Today, Monday, is garbage eve. The garbage truck comes on Tuesday morning and takes all the jetsam away. I'm planning on leaving at the crack of noon along with the garbage. Seems somehow poetic or ironic or fitting...your choice.
I tested out the campworthy-ness of my van the other night by sleeping in the van while parked in the driveway. It was very comfy but colder than I expected. The old sleeping bag isn't hacking it. I looked at the label and found it's good down to 50 degrees, so I guess I'll be making a stop at the Roseburg Bi-Mart store to pick up something a little heftier.
(At this point non-locals are wondering "what the hell is a Bi-Mart?" Some sexual weirdo-ism? Nah, it's just my favorite store here in Oregon. Think of a Costco scaled down to quarter size but with the panache of a Target. It's an employee-owned store so everyone is nice. I like that. My money more or less stays in Oregon.)
Hey...don't forget it's tax day. Cough it up, bro!

Sacramento to Reno raises the obvious question. Are you coming by?

Hey Larry
ReplyDeleteHe won't be in Sacto any longer than it takes to get some Japanese chow in his system. We don't have curb-side tea service here!
Well...it's about time.I was getting tired of you driving back and forth by my compound to the hardware 37 times a day just to install a dome light.
ReplyDeleteGood luck,Bro.I got dibs on your guitar and amp...
:o)

OK, pie man time to shut that pie hole and hit the road. So many shushi places in Sac now all the new ones are kinda edgy and have a corporate feel to them. The old Rickshaw at 10th and W still somehow stays in business.
ReplyDeleteGood luck, stay safe.

Hey Gene-
ReplyDeleteThanks like pretty cozy. Reminds me of when I lived in a travel trailer. When I moved out and a friend asked me how I liked the bigger apartment, I replied I didn't like it very much. Seems I had to get out of bed in order to get something out of the refrigerator! Looks like you won't have that problem.

Yep, I think a stop in our neck of the woods would be lovely.
ReplyDeleteGood idea checking out the campworthiness of the van... I got stuck over night near mono lake with nothing but a cheap WalMart blanket (with horses on it,no less) and a rather sick wife.
We had to wake up once an hour to turn the car on, heat it up, and then go back to sleep.
Lesson learned––WalMart blankets suck! But then you already knew that. ;)
OK, Gene-- What we really are waiting to hear-- what about the PIE???!
ReplyDeleteWhat was the first piece of the journey? And where did you get it??? : ) Send pics!
People are asking me!!!
Love, Susan : )
