My thoughts released; a mind set free |
|
These pages contain my thoughts, from meandering ideas and persuasions to deep cerebrations and serious mentations. Why, for what purpose? To release my mind and set creativity free. Somewhere inside the constraints of my mind dwells a writer, a poet, an artist who paints with words. In here, I release those constraints and set the artist free. Perhaps, lost somewhere in the depths of thought, is a story or a poem, waiting to be written. |
| This morning, we met up with Jeff, the person who is selling the camper we are interested in. It's a lot like the HiLo I had purchased and was in the middle of fixing up. But with the diagnosis and treatment of cancer last spring, it was put on hold. My wife and I discussed finishing that project, but with my new outlook on life and how short it can be, I don't want to spend another spring, summer, and fall working on a camper; I want to be out camping in it. She agreed with me, and even though we have the mobile tent, it's just not adequate for our needs anymore. We are both getting up there in age, and it's getting more and more difficult to set up and tear down, not to mention we have to pack a lot of the stuff we take camping before we go, then unpack it when we return; there's not room inside of a pop-up camper to store everything. That was the idea of the HiLo, a camper we could store most everything in year-round. Had life not been interrupted last spring, I likely would have gotten most of the work done, but with the cost of building materials, it could have easily turned into a mobile money pit, not to mention how much work I would have had to put in, and we all know, time is valuable. So, as of today, we own a fifth-wheel camper that is in great shape and doens't need any work done on it. We can load our camping stuff in it and be ready to go anytime. Well, once we get physical possession of it. It's currently in storage for the winter, and the doors to the storage facility are likely frozen now, possibly until spring. The guy we purchased it from will deliver it as soon as he can get the doors open, and there's no cost for us to leave it in storage. |
