Interior rebuild teaser

I have begun what seems like has become an annual passage. Like migrating to a warmer climate or returning to my birth place I have an affliction to redecorate. One would think that living in a van would end all urges to move furniture, but these recent days has been...

Van-Tramp Update

I have always tried to keep this blog about my adventures, not my bowel movements or personal-gossip, so I have had little to post about lately. It may end up being this way (quiet, not bowel movement talk) during my commitment to temp-work for these few months I will be...

Dog Park days

Since returning to home-state, I have done little other than catch up on some work and get myself settled back into my gym habit. However, Moose had grown acclimatize to being outside much of the day during our trip and is now having withdrawals. To remedy this crying-puppy-malady (very irritating!)...

The cost of March 2014

I am writing this post early this month.  I can do so because I am already back in Colorado and I have spent all that I am going too this month. Nothing really out of the ordinary in my finances this month. As is the norm, Gasoline and Groceries top...

Back in Colorado

I have arrived back in Colorado where I will be staying for 5-6 weeks. Timmy has Spring Break from school at the beginning of April, his Birthday in early May, and the end of his school year in the middle of May all are reasons to return even though the...
