Stuff


We've encountered a number of people in our quest to become hippie  bus folk. They would say things like, "You're crazy, Im jealous and I want to do that someday."  Well, this is our "Someday."



 So now, when someone asks me how I'm doing? And i reply "Living the dream." I actually mean it. Now we just have to make it happen. 

At this moment, we are experiencing technical difficulties with the park brake on the bus. We have a guy coming to fix it i hope. Kinda in a holding pattern.

Packing the house has been a lot of fun. So much stuff to go through. We have stuff everywhere!  We donated a lot of stuff to Good Will. Towels and blankets to the local animal shelter.

 Gave stuff away. A teenage girl and her dad came to pick up an old guitar i dont play anymore. She plays classical guitar and it was time to plug in. I was happy it going to a good home, and she was happy leaving with an imitation Strat and a pare of Hot Pink boots Jessica had.

*WE INTERRUPT THIS BLOG POST WITH IMPORTANT RV NEWS*

 Part arrived. Part installed. No red lights or blown fuses. Brake repaired. All systems go!

Storing stuff. We have a small storage spot and we have this thing packed tighter than an intense game of Tetris. You can tell Jessica played one or twice. Rather impressive. 

Throwing stuff out. Sticking to the mantra of "Fuck It", got rid of a lot of needless things.  Letting things go and not looking back.

The loading of the bus has been a task, yet fun all at the same time. Navigating the space in the bus vs. our stuff. Jessica has it down to a science. So far it's going rather well. There's more space than i first anticipated.  We still have a lot of work to do, but I'd say it's  1/3 to 1/2 packed. It's weird how empty the house is.

Now that the bus is functioning, got to get back to packing. Everything else goes to plan, we should be taking off Monday. Tuesday the latest. Here's to hoping.  Until the next post...Rock on, Kids!🤘

We're at it again

 Hi Gang,   So, I had a few people over the last week or two ask me if i was going to blog again. Life buzzed by so quick this summer and honestly, I forgot about it. . So with Too Much 👏👏Time on My Hands, i thought what the hell. Let's write.  After we got back up north, we set up camp in a really groovy place. Ill cover that in a separate post. I managed to go back to my former job cooking at a certian missile defense plant. Matt and I crossed paths like people do nowadays, and back to work i went. It just worked out for everyone involved. I was able to  make money to put gas in The 2112, and help out Matt by doing what i do. Cook. Foodservice is a hard business to keep workers, nevermind good workers.  Outside of the few people i kept in touch with,(Gonz, Sarge and Nicole) noone knew i was coming back.  I spent two solid weeks just laughing at peoples reactions to seeing me again. Hilarious! So thanks Matt for bringing me back into the fold. I rea...

We're Doing It!

 I figured it was time to start writing about what Jessica and i are about to do.  This is all going to sound crazy, and i assure you it is in some ways. But isn't  crazy at all. Its been a wacky ride to this point, and im sure there's more to come.  Start a new chapter, I find what I'm after It's changing every day The change of a season's enough of a reason To want to get away Quiet and pensive, my thoughts apprehensive The hours drift away Leaving my homeland, playing a lone hand My life begins today.  Geddy Lee/Neil.Peart For years, Jessica and I have played with the idea of buying an RV and living the RV life.  A dream we dreamed one afternoon. Long ago. It was just that. A dream.   Well, we got one this year. 35 foot Winnebago.  It's an absolute beast. I love driving it. Just a machine. We planned on doing some work to it, which we did. Redid the entire interior.  Pictures of that in future posts. Take our time, get our shit togeth...
