Last post before I go! I'm doing laundry and have to make my bed up, and then walk lucas/ drop off the dolly I borrowed from where I work, and say good bye to those around. Then - into the snowstorm. Hopefully I will get to a decent sized town before it gets dark, but it may just be the Walmart in Ellenville, at the rate I'm going. It was so clod these last few days that it was difficult to stay on task with getting the cabin shut down.
Neebee - Thank you for the card!!!! You are so awesome.
As for supplementing my seasonal work - that's backwards. It's my seasonal work that supplements my craft. Though it probably doesn't seem that way from the outside looking in. I know someone who did the Amazon gig, FWIW.... Thanks for the suggestion.

never thought it was any other way because your seasonal work gives you enough time to do your craft. What I did see was that your seasonal work didn't supply you with enough extra cash, so I suggested the amazon gig to supplement that. You could head down to Alabama Edit: ( not sure of actual state )and get out of the cold and make some cash. they have centers all around the country.
Whatever you choose, good luck Terri.

First snow of the season, at less that 3 hours from first flake down.... Holy crap! I decided to stop pretty much the nearest town with parking for overnight, Middletown. Glad I did, because by the time I got there, the windsheild was icing up, visibility was BAD, and the roads were already slippery.

hey there say, happyGrrl... you are MOST welcome!
say, we JUST got this snow, too...
heard that farther, east, was worse, and man oh man, i can see that...
also, say, if you did not have to drive so far up,
you could stop by here, in mich, too...
but, that'd take you a bit off track of going under the
great lake... to head west, :O
keep us updated...
stay safe... SNOW, man oh man...
here, the only issue, of this early bit, is that my
leaves have not even dropped halfway yet, from oak...
thick lovely fluffy snow, though...
turning to rain now...
hope you get a clear way... driving is worse, in it,
than leaf-troubles...
love and prayers... hug the pup-dog...

Divad - Yes, I do know, and try not to run low. I had made a miscalculation on use, and it also has seemed like my gas mileage has somehow decreased this season, which has been taking me by surprise(the gauge doesn't work, so I take miles down). If I get back to normal now, I'll feel less like a paranoid fool knowing my suspicion that someone's been helping themselves was true. If so, next year will be game camera time.
I've heard lots of stories about "people who drove" last night. "Shitshow," by one guy, who said he'd never seen so many cars off the road. I expect he had some 4x4 with good tires, but couldn't help wondering if his superior driving skills got him through or just luck. I saw my port in the storm early berthed my boat, and am waiting for a while before getting on the road again.

Happie, where will we look for you in Josh, The Pit being sold & shut down?
I have been bivying in the Walmart most of the time. That's partly why I decided to reduce the JT time this year(but only partly). I can pretty easily be found when around, though, but it's easy enough for the hateful ones to figure me out, so I'm not going to post my routine. The easiest way is to send me an email if someone wants to go climbing, hiking, or wants a house sitter. But I won't be there until mid January this year.
Has the Pit land gotten sold? I was often unwelcome there anyway, and never got the invite to the place where all those denizens moved to. But the hell if I was going to be pushed out of the Pit by the energy that was. That doesn't mean I didn't feel it, and I still hope the one who was stealing my food gets what's due to him.

After a family visit hiatus, in Wisconsin, I'm about the get back on the way.
It's just too COLD here, and unfortunately it's going to dip to zero(with wind chill) tonight, so that's a bit miserable. Tomorrow morning will be a not-wanting-to-get-out-of-bed waking up, but I'm hoping that will be the worst of it.

HappieGrrrl keep on trucking! Your quest seems to be in the spirit of adventure; as in adventure never knows the outcome but trusts the journey.
Fear is the mind killer that keeps me tied to soooo many "what ifs?" that I am killing myself with worry i e what about health ins, death ins, car ins, dental ins, home ins, etc. Maybe someone will come up with an app that covers everything!
Well, 8 billion people. How many of these live full lives without? How many die prematurely even though they have all of it? How many worry about how the hell to hold onto all of it---a lot.
Ha Ha. Seems like a lot that are old and have a lot worry a lot. Which is counter intuitive because they/me are even closer to death; hence, death takes care of itself, no need to worry!
Cheers!

Thanks for the wishes.
I will listen to/watch Dingus' video tonight. I'm still in Coldlandia, due to having discovered a nice bunch of vintage buttons for my hair accessories shop, and finding a library with great light for product photography. That doesn't happen very often! So, still in Kansas City, and will head off tomorrow, thinking due south for a bit to warm up!

Cool runnings, happie...keep on keepin' on...
I'm in MN, and find it amusing that it's blizzarding SOUTH of me...drive safe!
I'm sure someone has mentioned it, but getting your gas gauge fixed would reduce your stress significantly; always driving with that background doubt can be enervating, even subconsciously...
I ran a Ford E150 for years with no gauge, BUT had dual tanks; I ALWAYS had about ten gallons in the 2nd tank so when the first conked I could just flip a switch. Do you carry a jerry can for emergencies / miscalculations? Nothing kills fuel filters faster than sucking up the crap from an empty tank.
