Transpass, transfer money so I have enough cash for the Atlanta trip, and figure out my new

budget due to financial changes that await in approximately 11 days. Again my trouble getting up but
Boarding the Trolley
I got up at 8:00 AM. I'm 20 minutes late to work and I have a whole mess of people scheduled for today I'm going to guesstimate that

Weather day wasn't here nearly as fast as I thought people
The EL at 56 Street

OCF at 9am
When I woke up this morning fairly well rested. I was picked up by Drew in front of the clubhouse after
Cleaning Out Salon
I got coffee @ the OCF coffeehouse. After you pick me up, we went down to Sharon's place and I got
Self storage 
the keys for the storage unit and the ultra shop. Remove two big pieces and a couple little pieces down
Drivin in South Philly
to the self storage unit and made one trip and flew the coop from there. From there we went to Modell's and
Cops who Text
I got shoe deodorizer and an umbrella and Drew got two sets of sneakers. The cashier was pretty sweet

too. We are now going towards the tall ships from Drew's house. We hope to catch a cab. that far but
South Philly

enter through the Spruce. We got in with no problem and I truck the woman 5 bucks from my extra ticket that I had. I had since Sharon was unable to join us this afternoon. After about an hour and a half we did get on the US Coast Guard eagle is pretty cool. We the sailors were pretty cool and this is a training ship and they really know what they were talking about
that's for sure. We also saw a French tall ship that was rebuilt back in 1997 and it's sailing around the world for the

1st time. We also went to a ship that was called the tree of life. It was named after some body's daughter.

the bullshit quote and then we walked over to play for Drew really like called Karma. It's an Indian

dinner. That was pretty quiet since my phone ran out of batteries towards the end of the tall ships
