Things to do when camping





Enjoy a Saturday morning mocha with Kahlua.

Mend an old pair of work pants. Those scissors, they are damn good ones, will cut thin metal. Notice the garden spray bottle, great when camping for rinsing dishes and other things, saves a lot of water.

Strip copper wire to recycle.

Read a heavy book, no fiction for me, Einstein was a most interesting man, and I’m not talking just about his work in science but other areas, like his concern about mankind, peace, etc.

I had a ‘kit’ for Mexican Bean Soup (beans, pasta, rice and various seasonings) so made it yesterday, but not by the directions, I made it in the crock pot and added hamburger, it turned out good.

Yesterday was a decent day so I took my boat out for a while. I don’t know what the insane chicks were doing and I don’t care. I’ll post about that later. It’s Fathers Day so Happy Fathers Day to you fathers. Helen is treating me to breakfast in town and I’m going to go get a free tent trailer. I'm assuming it's a piece of junk (tent trailers are always junk after ten years) but I don't care, all I want is the frame and title to make a trailer out of for hauling extras and firewood when I have the camper on the truck, I'll be able to put the boat on it also. I'll be camping in style this year. Well, not in big and fancy style, but I don't like big and fancy because I don't like things that own me. We don't own fancy stuff, it owns us, we become its slaves to keep it all up and I'm just not into that crap.

There was a clerk in a small town general store in the South. One day, a tall man entered the store and began filling a shopping cart with items. This man was so distinctive in that he could have been the official spokesperson for Quaker Oats. He was dressed in black, very tall and had that hat just like the Quaker Oats guy wears.

Well, the clerk had never seen a Quaker before, let alone talked to one. When the man reached the counter with his selections the clerk could hardly contain himself. "Are you a real Quaker?" he asked as he was ringing up the merchandise. "Yes," the tall man said. "No joke?" asked the clerk, "You're really a real Quaker?"

The man said, "Yes, I am a real Quaker." "Wow!" the young clerk said, "I never seen a real Quaker before. Would you say something in Quaker talk for me?" asked the clerk. The tall man ignored this request and waited for his merchandise to be tallied up. "Please mister, say something in Quaker talk?"

The man leaned over the counter in a gesture of secrecy. The clerk leaned forward in order to hear the quiet reply. The man said........ "Fuck Thee."

Hey, have a great day, simply and peacefully, hugs…. BBC
