Halfway to Everywhere.

 Two days of travel. What fun has it been? A bunch. Really!  Jessica has caught me randomly grinning while driving. "Whatcha smiling about over there?"  

I catch myself thinking that i am really in this bus, driving to a new home and job. I just laugh because i still can't believe it. When my former boss interviewed me, he asked me where i saw myself in 5 years. I laughed and  answered on a beach, under a palm tree in Hawaii. Well, its not Hawaii,  but i still get my beach and palm trees. 

Day one was full of excitement and anxiety.  We got up early and finished packing up the last few things. Got Simon 🐕 and Poe Poe 🐈 in the bus and off we went. Jessica and I just looking at each other with this, how do i put it, OMG! What the fuck are we doing?  look and just smiled. The animals are all fucked up. Poor Poe has been under the couch most of the time. Pissed off that she has a harness on and can't  go outside. Simon is just a pill. He whines and bitches now and then, but they are ok.  Shitty day weather wise. Rained all day. Made driving a whole new barrel of monkey.  Got to the RV park in Pennsylvania and stayed the night. Nice little place. Somewhere on the edge of Amish country. Jessicas BFF Kris came to see us and brought us food. Thanks Kris! They haven't seen each other in a long time. So it was a nice visit. Wish it could have been longer.

 Day two was a better day for weather. Started out raining, but cleared up somewhere around West Virginia.  Pretty uneventful drive.   Some traffic. Some road construction 🚧 which was interesting to say the least. Stayed on route 81 all day.  

We are now at Max Meadows RV park in Fort Chiswell Virginia for the night. A cool place.  We are actually in a meadow with nothing but cows on all sides. They have been mooing full volume most of the evening, which is pretty neat. 

Two days down, two days to go. We are crashing at an old friends in South Carolina tomorrow. Then the home stretch Friday.

Good night everybody.  Im gonna head out to smoke and talk to the cows. 🐄  MOOOO!

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 IN...

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...
