s profile states his occupation as “co-pilot”. I’m going to go out on a limb and assume this means he routinely runs black ops in Colombia, smuggling cocaine into the country in order to provide an unlimited source of fuel for the U.S. drug war as part of a larger government conspiracy. You know, make a big show of destroying coca crops by day, while the OP and his co-conspirators fly in bricks of lab-processed coke by night.

The OP has decided this just isn’t the life for him, and wants to turn a new leaf whereby he will serve as head of a fine art museum in Finland. A quiet, uncomplicated life in his charming Finnish cottage where he will happily live out the rest of his days. Or so he thinks. But wait! Some of the drug-lord enemies he made during his missions in black ops have tracked him down, and forced him to make a hasty departure to Cairo where he plans to sell jewelery from a street caravan until things die down.

To adapt to this new life as a street vendor he has had to make some adjustments, like learning to whittle and wearing a fez hat. Also he was considering purchasing a monkey to keep on his shoulder, but nixed that idea after reading about this.

I can’t believe you figured it out!
Damn you, Rigmarole!

I am actually giving up my job and apartment to travel around the country while I finish up my degree.
I am taking my big gay boyfriend and a '77 Lincoln Continental.

Good luck with that Lincoln. I’ve owned three. Turds every one of them.

We figure we can get another 100,000 miles out of her if we treat her right. What years were yours?

May I ask, what kind of degree are you getting that permits you to travel the country, while you ‘finish it up’?

Aside from that curiosity, it sounds a wonderful plan, hope you have a fabulous road trip. I radically changed my life on a couple of occasions and it turns out they’re right when they say, “Ever notice that, “What the Hell!”, is always the right choice?”
