Mid-morning, July 18, 2016.

The key turned in the ignition and the Beast eagerly rolled over, launching into a full and satisfying purr. Jim adjusted his seat and mirrors, powered up the air-conditioning and activated “Tow Haul.” 

All systems were go. He paused, ceremoniously, for the command.

After adjusting my sunglasses, I flipped up the visor and holding my gaze on the sparkling San Diego Bay.

"Engage," I said

Jim grinned, responding "Aye, Captain" and pulled the rig south onto the Silver Strand toward the city of Imperial Beach, where we caught Interstate 5 North.

Thus, the first moments of the first day of our five-year mission to explore the world of No Fake Deadlines – Jim's appellation for retirement, Airstream style – had begun at last.
