Anyway back to my step dad. Skilled laborers. He made from his small business 500k, on a bad year. 700k+ on the good. Not bad for a high school drop out, eh? He did tell stories about how boring school was for him, and he had no prior business experience when he started.
Mobile RV mechanics, currently charging 120-155 per labor hour, and they bill the same for travel time. I’ve had them in a few states now. Going to see what the cost in Nevada next.
Not sure I’m going with this but both of these popped together with the CAT equipment

That got me thinking about my step-father. While I can’t say many positive things about his decency as a human being I will give him credit where credit’s due.
He dropped out of high school in 10th grade. Joined the Navy learned to be a diesel mechanic. He fixed boats, mostly tugboats, and CAT generators/equipment. He was one of the most sought after mechanics on the east coast. Why? Not only was he one of the best in his field, the options were extremely limited.
As they say, follow the money. If corporations are having all their trucks fueled with diesel because they get better gas mileage why are we using regular gasoline? I looked it up it says 20- 30% more, but I didn’t need to do that, the transit system speaks for itself 🙂
If I decide to get a new RV I’ll probably go diesel. Not sure that I’m favor of the biodiesel thing though, not really liking the idea of the increased food prices for people because of a cooperate lockdown on biodiesel materials.
When I pulled up to the gas tanks it also got me thinking about symbolism and if it was possible they were trying to communicate something with the color coding. Now, I don’t know much about the biodiesel vs regular diesel fuel pros and cons. But I remembered the conversation I had with someone I met on my travels about how you get far more gas mileage from diesel fuel than regular gas.
While I was driving today the Love’s sign caught my eye because it was blinking green and red. So I decided to stop and get gas, hadn’t been to one in awhile. Got me thinking about gas prices and how expensive they were in CA. These were on the cheaper side from what I’ve been spending.
Two sides same coin
I used one to play against the other. What I wanted and how to get there.
Many times I used the active imagination dreams as a problem solving technique. I would close my eyes and let the movie play. Most of the time, if not all, I didn’t understand how the images I saw would play out or manifest. I just trusted my higher self to figure it out and it did. Great stories came from doing that, and just going with the flow.
Hardest part for me is knowing what to believe, or not believe. I’ve had so many dreams over my lifetime to be true and unfold exactly the way I dreamed them. They were the sleeping dreams. The active imagination dreams are a different sort. The new addition to the family.
First step, shifting the focus and purpose of the twitter account. It’s not about “likes” it was about tips, from the birds that is. Every like that came in confirmed or redirected the thought process.
The background dialogue from my main man to check in with. I used to gauge how I was progressing by the number of likes I got. If I got 1 I was progressing, 2 I did pretty good, 3 I was hot on the trail of something fantastic. 🙂 I did get really excited on those days.
Working out with the universe was a daily occurrence. Hours and hours daily spent trying to over come some of the psyche challenges along with gaining confidence in myself. Hardest part, doing it without validation. That comes in two forms.
Validation as in the need to be “liked”
Validation to know if your on the right track in your learning.Strangest thing just happened. I was responding to an anon account and I wanted to address them by a name. Though I have no idea if it was their name or not.
After my dad died and my mom went back to work, my grandparents tried to fill in some of the gaps. I spent every weekend and every summer with them down the shore. At 10 yrs old my grandmother passed away. 6 months later, so did my grandfather. Age 11 I was in boarding school, where I did get my first kiss 🙂

So I did it! Found a campground with one spot left so I can go see the forest and bring my puppies 🙂 It’s to the tree that made me smile when I saw it too
Nice little story about these pictures too. I was walking around the campground yesterday thinking about the layers of the plantings. Took a picture in one direction. Decided I wanted the other side of the tree so the sunlight was there and took that one. Then a bee came fluttering by and I was able to capture it in flight 🙂 I deleted the first picture though not sure if I should have, story is here with the key parts anyway.

Upon further inspection it seems the whole shuttle line is down. Trying to figure out a new plan now so I can see the forest.

So I’m blocked from this site
https://sequoiashuttle.betterez.com/cart/63dadd8f34b86c087f00bc02
I picked this campground because it had a shuttle service to the forest. I wanted to go yesterday and brought up the shuttle reservation but then got worried about leaving the dogs for so long and didn’t want to spend 2 hrs sitting on a bus each way and limiting the time I could spend in the park to get back for them. So I decided to drive.
I was going to go today, and just take the shuttle now it’s blocked. But seems only for me because others are able to access it.
Why?
“Cutting out huge body parts doesn’t heal anything”
Was the message that popped.
Waiting for the numbers to align.
I decided last minute I wanted to take my pups with me to see the Sequoia Trees. Checked the maps saw RV spots and went. Turns out size of RV is he deciding factor. Didn’t allow RVs in this entrance that were over 22 ft. Have to go to the other entrance which was 2 hours away.
As a side note, the park pass has been great. Not very expensive and gets you into all of the national parks and monuments for free.
I’d sooner overturn every single table than keep reliving the same circle of events to get the same outcome.
Will the divorce rates skyrocket? Probably. But they don’t have to be mean, ugly ordeals. Almost every single relationship I’ve walked away from that I have tried everything in my power to make sure I could maintain at least a friendship with that person. My view, I loved that person, for a reason. Even if we weren’t meant to stay together, the aspect of them I loved, I loved dearly. I want them to be happy and have the best life possible too. I’m proud to say I’ve been successful in just about all. Even when they lashed out and did things like draining our bank accounts, I’ve been able to walk them back and settle it down for an amicable separation.
One I didn’t attempt to do that with. The scars were too deep and daggers kept coming even after we split. Even with that though, I hope he finds his way to healing his trauma and finding his happy ever after.
Taylor Swift is 33. I watched a lot of her videos. Singing the same songs as most. I cried and made a wish for her too. That we all can move past the heartbreak and find the person we are supposed to be with.

A wet paper bag keeps popping into my head right now.
I don’t feel like I’m weak though, quite the contrary. Back in Florida I told myself that I was healed. So what’s left that I need to do?
I share my story, quite enthusiastically at times. It doesn’t make me happy to keep revisiting heartbreak hotel though, I will say that much. My hopes, my dreams, I’ve shared it all. It takes two to tango though, and they opted to do it from a distance. Ok, I can live with that.
Maybe they are already living their happily ever after life.
Maybe they like the solo lifestyle and just making up stories.Whichever the case may be, doesn’t explain to me why I keep ripping open that wound on my end. I can take on just about any role and stay dedicated to it. Why keep brining it back up?
The Bleeding Heart
One of the flowers I do love, but also how I frequently feel. I can get intensely emotional, and to be honest, I don’t like it. What’s the purpose of constantly returning to that state? I do it to myself and I don’t fully understand why. I have no problem talking about my experiences now, why use those specific instances to demonstrate our abilities?
