Now that things have settled down a bit, it’s time to put my old truck on the market, see if I have get any bites. If I don’t get a good price for it, I’ll probably just keep it as the “family spare” vehicle. This is basically a copy of the ad I’ve just posted on craigslist.

Monetary Delay
I just got back from a couple days of visiting family a few hours ago. I’m already ready to head out on my next adventure. I guess the idea of sitting at home all day tomorrow and working just isn’t that appealing. I’m ready to go on another trip! Continue reading Monetary Delay
Fixing Things
I like fixing things, particularly in the “real” world. To have something look and function better after working on it is so satisfying, even if it’s small little things that are actually being changed.

The Great White Knight
I now have, in the driveway, an enormous white truck. This vehicle is not just a truck, it’s a leviathan.

At 8 feet wide and nearly 22 feet (262″) long, it fills up a parking space and then some. It’s surprising that I can legally drive it with the same license used to drive what I would consider “regular” vehicles. Continue reading The Great White Knight

I wanted to see as many different brands and varieties as possible as well as get an actual visual on how tie-down hooks are attached and see if there were any vendors selling accessories.

Truck Camper
I’ve been thinking about adding a truck camper to my equipment list. Since I’ll need a heavy-duty truck to haul the trailer around, I have plenty of capacity to add a truck camper to the mix as well. Truck campers are great at mobility since there’s nothing to hitch up, unhitch, and backing up is a breeze. Depending on the trip, I might take the trailer or the camper depending on the duration, number of stops, etc. Continue reading Truck Camper
