Day two on the road, with a different trailer...

Image
Day Two on the road, only almost a month later, with a different trailer, more bins. So Sunday I'll rearange everything to be set up to travel.   This time with a Surly Bill trailer, and to spice it up, Flame stickers, a flag, three black and yellow bins, and I somehow don't have as much room as those trailers I killed.  I even thinned the pile a bit more. But it will be good to get back out on that road, especially since the weather is supposed to turn this next weekend, happy November. Back to the mindset of "what will I find", and "mysteries galore". Pics below, should be able to handle all of my 'glamping'.... And I leave tomorrow....again...lolz  Day two, let's see how far...this time.

Boxed up another bike today

So boxed up the last bike today, the cycle truck will jut have to be taken apart and put on top of the pile. Two weeks an I move my stuff into storage, and I was thinking, if someone did steal my boxes of bikes, they'd have a tough time of putting anything together to sell, since I'm the one who took the stuff apart, and knows which box it's in, and how to put it together...muahahaha.... Saw my last two Zootunes concerts, CAKE, and Rick Springfield opening for Pat Benetar w/hubby Neil.    I might have 23 work days left, but I might not be able to talk the supervisor into letting me take the 25 & 26th off sick, but I'll wait until we get a little closer, really, is it going to matter if the guy who's position who isn't getting replaced leaves a little earlier, I don't think so. Selling some lights tonight, and while I'm doing that I'll take apart the powerrack, one of those pieces of workout equipment that's cheaper to keep.  then I t...

40 days until I'm out of a job

Well, the term for that is 'retired', but technically since I'm not old enough, I will be transient... Tomorrow I work some of the last full time days of this job I have had, showing up at the same place for 21 years, just a different floor as of the last 8 years. Got some good information from a TED talk, Bob on a Tallbike, I'll have to think of this as a performance art piece I guess, then be more personable, also, get a dry erase board, and a donation cup. Going to try to contact as many people on the Warmshowers.org site, seems a bit more people friendly and useful, than other sites that are at face value, quite a few hotel ads. It's 46 days until I'm free of this place I have called an address for nearly 40 years, I call it an address since I never really 'chose' to live here, so it really doesn't feel like 'a home'.  I hope to find a home, or at least a furbaby(a dog) that will share some time on this rock with me. Okay, I thin...

44 days and new bike parts coming together

Whoo hoo, got rid of the big wardrobe I had, I paid $300 for it at the 2nd hand place down the street, they went out of business a while ago, but to get someone to show up and pay(true only $80) for it, when it's a piece that just doesn't fit with how people live.  It's too big for the people who live in an apartment, and for those who have enough room for it, well they have a room called a closet. Oh an she bought a mirror I snagged for free, so I'm leaving town with $85. Got a present in the mail, a 11-41T chainring cassette for the rear, with a large 41T cog I will be able to make any hill my bizatch(the usual largest chainring on a cassette is 34T. New cranks came too with 24T/34T/42T that's right, the front big cog will be 1T bigger than what's on the back, new grips skewer combos, and to go along with the new drivetrain, some new old shifters. I wanted simple shifters, if the gear I am in works, I don't need to know which number it is, as for the f...
