Perfecting the art of thumb twiddling.

Days are short, but seem to be getting longer or at least, looking for a suitable van to take care of my travel plans. The problem is that this area I am in , is like a stepchild to the rest of the state, proper vans are a scarcity here and the many that I find on the net, are at least a half days travel from here and being afoot, well, tough row to hoe, but, I am patient to a big degree and know that something will pop up sooner or later and look out, ole dick will be plowing down the road, look out and duck ya'll.
I did find one I am interested in located in Minnesota, nice looking vehicle and whats nice is that the passenger seats have been removed and the cargo area is "floored" with nice interlocking flooring, ready to install the "camper" goodies, i.e., sink, stove , bed (half bed on one side in back), maybe a shower? I would need to look around for a trailer that is no longer road worthy and talk the owner out of the "goodies". Well, back to my scavenging.

Well, Maria has been bugging me to update and get offin mah rear, but, not being "up" on such things as blogs this will probably be closely akin to , say, adding anchovies to my favorite dish of icy cream, i.e., strawberry, such is life , huh?.
Life has such wicked twists and turns, one must be continuously awake and aware, ready to weave oneself thru the maze, I wonder why life must be so much like a puzzle, always searching for the right piece of the puzzle in order to continue on the path to fullment.
Presently, I am searching for a mode of transportation, preferably a van, which to me, will be my home on wheels, a choice that , to me, represents another piece to the puzzle, a situation that will me to wade thru this bumpy existence. Having spent 6 yrs. previously in a 20 ft. TT, one realizes that everyone has a built in "want button", a button that sometimes illicitly is designed to enhance the "bumps and potholes" in life. Once one realizes that the more simply one lives, the happier and more accomplished one turns out, why dosen't everyone realize this?
Having rambled thru this, reckin I will let it rest and find something productive to do for today.
Heres wishing all a productive and ingratiatingly satisfying day. Come on Maria, lets go.
