I Want a Pink Truck
Still had some problems falling asleep and still really tired. Hanging on by my fingernails until the weekend.
I was assuming that if I got an RV travel trailer, I'd need an SUV to tow it. But then I thought that I'd really like a pink truck to piss people off. (This thought was inspired by a turquoise truck that I saw today, which I liked.) Pink trucks are hard to find though. However, I did see some listings for purple trucks though, which would be okay. So if you see a purple truck towing a travel trailer, wave. Or give me a Bronx cheer.
More seriously, I was looking at the Toyota Tacoma TRD Off-Road because I'd probably be camping in National or State Parks at least some of the time and parking in dirt. Toyota does have a bright blue color that isn't too bad. Hmm, do they make trucks that have a back seat? I'd probably have at least one cat, and I would want a dog if I was gallivanting off by myself. Okay, apparently they make trucks with an extended cab.
I think that I want a truck and a "fifth-wheel" trailer. A fifth wheel is hitched to a special kind of hitch in the bed of the truck, and they usually have a overhang over the bed of the truck. They are supposed to be more stable to tow than a travel trailer, easier to back up, and they'd be harder to steal because you need the special hitch. The only thing is that they tend to be large, and I want a small one.
All the kids are out of the cave in Thailand. Awesome!
I almost ate dinner out because I didn't feel like cooking, not even soup. Then I remembered that I have mini-pizzas. Toss it into the microwave and done. Easy to eat. I think that I'll get some more for this week. I'm trying to be good to myself (although not good for myself). I'm trying to not eat out because I'll need to buy food on the train to Michigan at the end of the month.
I was more productive today, so that was good.
