Obstacles are falling. The toilet has arrived, AND I found an old fuse block in a parts stash I *could* use it until I get the nicer/larger one that’s still backordered. At this point, I don’t think there’s anything that would stop me from hitting the road and working on the go. If I neededContinue reading “Prerogative”

Today I got the shipping notice for the Nature’s Head toilet. When I placed my order, the site said there was an 8 week backlog, and this places it right at 9 weeks. Excellent. I also have a little more confidence that the other items on backorder are at least in the queue, after touchingContinue reading “Sewage”

I’d love to be making more progress. I have orders for equipment on backorder, and I have to assume that COVID is partially to blame. Who knows what havok travel restrictions are playing with global supply and trade. I *assume* some of the things I’m waiting on aren’t produced here in the USA. Shocking, IContinue reading “Anticipation”

I sent my annual tithe to Dassault Systemes so this husk of a fellow can continue building a superb 3-D representation of my humble abode. In general, I lament the fact that we no longer own the software we exchange wealth for, but I cannot say that this particular arrangement isn’t weighted spectacularly in myContinue reading “Subscription”

I continue to seek my people, my group,Continue reading “Losing faith”

This will be my half-century trip, and what a trip it’s been. I’ll hope that 2021 is kinder and gentler, but it feels silly to get my hopes up. I wish I felt more ready … for everything.

Today I frosted the rear windows. I’m not satisfied. Even applying it inside and out (where I suspect it’s not going to last), it’s not opaque enough. It’ll do for now. Hmmm …

I play the daily, daily. Some days are better than others. That’s a metaphor for life, friends.

The Maxxfan is in. Admire my work. Ignore the ugly patch monstrosity near the front.

Well, I believe a paint job and a new channel were just … necessities. And that’s what happened this weekend. Actual pictures? Pfft … yes, I need to hone my operations. I don’t mean to be glib. The priorities are remaining as secure as possible while downsizing, and getting things lined up for success …Continue reading “Priorities.”
