Mods, hi..
this isn't 100% certain, yet, so i haven't posted in ride offered.
i'll link, or ask you to move the post, depending on what goes down over the next week..
Here's the deal:
i'm escaping the hellhole of florida..
the launch tube is primed, loaded and has a spitting fuse..
the fucker just doesn't happen to be aimed..
i still have this big, floaty thing in my head, that is supposed to sail away, but i need a *big* fucking floaty thing, (+35, in servicable condition) 'so i'm going to go back to fucking work..
there is, of course, always much better shit to do than work, floaty thing or not..
now.. if i don't wind up working offshore (probably not, but if it happens, then i'm going), i'm hitting the road, probably by july 7, 2017 or earlier..
i'm looking at picking up a cheap van, because all i have now is a cramped to shit ford ranger small pickup truck (no AC, standard, no power steering) which is a bitch to drive.
presently there is room for just one person,one pack & one small animal.
that may change, but currently that's all the room there is in this fucking thing.
the maps below show possible routes.
the only thing i'm sure of (90%) is that i'm hitting the west coast to look for work.
i have some standing offers in SF Bay, but i fucking hate SF (at least working in it), so i'm looking for further north, OR or WA, or NorCal.
I may head up to MA or ME for a bit & see how fast i can find work, & if a boat is plausible..
generally i avoid interstates & average about 100 miles a day or less, unless there's a real need to be somewhere. If i head up to MA, i might be driving a bit more quickly, so.. 4 or 5 days to do make the 1400 miles.. i may stay, i may just drop shit off..
i may head west, outrightly.. i want to hit northern NM & may camp for a while..
i don't think i'm making the jambo, but.. who knows?
in any case, the possible routes are below.
just your typical road trip[, really.
& i can't emphasize this enough:
I DRIVE SLOW!!!
this is not a trip to get anyone from point A to point B..
if you need to be somewhere, at some particular time, i won't do it.'
anybody is welcome to ride, and i don't mind driving wherever, but ANY fucking schedule is out of the question, unless it is something like a month away from whenever.
i don't care how long anyone rides for, but there is ZERO fucking taxi potential, here.
i don't mind playing rickshaw, but i am NOT a fucking chauffeur.
& another bitch: I don't mind picking folks up in cities, but i'm not visiting them, unless there is a square place to park, for the duration & it's not some hellhole like LA, SF or NYC..
i take secondary highways, & when there is no traffic i lean out my door & drive 25mph.
i just want to be clear on all this stuff, because.. i may not get to WA until fucking november..
i may get there in 3 weeks..
i may not go at all..
i don't fucking know & i don't want to know..
not yet, anyways..
& if a good floaty thing pops up before then, *that's* what i'm doing..
you're welcome to come along if yer good crew..
take a look, hit me up & i'll fill you in.
the last one would be coolest, but also the most expensive.
hopefully i'll get a van & we can throw some more bodies in it.
peace, 'y all..

PS, sorry to sound like such a prick, but i just need to filter out some of the lager chunks of misunderstanding, before hey actually occur..
