Oh yay, I get to do it some more.
Nothing like putting in 40 hrs and then having to start ticking off items from a punch list on your day off.
Yesterday after work I cruised by to check on my rat hole,in the daylight.
Big Mistake.
The fucking thing has been sitting all winter with no one in it under some trees. Not directly under, but no real clear shot at sunlight.
My tan with orange stripes portable rat hole had gone full on native on me.
Green, everywhere.
I didn’t have the presence of mind enough to say Fuck It, I’ll go get a pressure washer from work tomorrow, Oh Hell No.
Instead I grabbed a bucket and a hose and what later seemed like a long handled toothbrush and started scrubbing.
Holy. Shit.
My fucking back is killin’ me this morning, I scrubbed on that dirty sonofabitch for two hours getting all the fucking moss off of that thing. Then I had to get my truck started, the battery had gone dead from sitting.
Now I get to do some demo work, my fave.
I am supposed to play in a poker tournament today but my time frame to get this shit handled is getting too tight, I am going to strip all the bedding and drag every article of clothing out and wash them too.
Much too much domestic drudgery for my taste, I’m a lazy Ornery Bastard, but I’m working on it .
Expect much bitching later, maybe I’ll get lucky and see something that pisses me off and I can focus on that.
Be good,and if ya can’t be good, stay sanitary.

Dude, what the fuck is a “rat hole”? It sounds kind of like you’re talking about maybe a duck blind or deer blind or something in the woods. Am I close?

Yer crackin’ me up Professer.
It’s the fucking travel trailer I usually live in!
In a fucking White Trash Trailer Park!
Whoo Hoo!
Tan with Orange stripes?
That’d be a pretty fuckin’ bizarre duck blind.
Portable as in on wheels, rat hole because I am having to do some extensive remodeling and repairs.
None of the appliances worked and I had to rip out all the carpet and now I am getting rid of the pull out couch in the front so I can make a combination library/ smoking parlor.
Lol.

Wow. I just impressed myself with how fucking stupid my guess was. I will now interrogate my privilege.

Hey PhysioProf, don’t be so hard on yerself.
It’s not like you probably have a lot of friends in yer social circle who live in a Recreational Travel Trailer as a primary residence, yes?
At least not yet anyway, the recession and housing bubble may change that.
It works out pretty good for me actually, It’s just me and my cat.
This one is a bit old but the newer ones have all kinds of conveniences in them.I am currently upgrading mine with new carpet, I am going to put my new toaster oven in a cabinet, I got rid of the RV fridge and put in a new Whirlpool all electric one.It has a small tub and a shower. most of them just had a dinky shower.
The biggest deal right now is getting rid of all of the unnecessary crap I have collected over the years and get down to just the basics.
Oh yeah, I’m putting in a killer sound system too. My fucking neighbors are gonna kill me.

You are correct, you are the only person I know who lives in a Recreational Travel Vehicle as a primary residence. I have to admit, I am having a little trouble picturing the tan-with-orange-stripes color scheme. Did it come that way, or did you paint it?
March 23, 2008 at 1:05 pm
Yer alright, ya know that dude?
Here, I found a picture on Google images that is real close.
Mine isn’t quite so new, ya have to think early 80’s.
I have two doors, one closer to the back. Mine is a little rougher from wear and tear but in the picture you see those streaks coming down from the roof?
That’s what mine looked like, only lots worse from moss growing on it from the roof. Lots of scrubbing to get rid of that shit.
Imagine a light tan and those stripes on the side a bright fuckin’ 80’s orange.

Wow. Further evidence of my stupendous ignorance: I was picturing something tan with thick bright orange diagonal warning stripes covering the whole fucking thing.
Thanks for the kind words. Yer alright too, dude! If you ever tow that fucker to NYC, we’ll have some beers.
