As Tina finishes her work getting her things ready she hums and occasionally breaks out singing
[center][color=ff66ff] " And daddy won't you take me back to Muhlenberg County
Down by the Green River where Paradise lay
Well, I'm sorry my son, but you're too late in asking
Mister Peabody's coal train has hauled it away" [/color][/center]

Who knows why she sings as the world around her is turned upside down, maybe it helps her forget or perhaps she just sings to keep her mind focused in the end it is a question no one's ever asked her.

She finishes then sets the shop alarms and makes sure her truck an trailer are secure before she heads up to the former shop office that she converted into a studio apartment an grabs a good hot shower.

Then once she's done she lingers in the room thinking this might be her last real shower for some time to come. 

She does a last search of all her possessions and laments briefly over how much she must abandon

~I wonder did Louise Dryer feel the same when she had to abandon her home just ahead of Sherman's wolves?~

She collects her rucksack filled with a few memories and two boxes of 3" 12 gage magnums. Just before she opens the door to the stairs she checks the browning's bolt and safety assuring herself it's cooked an the safety is disengaged.

She calls out

[color=ff66ff]"OLD MAN THA SHOWER'S CLEAR LAST CHANCE FOR I'M HEADING FER HIGH GROUND IN 20 MINUTES!"[/color]

That said she climbs into the Beast and does a run down flipping on the Banks Power iQ 2.0 Flash performance computer checking the electronics of her vehicle and setting it for off road hauling to be sure she's ready for whatever she might encounter outside her gates. Then satisfied with the reading she cranks the Beast which roars to life coughing out a small blast of smoke from it's pipes.

Tina hops out and disconnects the on board battery charger an taps the external power meter checking the 5 Trojan 12-AGM Marine batteries in an under bed box which she herself installed so that she had power where ever she went. Then closing the inspection hatch she does a walk around from tail to nose.
