Stores all packed up I made over $400 in the 3 days I was back in
town. Relaunch Montello or bust in about 3 weeks after I sell
everything that was in my store left. Shame the ex employees and ex
friend couldn't show up to run the store the last 3 weeks. Lost at
least $1000 in sales according to my voicemails. A friend is donating
a ride to get back to where my truck is to get it finished and get
back to Montello.

Montello or Bust
This round it's bust next time it's Montello..... Heading back to
Tampa Saturday. Regroup resave relaunch very soon. Tested my supplies
while my truck was down and out. Generator didn't work, poured gas out
of air filter, fixed that, then it worked for a day... Then it started
only working on full choke because it was now leaking gas from a
plastic connector.. Attempted to bypass connector then gave up and
sold it to a local shop. Solar battery charger was a trickle and did
not charge as needed or rapid enough. Tents all worked.. Had more
poles then needed. Propane Lantern worked but needed mantles not
included in box... Crank light/radio worked but handles were flimsy
and broke. Crank latern from big lots worked better then advertised.
Solar shed light worked but after so many hours it starts to flicker.
Sleeping bags worked. Air matress worked, air pumps worked. Spare tire
for truck was not needed so far. Fishing tackle worked. Tarp securing
stuff to truck bed, shredded before left Florida. Bungee cords
snapped.. Bb gun flew out of truck bed. Handheld bb gun didn't work...
Lost 1 of 2 rain barrels when tarp shredded... Storing the stuff in a
storage unit since I have to come back this way to get to Nevada no
need to haul it back plus storage here is a whopping $20 a month
unlike Tampa where it was $80.. Thank you to all who offered your help
in getting to Montello.. My relaunch date is august if not sooner..

Update
Do to my employees not showing up for work after I paid the rent so
they could keep their jobs while I moved to Nevada. I will be going
back to Florida as soon as I have the truck fixed. As soon as the
store is all wrapped up I will continue back to Nevada. Thank you all
for your offers of donations to get me to Nevada. Hopefully soon my
goal of getting there will finally come true....

Truck broke down update
While stranded I have been testing my supplies.. Great news almost all
works flawlessly but the gas generator was leaking fuel through air
filter called the generator company solved that issue. It worked an
evening then started only working on half choke then only full choke.
Come to find out hose connector was leaking. I got a new hose but it
was too small of inside tube not enough gas getting to engine. Next
time in town will get right size tube.. Solar shower works flawlessly
need about 1.5 gallons to get clean quickly. Tents all work great
except in high winds... Gas grill and gas stove works great. Fishing
pole works great too.. Soon will have enough for truck repairs I can
continue on to Nevada

More setbacks...
Someone just hit my beautiful ford f150 truck in the parking lot sped
off with their bumper dragging. Doesn't look like any damage will take
it to be looked at later... Just going to cost me more days away from
my dream

Lost Cooler from truck
After I packed my truck up, I looked around for more stuff to haul to Nevada and I added a large cooler. While driving around town, I lost the cooler it flew out from under the tarp and landed in the road.I stopped went back, got the cooler, cant figure out where the lid went because its gone. The tarp was still in place, so how did the cooler fly under it and out? will have to reorganize the packing situation before the haul to Nevada. Its like the 5th repacking of the truck since I got everything out of my storage unit on the 29th of May.
JUNE 10th
Is being moved to JUNE 11th to avoid traffic. My only possible hiccup
is if my employees wish to keep the shop open and just send me my cut
of the money each month. That would be a life saver actually. Waiting
for them to decide. They need to decide by the 9th otherwise it's back
to packing it all up..
