Pictures of my e350

I'm typing this on my newly purchased laptop. <img src="/images/boards/smilies/smile.gif" border="0" align="absmiddle"> Once again, now that I am back Stateside, not having rent really frees up my money for other things. Last month, it was a new SmartPhone... my very first! So now I have joined the screen swiping community. This month it's a new laptop. Not having to pay $500 a month has paid off so far... I am continuing my training living in a small space.&nbsp;<br /><br />Right now, I work in a small isolated office cubicle with my bread toaster, electric griddle, small oven toaster, rice cooker and crock pot. (I have my Boss' permission to do this) <br />Amazingly, I can fit everything and work in a space the size occupied by a sedan car. It's cramped, but I can pull of some pot roast, fried eggs, toast, etc... I try not to prepare foods that produce a lot of smoke and smell. Rice is pretty much odorless so I do a lot of rice based dishes right now.&nbsp;<br /><br />Life is working out pretty well. In about 2 more months, I move back into my little home. Great White is down at the office lot right now, but in this heatwave... naah, I'll camp out in my cubicle at nights.&nbsp;<br /><br />Camping in my office made me think of the many buildings out there whose airconditioners work 24 hours with or without people in them--pumping out all that cold air... wooh... It's a shame, isn't it? I was thinking of somehow taking advantage of that in some sly way... hmm... I am turning into a cunning rat! A scavenging raccoon... wild as an antelope! I love this...<br /><br />And yet, I live better than most... eat organic and fresh... have lots of seafood, eat at any restaurant I like... Bathe everyday, keep up my hygiene really well... make my medical and dental expenses so far with my trips overseas (cheaper)... it's wonderful to be truly free. <img src="/images/boards/smilies/smile.gif" border="0" align="absmiddle"><br /><br />Now... gotta finish my book before Winter comes...

You know... I'm turning Japanese! I live in a space as small as some cramped Japanese homes. I think I've passed the test and period of determination. I have joined Mr. Bob in proclaiming that this IS the life!&nbsp;<img src="../images/boards/smilies/smile.gif" alt="" align="absmiddle" border="0" /><br />Hopefully, my next few paychecks can get me the upgrade I always wanted... Bigger rig, here I come!

Glad it's working out so well for you.<br /><br />Next step is to make sushi rice and vegetable rolls.

<br /><br />I did not know abut ABS sheets Seraphim...dunno how I missed that????<br /><br />Do you know how they will react in the heat and sun? I wonder if they give off fumes in any major way?<br /><br />Do you have other experiences with the material? I am curious...it looks like a great material for many things....<br /><br />Bri

I am thinking I will be lining my walls and roof with FRP. It's around $33 buck a 4x8 sheet at lowes.... though I did see a plastics shop on my way there to pick up the last of the supplies to do my roof vent install this weekend. I think I'll stop in an check it out next trip. I will have to look into ABS I guess.

sushi rolls already done! <img src="/images/boards/smilies/smile.gif" border="0" align="absmiddle"> as well as making bibimbap which is really nutricious and cheap on the wallet.&nbsp;<br />Tonight, I am in my van preparing for my first winter night. Sweet little private space... my own little nest just like the wildlife outside... Makes me feel like I am with them little animals out there in their little homes. <img src="/images/boards/smilies/smile.gif" border="0" align="absmiddle"> It's a great feeling.&nbsp;
