who can't count.

my feeling is...you have a skill saw and a conduit bender you can
always hussle up something to do and have more than two dollars....
until the end, then you hope to die before you need the two
dollars.

Yeah. That's about where I am right now. But...I'd be happier if I died
exactly just as I ran out of the two dollars.

with SS the 2 dollars is always assured.

That's a very good point. I'm feeling better already.

unless you have excess real

estate.

No, I only have _enough_ real estate.





I have noticed thoough some happy and free old farts over the years,
riding the rails, living in tar paper shacks...always doing just fine,
with their bindle and coffee made in a tin can over fire made with
union pacific lumber...

I've got my elcheapo walmart coffee and $5 used microwave oven from the
thrift store (you gotta bring a cup of water in a styrofoam cup yourself
to test the microwave before you buy it). Alternatively you can make a
solar heated coffee cup with a plastic fresnel lens.

an exciting life, i did a little of it my teens and 20's... one time
catching a freight that ended up on a siding in the middle of the
nevada desert all night... you never know if you can manage to stay
warm long enough to snag the next slow moving freight out of there.
its a hell of an adventure. low cost also.

Hmmmm. .. I never did that one. But, a girlfriend I had once (the blond)
and I stayed overnight on the backseat of my car in a Holiday Inn parking
lot (footnote).

(footnote: this might be a little more difficult today since they say that
they check license plates and you need to put some kind of piece of paper
in the windsheild or they can haul your car [containing you+] away)

Im on the road a lot in my motorhome... lots of places to slide it in
at night or even park for a few days.
at motel they really cant tell the visitors from the tennants cars..
or if you dont have a MH, you can park at a truck stop and use their
showers for 5 or 10 dollars...or join 24 hour fitness for life for 700
dollars...about 100 location in No calif alone.

right this very instant im in Pacifica, about 100 yards from the
surf... having a cup of mocha and burning dinner on the stove... must
be 200 places to park for a day long highway 1 between here and half
moon bay or nearby... and some paid places if one is an idiot.... i
gave the state 6 dollars last week to park on the ocean at half
moon.

Check out the appropriate shopping malls. Sometimes its useful to notice
if there is a pattern of other "overnight parkers".

Also, if you park _behind_ the Mall as if you are an owner of something.

when you get a project out of state you can park the thing at an RV
storage for 100 dollars a month and fly to the site. lot of guys
doing that.... one guy I know, retired teacher, travels by train in
asia and the EU 6 months a year on a budget of 300 a month in asia,
1,000/mo in the EU... (stays out of the big cities)... spends the rest
of the time in Marin county at starbucks on 4th st. some live on
boats. when you retire for good, or in my case to 100% cad design
by email.. I might buy a boat in fiji, or burma and use a satelite
link. You can buy a nice liveable boat there for well under
5k..plush for 20k. 100/mo slip rental. 25c beer. not and cold
running women.

There's also all those guys living on their floating "junks" in San
Francisco bay, rent-free-RE-tax free and it drives the rich guys with
mortgages and high RE taxes nuts.

I recall a special on TV a while back about people how live in house
boats on the Mississippi in Minnesota. I know someone who lived on
a boat in Annapolis Harbor for a while. She said it was awfully
cold in the winter even there. Then there was the special about the
guy who squated in Alaska from age 50 to about 85. before he decided
life in the wild was getting too hard.

Cheers,
Russell
