Digging Deep
***How embarrassing it is to wake up and find you’ve hit “publish” on a half-written, mostly-incoherent, rambling rough draft. Well! To those who saw it, please disremember! I claim being awake for...

Mostly Moping But A Little Progress
Yeah….Hi, my name is Parker, and I’m a moper. Do they have a 12-step for that? All I can say is that depression sucks. It hasn’t completely gotten the best of me though, and I have gotten things...

A Helping Hand
My son came over yesterday and we moved the back tank’s fuel filler line! It takes more muscle than I posses to force the pieces together, so he donated his strength to the cause. It is so nice to...

How To Donate To My Cause (If You Are So Inclined)

More Progress!
The rain is back. Not that it was completely gone, but I could do lots of things between the semi-hourly showers. Now I’m at a point where I need several days (and nights) in a row that are...

The Beast is Sick and Pretty(er)
There’s no feeling like your brakes going out while driving! So the Beast is in the shop again, hopefully with a not-too-expensive repair in his future. My loan was just paid off, too! At least that...

Short and Sweet
The brakes on the Beast are fine! No costly repair! Merely the belt for the vacuum thingie (it’s a diesel and they have interesting bits) needed replacement. So relieved! The mechanic did ask how I...

Wish Me Luck
Hey, I made it halfway to Arizona! The solar system just wanted sun so badly I decided to not head for the ocean first. So far, my truck had a minor breakdown with a $55 bill….and an $850 tow. Wiped...
