general non-furry discussion / Re: What Are You Up To?

Recovering from the bar.  No not from drinking.
Met CO workers there who were laid-off.  It was very hard to see them and know many do not have jobs.  My job is essentially over.  I'm starting something new they have in store for me.  What I don't know yet.  My future is uncertain now.  More than normal.  I'm very down and just want to sleep for weeks and wake up and see everything be okay.  But I know for a fact that tremendous amounts of hard work and long hours will be what saves us who remain.  It's gong to be hard.

Hi Varg, yeah my silly old blue jeep.  New engine new transmission.  Both working.  I didn't think to get the bypass belt or whatever it's called. Don't know if it is available.  Good thing is ac compressor came in.  Now I just need time to put it in and refill gas

My new used recently fixed lawn mower needs to go back in the shop again. Looking to trade it in for a different one.

The screen went black on my pone. I might have to get a new phone.

New engine started and ran well! A little smoke and noise till it ran for 10 min.  This is normal from what I've read.

Bad news is air conditioning compressor blew up.  Turns out it was bad... go figure.  So vehicle is not being driven.  It takes weeks to get the part.  I'm tired of this.

Is this your Jeep? Can you get a belt for a model without air conditioning and use that until parts come in?

Good news here: We finally got some rain! I hope it keeps the fires at bay this year.

convention talk / Re: DenFur2023 - should I stay or should I go?

I booked a room for myself for DenFur 2023. I think it will be my last con.

I wish I had a convention buddy this final time.  But I suspect no.

In the 1950's you could buy a car with a factory installed record player.

furry greetings / Re: UPDATES ON ME

Thanks for the update Kay. So sorry to hear about the neighbor and dog.  That's sad.  But at least for the dog you all paid last respects and will never forget.

Sounds like you are holding up well so far
 Is it still your long term goal to get ID and move into a town etc? Just wondering if it didn't matter as much now that you are so self sufficient.

Oh i already got ID. Got that about a month into my life here.
No, i don't think I'm going to go back to civilization any time soon.
I rather enjoy this wasteland living. It's not ideal and can be pretty stressful at times i won't lie, but i have fans to keep cool, i have electric lights, i can keep my phone charged, i have games to play, and now I can cook food again.

It's quite an adventurous way of life here, and there's a certain bent appeal in approaching the challenges of building a life here like a crafting game.
"Stove acquired! Cooking unlocked! New crafting recipes have been added."

Next step is getting running water. And once i have a water tower and tank I'll set about getting some lumber and try building myself an outdoor shower.
