Booooo. Was looking forward to seeing you there.

Thanks for the info. I kinda just threw my stuff in and hit the road, no room for a couch for sure, but wish I'd made my bunk more of futon situation. Haha I can sit up and lean back on my pillow & warm weather bag though. I'm thinking of making some kind of window inserts for insulation. I...

Ogles annoy me when directed at my beard. It's like, my eyes are up here dude.

I usually just throw my raincoat on top of my regular layers as a windbreaker in hella windy making me cold situations. Don't know what to suggest for the legs tho. As long as my toes, spine, and head are warm, I'm okay being outside. (Message sent from inside my warm-ish van)

It's started. I have that xmas eve feeling I used to get as a kid. Can't wait to see friends and meet new folks! Barring the universe taking a right turn, I'll be showing up with my caravan/road dawg friend.

It will be in January I believe. Don't know the exact when or the exact location. I'm pretty much relying on talking to other rubbertramps as I make my way west. Lol

I've seen similar NAVADMINs for mobilization to assist civilian authorities. I'm not gonna look it up, but kinda reminds me of maybe post-Katrina?

I only play with low voltage stuff. Sorry!

I'm in!

The room sounds like when that hotel chain with themed rooms hit the scene. Settle Inn maybe? My ex and I were all ready for some immersive experience and it was a normal room with some shitty landscape painted on the wall and a couple plastic trinkets. At least we had a hot tub in the room. haha

One worry I have is whether all the stuff in your pack will fit into the van. LOL

Yeah, I have...I'm going to hit up RTR this time and maybe get some ideas, but I also kinda want to get intosomething bigger with more ground clearance, soI don't want to go crazy with this van.

I finally got rid of the platform over lots of storage space in my van. I should have taken a pic if it before taking it out, but forgot. Here's where I am so far with the redesign of my home.

How about tire sizes. I have 215/65/R16's and need two tires. I can get two 215/60/R16's for $30...if I rotate tires so I have matching sizes up front and matching in back, will that screw things up?

Damn, I got drunk again and remembered I had something to say and now it's lost in that cloud in my head again. There was something about how Sociology 101 teaches that all humans seek Wealth, Power, and/or Privilege....and how it's probably less than that, that we're all just wanting to feel...

I'm too drunk for this conversation right now (I'm personally barely holding it together while being housed up for the summer with family and their stupid inescapable drama), but hopefully I remember this thread is here in the next few days while it's still relevant because I had something to...

No seriously, the shit at "area 51" is 8th of July fireworks. Why does nobody listen to me?

Area 51 is a smokescreen.

When does a joke become a dad joke? When it becomes ApParent.

To expand the drunk local thought for TiV's benefit, it turned into a brawl and a few of us boondocking there had to break it up and kick them out of the area before the cops showed up and did what cops like to do. Of course locals hang at their local spots and get schwilly. My point was that...

If anyone tells you that Cascade Falls in SD is a hot or even warm spring, its not. Fun place to swim, but its just regular cool creek water. I think its from a natural spring up stream, so its clear at least? Figured that out for myself today. Remington Spring was alright in Sequoia Natl...

Then again, fringe freaks chase other fringes?

So my wifi sucks, did any of the videos look legit? I mean, I've def seen some weird shit in the sky that still can't be explained and all. I'm always cool with learning what is real is not what was explained to me in school.

Wasn't that the van that said "paint me" or something like that?

BrotherBear! Welcome to StP. We met over the winter. I was Library crew. Smack Andrew for me just for the hell of it. haha

I drink more when I'm sitting still.

Just the shuddering thing, no motion in the wheel. I try to do the pump thing vs riding them. The shuddering isn't every time/all the time, so I'll just be more mindful and use 3 or L when I can more often as well. This trans is starting to get rough just parking on hills, so I am leary about...

Hey bro! I have a brakes issue. I've been getting, shuddering for lack of a better word, when going down a steep grade. It's been pretty wet too, so maybe that is playing into it. Brake fluid level is fine and you know how old my front brakes are (how's the uke playing coming along?). So...

Maci!!!

Something that helped me get rid of sentimental items that basically piled up over the years was to have someone close with me around as I sorted and discarded them to their various lots (as in to sell, to dumpster, etc) and I'd tell the story of the object to that person as I went through it...

::drinkingbuddy::

I had wondered in past about how it would be around the Port Aransas / Mustang Island area in the winter.

Yes and no.

I think my favorite quote from Jambo is from @Coywolf... "sssshhhhhhhh"

I really enjoyed meeting everyone and I now realize I took zero pics, so I look forward to seeing the ones folks share! Favorite is hard to nail down, but learning to make cord from @feral wanderer was awesome. Getting to see and hear folks sing and play both at the Range and at the Library was...

Never really thought about it. Lol Maybe I'll get around to it someday. I'm so far behind on things I want to write.
