Well just spent my second night out and about and it feels so good! I am currently in a rest area, I have been at this one before, nice clean rest stop, semi country it's about 15miles from Diane's home, I truly believe the grounds keeper lives here. two spots down there is a cool little "searcher" RV, nice small class c, someday I may want something bigger than "Moby". behind me is a sleeper in a sedan watching a DVD played and just leaning back I guess just catching some down time, as he doesn't fit the bill for a full or part time live in traveler, maybe a salesman. <br /><br />As with most area's trucks are also here, their engines idling like a finely tuned chorus.... I shudda been a trucker! earn money and travel? sounds good but me and timelines? YUCK! This isn't a pet friendly rest stop as the area they want you to walk you pets is kind dangerous it's between the trucks and car area, kinda scares me for young ones walking their pets with zipping trucks on one side and cars on the other.<br /><br />Well I got my 5 hours of sleep and it's to early to really get up and venture into the world so here I am in my new virtual house telling ya all about my night and soon to be day. It's 4:30am ish, ear buds in listening to froggy101 my favorite country station. My traveling cohorts are Raven a 13 year old Patterdale terrier, think solid colored Jack Russell, Eve an off the wall Australian Cattle dog (or for you solid midwestern's you may call her a heeler), and my new acquire-e is a small pit bull named Chili, left behind my a tenant near my shop and I took her in and have had her two months, really didn't want to take her on as two traveling buddies are really enough but she's a trouble soul and not really " family pet" material, little to no training, high prey drive and hates people of color. "CHILLS" as I call her from time to time will be a story all her own, and some day I will write more about them.<br /><br />Back to this rest stop as ya all know it's a holiday weekend and a Methodist church group has been here ALL night offering FREE coffee, tea, Hot Chocolate, hot dogs, cookies, fruit! and dog biscuits! I truly love people! although at time I get frustrated with people, but these folks are amazing! Thank you Lord! I will take a picture of them to post. I got 5 hot dogs and a banana and left a 10 dollar donation, I know it's more than what it would have cost, but I am so taken back by their dedication, I had to. <br /><br />I need to give "Moby" a bath is on my today's to do list, and a good interior cleaning as pets come with their built on fur coats.... I really am temped to shave Eve bald, I swear she is part yak. I shaved Raven last week and her wirey back hair is now where to be found lately!... normally the shotgun seat is covered with signs of her status as pack brat top bitch! Even at 13 she's is still tough as ever. Also on the to do list is visit my horse Jewel , she's about a 45 minute northeast-ish drive from Diane's home.<br /><br />Switching gears, I was going to watch an episode of "drop dead diva" on amazon but it hasn't been posted yet , or I am wrong what day it airs. I do have a hulu account, best 7.99 a month spent, I think way better than netflix,.....tried to grab a rebbox dvd but nothing struck my fancy to rent.<br /><br />There is no wifi here so I am logged on with my verizon 4g modem, pricey but I hate being without internet and 50.00 gives only 5g of bandwidth enough to catch a few shows a month and do my other things, at my LI home base I have cable online, a shop bundle for phone, cable (but I don't have a tv) and internet for 85.00... my verizon phone line only was 65.00 so the extra 20 was worth it for the internet. My next lap top will have illuminated keys! I swear I do have a couple of battery operated lights above my "bed" so I can see the keyboard, but If I have an illuminated keyboard I could be in almost total darkness.<br /><br />It's pushing 5 am and the sun will start rising soon, I love being awake for the start of the day. The weather forecast is for more rain, what a bummer as I wanted to hit some yard sales! A song is playing that I don't know the name of it but this lyric, is great " I am alive and I'm free who wouldn't want to be me?!".......damn life is good today! enjoy all happy labor day weekend to all that have a such a holiday to celebrate! <br /><br /><br /> <br /><br /><br /><br />
