    05/27 Trip Report:
    After the Generator was fixed it was discovered that the transfer switch was bad. No way to get it done before Memorial day Weekend so I paid for one out of my pocket ($243). Changed it out Saturday afternoon with the help of the Red Neck boyfriend of my youngest daughter. Back in business and ready to dry camp a Walmart.


    Went with the Keurig K Cups for Java... Love it so far:


    Renters get tossed if my little Sage dies.


    We faced north, great in the am a bitch in the afternoons:


    Duke settling in and loving it.


    Me trying to look cool in 97* heat in my Hipster Walmart hat.


    Getting better at doing the steaks on a new grill (Thanks for nothing OT)


    Had some real good thunder storms roll through, No leaks, Thank God.

    Put the Bus in storage as the rear Air Condensation is not draining properly (Like onto the bed) $40 seal, hopefully Sonya can get to it so I don't have to do it.

    Brick house is a shambles, no cable, no Internets no TV, one of the Lesbians has not been around and sleeping elsewhere....humm.

    I turn the Tahoe in tomorrow so all I have is a 350 HP Diesel Pusher and a 50cc Yamaha (Not counting the Harley as I have to turn that into a Toad).

    I'm going with a flat folding stoable Satellite platform for the Direct TV and waiting on the roof mount one, as the DTV HD unit is $1900 installed. The net work is up and running, snagged The Avengers and MIB III off Torrents and The Gray off iTunes. Did a Little Cake Boss and Lost on Netfilx.

    More work around the Brick house this weekend and maybe next with some finishing work on the Bus in anticipation of our Waco trip with my Mom and her Boyfriend.

    I'm working on the best way to capture some NSFW activities as we go along.... only way to keep OT's interest.

    Seems like we could accomplish this faster but there is just so only so much time in the day. Believe me my Wife is more anxious than me.

    i really admire what you're doing. i've wanted to do this for years - i will, but not for another 10 years or so.

    reminds me of 'lost in america'

    enjoy your travels

    Everybody who keeps saying "get rid of Wife", this is not a lifestlye for Barbies or primadonnas.

    My wife works the bus, it's not easy much more physical than I thought, I'm glad we are doing this now instead of 10 years from now.

    I was catching up on a page or 2 of this thread thinking to myself, I like mc more and more with every post. Which was odd because for some reason I thought he was a dick for quite some time on here. But after seeing he has a walmart fedora and a scooter I'm about 1 pic with a pbr away from returning to my original assessment.

    I keed, good luck with the preparation and the trip. I hope you have an amazing experience!

    Direct TV platform up and running here at the brick house, all I have to do is plug it in. Did you know they have money shots on their porn?

    Garage sale tomorrow, nothing comes back in the door.
