More Ways! More Ways! More Ways to Live!

Posted on by April 2, 2019

I can’t remember what I was reading the other day when I came across the phrase “the 9 to 5 grind”.

When I read that, I thought, “Man. Join the club….tell me about a grind”

When I thought about it some more, I realized that “9 to 5” sounded like a pretty good deal.

Who gets to live a life of such luxury?

Try a 7 to 6 grind.

You just try that for a while and then see how much you need to complain about a 9 to 5 “grind”.

Grind my A**,

(I’m just fooling around….my life is good even if my day is long….)

And….somewhere….somebody….is thinking, “What?!! Complaining about a 7 to 6 schedule? Try a 5 AM to 11…PM schedule?!! Or…even worse….a schedule where they (the man) doesn’t even let you go to sleep?!! TRY THAT ON FOR SIZE!! YOU JUST TRY SOMETHING LIKE THAT, YOU WHINER!!”

I’ll figure out a way to see the “greener grass” no matter how nice my current situation is.

I’m just “that way“.

Here’s a bunch of folks living a different way.

Not strange.

Maybe “strangely appealing”….but not strange.

Take me to the island….I’ll build a yurt.

Twist my arm.

 

If You’re Gonna Drive a Volkswagen Bus around The World….You better Rebuild Every Square inch of It….

This guy has a lot of experience with VW Buses.

And….he picked another one to continue his journey in.

Gads….

I don’t know what I’d choose to drive around the world.

Surprisingly, our Grand Caravan has taken us all around the States….and hasn’t broken down.

But, even a later technology vehicle like a Grand Caravan is pretty spooky….especially when it gets a bunch of miles on it.

I owned 3 buses….and I don’t know if I’d drive them around the world….knowing what I know now.

No….that’s not true.

I would drive one around the world.

That’s pretty crazy….the old addage about insanity being doing the same thing and expecting different results being a truism in this case.

I’m as much a victim of the romance of the old buses as anyone.

I’d drive it around the world on used tires.

Tires that I bought used because I’m cheap.

I’d bring a case of oil and go.

Spooky.
