Ike is almost Here !! Gas Prices suck! 4.00 a Gallon

Well, its 4:00 pm now and its getting dark from ike moving through. Should be getting some rain and hopefully no flooding or tornadoes, still don't think its gonna be as bad as Texas. My camper truck is gonna safely be parked under sometype of roof havent deciced what yet because of the leak. I also need to clean it out, wipe it down with paper towels and bleach and spray disenfectant in it, just as soon as i find my disinfectant. lol. The Tent is lopsided now in my campershell and im not really concerned about it as long as the top part stays up. I have all the windows covered with fabric ex. blankets, towels, and the back glass is covered with 2 suction type shower hooks and a metal mop handle that i broke off and made into curtain rod. The curtains is 2 panels that i bought at Walmart for my apt before i moved out. Mly campershell has inside it water bottles, gatorade bottle or piss bottle, air conditioner that i cant nor will ever use till next summer, a microwave that will only work when im at a campsite, and a portable bucket toilet with scented garbage bags in it for emergencies only. I usually cook my foods at convient stores or hospitals and my showers are usually done at truck stops. I would much rather prefer a camper van or even a conversion or cargo van but right now that is so far off financially that i cant even imagine it. I have been a vandweller enthusiast for 1 year now and i have learned alot about road side vehicles from pick up campers to Vans to Trailers and i think vans would suite my needs and situation very well. But, this truck camper shell will have to do untill i can get a decent steady job.

What have i been up to if i haven't been working that much you ask ? LoL We'll good question the last few days i have been checking out dvds at the library and watching them as well as reading books on Wi-Fi, Wardriving, Netstumbler and Job Hunting.

I watched this one dvd called "Alone in the Woods" with Dick Promeneke. It showed how he moved to alaska and built his own cabin out of spruce wood with only bare tools in 1968 and how he lived up there for 20 something years living off the land. It reminded me of another Blog Hobostripper who lives in Alaska where she talks about how much better it is to live there than the States. The movie made me feel like a boy with freedom. I dont think Dick Promeneke ever bought his land just moved on it and built there. Pure Heaven to me if i could stand the cold tempatures.

I also read a good book entitled "What Color is your Parachute" by Richard Nelson Bolles. The book was published in 2002 and it really had some great excersises in finding the skills you need to really have that career you always wanted. Very practical and Goal orientied not like some of the other boring job hunting books. I still havent finished reading it but i think i will buy it the first chance i get.
