Recharging Batteries?

The hotel in Philly is very nice and next to China Town, Reading Market, and across the street from the convention center. I am totally loving the whirlpool. Which is a good thing. Catching up with friends from Florida which is wonderful. I still don't feel recharged yet, but I am feeling much more relaxed.

I have all of tomorrow to do a few more meetings in the morning, shopping in the afternoon and all conference party tomorrow night. I'll then pack up and be back on the trains on Saturday.

Amtrak is my friend. I have a roomette all the way home on the two big legs of the trip.

Later

Vacation

I'm off for vacation. When I get back. I'll have to make final decisions about purchasing a trailer and making plans for what I'm putting on it.

Maybe I'll think about it on the trip.

I am so tired.

A place to build.

So, I will have to go with a trailer from TSC and then modify the design used by Scott to build his ledge:

Scott's Vardo

Click on October 2010 for pics. 

Well I spoke to my land lady today. A nice woman 99 years young who has her hair dyed flaming red. She is totally happy to let me build my vardo on the property. Her son who takes care of the properties she owns is another matter entirely.  To quote Ms. Cricket..."He'd blow his top."

So, I'll go talk to friends to see if anyone can lend me yard space, and my realtors to see if she can find me either a place where I can rent to build my Vardo or another house to rent, that wouldn't mind if I was building a vardo.

The Hunt for a Trailer

Plan A: OH DEAR.

Plan B: Total Washout

On to Plan C:

Plan A was to purchase the trailer new from the Tractor Supply Company here in town. But they only have the utility trailers with the the rails around the edges. So I put this on the back burner and moved on to getting a new trailer from Home Depot.

Plan B: Home Depot, can not get me the trailer I want. Very depressing.

Plan C: Next I will check out the  trailer maker in the town an hour south.

Plan D: Is that I return to the TSC and get the trailer with the rails and work around them. (Option has merit as that I can secure the Vardo more firmly to the trailer)

Now this is all hinged onto finding out if the Landlord will allow me to park the trailer here.

But that is a blog post for another day.

A HITCH AT LAST

TRAILER!!!

Now the Farm Store in town can't order the size trailer I want. 

SOooooooo...

I'm off to the Home Depot in the next big town to see if they can order me the 6x8 I want.

Really Annoyed:

I called the Ford dealership a ten days ago about putting the hitch/tow package on my Truck.

They haven't called. Now I have no time until next Wednesday to arrange getting the truck into to the shop, I have to go into FTW this weekend and elsewhere on Monday and still somewhere else on Tuesday.

Annoyed.

Updates when they occur.
