Chore Day... or How Come it Gets So expensive... to live Cheap? :)

Running hard to catch up...

So... If you're living, and working... as a full time RV Boondocker and wandering Biker Cowboy... is it still a Vacation when you climb on the Scooter and take off for six days? :)

Having been gone for the week and much of my "electronics" crapping out along the way... had much to do to get squared away... I know... Folks say "electronics" aren't so important... and maybe for most folks they aren't...

For me? The durn things have gotten to be pretty demanding... since a goodly chunk of my subsistence is dependent on my ability to "plug in"... I've got lil' choice but to keep things hummin'... and that... is sometimes, a costly deal.

The most critical "repair" was my Droid phone... which didn't make the two year contract... now, why doesn't that surprise me? Anyway, that sucker is dead. As in... Medium sized, expensive, paper weight.

So much of the middle afternoon was spent at the Verizon milk store... getting it replaced...

Yeah, I said "Milk Store"... cuz you walk in there and they must think you're a cow... cuz they sure do milk a fella. We gave maybe 4 gallons...

But, I did walk out of there with a brand spanking new Droid Incredible by HTC... Oh Wow! Such Excitement! HooYa! I'm giddy! an "Incredible!!!"..... yeah.... right...

Why don't they just call it a Cell Phone? I mean... it seems to be a really good phone... lots of bells and whistles... but... Incredible? ... That's a bit of a stretch, isn't it?

Re-phoned and poorer, we got it done along with a late lunch date at Famous Daves, needed supply stops at Wally World and Costco... Then fought our way out of the Traffic in Missoula. Uh... WOW!... Missoula ain't that big a town... but Oh Lordy... do they have BIG TRAFFIC down there!

... Made us real ready to get back to camp!

We've got to move maybe Sunday... so finding the place to go... is on the docket for today.

Had a lil' bit of luck yesterday. Though we've had the offer to park the rig over near Big Timber, when we go back to Colorado for a wedding at the end of the Month... we stumbled across a storage yard right here in Seeley Lake that'll let us park it there for twenty bucks.

Considering it's nearly 600 miles over and back... and a whole lot cheaper then hauling over to Big Timber... and then all the way back west when we get back from the wedding... (we're planning on running up Northwest again) it only makes sense to leave the rig around here...

Getting a late start today too... spent much of the morning carving a quick video from some of the clips I filmed on my Motorcycle Cruise to the Black Hills... it's posted over on Ribbon of Highway.

...as always... the hurrieder I go... the behinder I get...
