Or...The Weight On My Shoulders
This weekend, I, with the help of my friends, made huge strides towards the end goal of this whole project, and for the first time in a long time, in fact, for the first time ever, I'm starting to see a glint at the end of the tunnel.
The Adventures of one weirdo going from a stationary house in the suburbs, to a full time life in an off-the-grid RV.

A Shift of Paradigm
Or...Changing Priorities
After the devastation of all my hopes and dreams (yes, that's hyperbole) last Saturday, I've spent a lot of time thinking about my plan to move in to the RV, and I've been doing a lot of rearranging of a lot of lists.

Setbacks
Or...Disaster Strikes
This weekend, for the first time ever, I've suffered a setback large enough to make me feel like the RV plan was a mistake.

Stuff
Or...No, I'm Taking This With Me
There's a lot of transitioning going on, as I'm finishing up the final major repairs and tune ups, and getting my life moved over from the house, to the RV, and transitions cost money.

Wrench Turning and Dirty Hands
With the official move in date quickly approaching, today I put my foot down in terms of getting some RV work done. Then I failed miserably.

Decisions Decisions
Or...Three, Two...
It's been a trying couple of days for the RV plan. Between my, so far, two failed attempts at repairing the leaking water line, and the rain slowing me down from attempt number three, and the mountain of work ahead of me, and many many drawing deadlines, I've found myself pretty damn close to shaking this whole thing off as a bad idea, cutting my losses, getting rid of the RV and resigning myself to a normal, boring life. To prevent that, I've gone and done something radical, something dangerous, and something that some might call down right stupid.

Ticks And Tocks
Or...The Check List, Round 2
It's been a long while since I posted one of my obscenely disorganized checklists, so I thought, since I'm sitting here writing, I would put the updated one up for you all to see. And judge.

Baby Steps
Or...Moving Forward.
Today, (yesterday for you folk) I worked on the RV water system for several hours. While it doesn't feel like a lot got done, and plenty of mistakes were made, there were a few steps forward. Some minuscule, some massive.
