Non binary. Be kind. Show up.
Curious about people but mostly alone.
In love with my 1989 Shasta Revere caravan. Making adventures every step of the way.
Hands Off rally energized my soul. Resistance! Connections!

EL PASO — a family says ICE showed up at their house looking for migrants and shot and KILLED THEIR DOG, then didn’t help them as the agent ran away and was not identified.

Ok. Progress sealing up the original 1989 window at the top of the bunk! Set at an angle, it is tricky to make watertight 100%.
Tore out the wall. Found the leak. Applying silicone caulk inside, more Eterna Bond tape to the exterior.
Working on my back like Michelangelo at the Sistine Chapel.

It was surprising how much work it takes to live in a small camper. It has to be tidy or can't even move around. That's a basket cat. The baskets helped a lot since we took out the cupboard doors to shed weight and feel more space.

Perhaps the tire blow out was simply heat and speed related. But this damage was part of a side swipe on day two.

Oh wow. That was our first tow to the KOA. It was the second day of travel. We did spend a lovely week with family and friends. Then overheated severely on route home. Major mechanic work followed with truck repair shop over most of last week.
The cough sputter and stop afterwards was a surprise.

Crazy blowout on day two of the trip was a surprise. Now we are nearly home but it was a compressor wheel froze up, snapped a belt, left us stranded on the interstate shoulder for five hours.

Worked with my hands four hours this morning. That's way more than lately. PT has helped a lot. Still, it looks like carpal tunnel release surgery is in my future.
At least I finished up the taping/sealing on one side of the Caravan. Very satisfying. Maybe I can finish up in 2 more sessions.

So hey, yes I'm old. Yes I like driving the Chevy Van with the big box on it, and it feeds a dream.
Know this; it is also an escape-mobile for hurricane season as well as a fall back option for shelter if this administration really does come after SSDI.
Paranoid or prepared?

I saw that RFK Jr was recently following me.
Achk! So I told him in a message what I really think of him and blocked him.

The Florida Supreme Court upheld a congressional map drafted by Ron DeSantis — even as it acknowledged that the map weakens Black electoral power in the state.
The 5th Congressional District, held by Black representatives for nearly 30 years, was dismantled at DeSantis’ request in 2022.
