Sun dial clock

Well ok, its a solar powered watch. Has an lcd screen, its water proof
to 30m, it tells the date, time, has an alarm, tells day of the week
too. Was $10 from a watch shop. Less watch batteries for the
landfill.

Yet again

Have a job giving worthless checks, why do business people think its ok
to rip off employees? We work, we earn our pay, why do people think its
ok not to pay us?

Decided to

Go with medical portable toilet rather then a camp toilet. Also decided
to go with building a out door shower frame then the cheesey shower
tents. This will be interesting during the winter months. Pvc pipes will
be used along with shower curtains and kiddie pool to collect the waste
water.

Water treatments

1.9mg chlorine to 4 cups of water.
The ? is chlorine bleach or pool chlorine or some other sort of
chlorine.

Big set back

Budget for moving has been cut severely now. Loss my job today. Instead
of a boat load of cash, won't have much to buy a truck if I am lucky.

Trailer

Was thinking you could rent a uhaul trailer, but apparently they try to charge almost the same as a truck. Its cheaper to buy a trailer from northern tool. Granted the trailer from northern tool isn't enclosed, but for a hundred more you can enclose it yourself.

Another car payment

Made another car payment, 17 more to go and I own my useless hatchback. Wish it was a full size truck, something that would be useful in Nevada.
