Titties And Beer!!

Yesterday was my nephews 21st birthday and his dad decided to take him out for a few drinks at a strip bar.
He asked the young man who he would like to go along and I was on the short list.
I haven't been to a titty bar in years and years, damn, did I have fun.

The young man got the gynecologists special from the young ladies when they found out it was his birthday and the dollar bills were flying.

I couldn't really afford to go, I will suffer for it next week but ya only turn 21 once, and I was due for a break, I have been busier than a cat trying to bury shit on a hot tin roof for weeks.

I am still going to be busy as hell for the forseeable future, such is life.

I am two blocked because I am here at my parents until the end of the month and it is too expensive for gas to be running back and forth to work, here, my place for a couple of hours and back to here.
Rinse and repeat, I try to get a little bit done on the weekends and as soon as I cure this hangover, I am off to get some more unpacking and cleaning done at The Weasel Den.

One good thing about this whole fiasco is that I will have a pretty good idea of where I stand in regards to having food and supplies, a sort of on the fly inventory.
I already know I am way behind where I would like to be and taking three months off has not improved my situation, except for getting a much bigger and nicer trailer to live in and a big garden spot to work on later this Spring.
The planting season is generally fairly late around here.
I have found that although The Weasel Den is ten feet longer than The Rat Hole, it does not have near the overhead cupboard space. I am going to have to get creative with storing all my canned goods.I think I had something like fifteen liquor store sized boxes of just canned goods and a couple of bigger boxes full.
That stuff is heavy!
I also don't have near enough space to store all my pots and pans and cookware.
Groan, this is going to be a challenge and I think I see a garage sale or a hefty donation to someone in my future.

  1. Maybe you could use found or garage sale plywood or whatever to build a storage locker under the hitch part of the trailer? If you built it tight enough, maybe a 100 watt bulb would keep it from freezing inside? Check out freecycle.org there is a TON of free stuff out there!

  2. When we made the big move from a house to an RV we did some major downsizing.
    Hell we had to- there was no way all that crap was gonna fit. We pared down to the basics. 4 plates instead of 8....lots of things like that. And Mr Natural has a good idea. We use the area under the hitch to store the wheelbarrow n stuff. Glad to see you in that new trailer BTW!

    I have, never in my life, heard it put quite that way. Hoping the new place works out for you once you figure out where everything goes.

  7. So yer hurtin, money, space, and food wise.

    Welcome to the reality.

    Lemme know when ya figger it out.

    We'll save ya space on our apt. patio under the brolly if ya need a place to stay.

    And that, hoss, is real and forever.

    As long as we have a place, YOU got a shower, a couch, and a meal.

    That's just the code. The code of the people.

    And we is the people. *G*
