Unique Wall paper

 Unique vehicle:

For today:

I like cars. I have no idea why, but I collect pictures of cars, I smile when I see a very unique one. I remember being passed by the ‘Planter’s P-nut’ vehicle once. As it approached in my side mirror I was trying to ID it. I knew from a distance it was going to be unique.

Life and traveling brings us in contact with unique things. Sherry was reading something and the fact came out that ‘bubble wrap’ was originally designed to be used as wall paper.

My mind went to something I had heard all my life about insane people being placed in a rubber room. I remember statements as a kid, “You are ready for the rubber room!” Said as a put down for ‘You are crazy!’

 

While volunteering for work in Lapanto, Arkansas I was impressed by a bathroom that was wall papered with brown paper bags, it was actually pretty and the most unique wall paper I ever did see. I have hung wallpaper and I would not like to hang something like that.

What is the most unique wall paper you have used, seen or heard of?

Mistakes and thinking

Interesting Car:

 This car and the last few I have used come from my 'strange car' file. I know little to nothing about them. They just caught my eye. This one should never be driven in mud or rain. LOL

For today:

I checked this motor home closer today and the bad airbag  is in the rear. There is some frame damage so the $ amount climbs.  I stopped by the grocery store and picked up a few groceries and two windshield wipers. Leaving the store I wasn’t paying much attention, I had my mind on the work coming up on the coach.

Sherry has been the bookkeeper since we retired. She was looking at the bill after dinner before recording it. She said, “Well good, you got the wipers.”

My mind went back to unloading the groceries and I couldn’t remember where I put the wipers. I looked everywhere. Then it dawned on me, I did not remember transferring them from the buggy to the car, I had left them in the buggy.

I went back to the store. I knew it was a long shot but I checked. No one had turned them in, so I bought replacements.  That isn’t the worst mistake I have made lately, but a few things are adding up and it does bother me some. I laugh at myself many times that I do not know what day it is (it really isn’t a happy laugh!).

One of my dad’s favorite jokes back in a time when some people were saying ‘most problems and sickness is in the mind.’  Dad told of a little boy that came home and said to his dad, “Dad, you know Ms. Brown down the street who is sick ?”

“Son you mean the lady who ‘thinks’ she is sick!”

“Yes that is her. She thinks she is dead now, they just put her in a hearse.”

So we all make mistakes at times thinking, so maybe I just ‘think’ I might have a problem.  LOL

 PS: I hope someone found the wipers that needed them. ;-)

It is also a Vehicle and there are parking places to find…

Interesting Car:

Sorry I am late Evelyn, but I hve been visiting Mr. RV repairman!   OUCH!

For today:

I love this Motor Home. I sometimes forget it is also a vehicle and that  it has all the problems of a truck or car in addition to being a great place to live.

 This unit uses AIR BAGS for suspension. Yep tough rubber bags support this 26000 lb home instead of metal springs. There are two at each wheel. Apparently the ones on the Sherry side, I mean passenger’s side,  are leaking.  So this morning I will visit the repair shop again.  WE also need wipers, we noticed that in the rain coming down.

As a precaution to 'NO Vacancies for RVs' I thought we should look into cheap property to park the MH.   That time is coming fast. So I DECIDED to check out a nice piece of property near  Palatka, FL.

WOW this is 3 acres with 2 run down mobile homes and a fenced Acre Horse Paddock.  Hey, I can get a horse and really be a cowboy, I might even learn to be a Cracker (Cowboys in Florida were called Crackers because they used the ‘crack’ of the whip to work cows, whereas western Cowboys use ropes for hazing. The whip didn’t strike the cows, just the noise of the ‘crack’ was used).

The price is very fair, about $10,000 an acre. That is about the price of a small building lot around here. I was sure Sherry would borrow the $ for me, she knows I have always wanted to be a cowboy.

BUT, BUT it is on a dirt road, and She will not live on a dirt road again, something silly about dust!  And she hinted, if I thought it was hard to handle leaving the two black cats for the winter, I should think how hard it will be to teach the horse(s) to be feral for the summer months.  I conceded that point (Ssssshhh.. but don’t tell her I ain’t given up yet!).
