Life on the road

Fun at my.... expense...

After I ate it I went down the road a bit, made it to my shut down point. Got a shower. As I was exiting the shower I had a manager ask if I had a sewer issue in the room. The gas man.... The gas... Haven't touched one since.

 

Wrong. Million miler rollers are the best.

 

It took me 5 years to add Maine to my 48. It was the last holdout. Got it with WAlmart out of NY lol.

 

De-clutter is the word. I packed way too much stuff in the beginning. Nowadays it's enough for six days of clean clothing. Long sleeves in winter, short in summer. One good heavy jacket, one rain jacket, one windbreaker.
Walmart by the pack. Simplify. Simplify.

 

I was raised on spicy foods...Cajun, Mexican, anything with some bite to it. Never had heartburn ever. Not once.
Until I ate a truckstop hotdog. Thought I was gonna die.
I threw up things I ate clear back in grammar school...fingernails, pieces of crayon, pencil erasers, all that stuff.
We were staying in a motel and the room clerk called..."I'm sorry sir, but we getting reports that you have a seal in your room..."
Never again.
.

 

Wife's looking at me funny now, I lost it at the seal comment

 

Cleaned you right out. That's good for you.

 

I think we're missing an opportunity for these hotdogs and roller skates.

 

Nevada was the last one for me. Aint nothing much go through or went there. I suppose it was a good thing, considering the vices north and west of Vegas. I think it was about 99 or so when we crossed Hoover on the old road before they built that new bridge. Crossed it a few times since for fun. Although Kingman looked like a third world village compared to the excesses of Vegas.

 

@x1Heavy has nailed it.

I couldn't say it any better.
This life is for some.. not so much for others.
Some of us are born nomads and take to this like flies to crap.
We live for it. It's natural.
The best thing to do is get in.. get wet.. make sure you're prepared.. then decide if it's for YOU.

There's ZERO shame in it not being your thing.
It doesn't make you less than anyone else.
I can't sit in an office, or work inside four walls all day. It takes a special person to do that in my mind.
NOT ME.

Find your path.
