About a month ago, I walked past a camper and got the strongest whiff of dirty socks. At the time, I thought to myself damn.. is that entire trailer just used for laundry? I doubted that was the case,

Ah man, I broke my (small, fresh, and new) Actifit streak. I had planned to write Wednesday’s post last night; but I somehow fell asleep much earlier than I had planned to; entirely accidentally! I’m not

The. Drought. Is. Over. Other than a light sprinkle a few weeks ago, we haven’t seen rain here since June. Some might think hey, that sounds really nice; but the dryness of the climate has been pretty

What’s poppin’ everyone! Today wasn’t the most active day on paper, but god damn were those 17k steps tough ones! I think I was a bit dehydrated, perhaps a little malnourished; either way I was absolutely

Jeez Louise, I am SHOT. I thought I was getting back into shape, but I have humbled myself greatly. No, I didn’t even do that much, looking back on it; and the myriad of health issues I am going through,

Back on the loop. It seems the sheriff has calmed down with stickering vehicles up in town. From what I’ve heard, it usually only happens one to two times a year. Some out of town individual(s) take advantage

Seventy-five days sober. Seventy-five days living on the road. Seventy-five days of just saying fuck it and seeing where life takes me. Seventy-five days of eating cheese and hummus by headlight and searching

One day last week I found myself in Portland, OR; up early in the morning and awaiting an arriving flight into PDX to pick up a friend. I haven’t fully explored the Portland skate scene, and was determined

Damn, what a week. I have started to try to post a few times; but would inevitably be out of electricity, service, or time alone. And I am certainly not complaining. After Mark the Van got its brakes

Well, I’ve been out of service for about a week, and it’s hard to keep track of what I was even doing! I had a friend in town from the other side of the country and we went camping in multiple places;

God damn, when did I take so many steps? I guess I have a habit to overcompensate after taking a little time off.. my last few days were more or less “rest” days- although they didn’t really feel like

SHAME! SHAME! SHAME! My inner self screams at me this morning. Despite my determination to do it myself, and presented with some minor obstacles, I caved and brought Mark into the mechanic. Mark is what

Nothing says you’ve established yourself in a community quite like free coffee. When the van is parked up in the town, my morning routine typically involves climbing out of the van as soon as the want

It’s just me, I’m the nonsense. Silly little man, silly little jobs, silly little volcano, silly little van, silly little life. Yesterday I got to work chock full of beans. The smoke was thick, the parking

Man, shit has been WEIRD lately. The fire continues to grow, work has become uncertain, and my mental health has been about as stable as a drunk uncle at Christmas dinner. Last week, we got the first little

EVERY. SINGLE. INSTINCT. is telling me to get out of here. It sucks, because I was just starting to feel super comfortable and stable here. Comfortable with sobriety, comfortable with being “homeless”,

Alright, well this fire is getting serious. I can notice a significant change in my breathing ability, even from yesterday; which was already bad. I tried to get up early to take the bus down the hill

Holy fuckin shit. It is so hard to breathe right now. For the past week plus, there’s been a growing wildfire in the area I’m currently working in and it has been inching towards us. I already had to move

I’ve been super sick this past week-ish. It started with migraines, then just absolutely no energy, then sneezing and cold sweats and fever and absolute hell. But I’m starting to get better. This is my

Well, well, well… it’s been a minute. I’ve been going through a bit of a rough patch here. Actually, things are really great. Well, I’m not really sure how I feel. THAT is what I’ve been doing to myself
