I was beginning to give up on the retail job because even though the manager reached out to me almost immediately, my response and next-day follow up went unanswered for what seemed like forever but was only a few days. Anyways, as I was walking to the rest area to use the…brownsocks in # travel • 1 day ago • 7 min readDay 11 - RAIN!!!! FINALLYFinally, the rain is coming. The nice weather has been, well, nice, but I am incapable of mentally handling too long a stretch of time without some real weather. It hasn’t hit yet, but the cloud are darkening, the smell is in the air, and the weather person has superimposed rain clouds on the next six days of the forecast. Furthermore, I…brownsocks in # blog • 2 days ago • 7 min readDay 10 - Fridge re-up and hiking confrontationsI seem to have a hidden talent to predicting where work is going to be done early in the morning. Two days ago an excavator was dropped off next to the van shortly after I woke up on the forest road, and this morning I woke up to sewage line repairs going on 50 feet from the van up in the town. I don’t mind, to be clear, in the slightest. I…brownsocks in # travel • 4 days ago • 4 min readDay 8 - Timberline LodgeDespite it having been a rather boring day consisting mainly of resetting and taking care of responsibilities, I promised myself I would write every day just to get back in the practice. Even if it’s meaningless journaling pumping into a cell phone touchscreen. I headed back up to the mountain to charge my devices, poach a shower, and do…brownsocks in # travel • 5 days ago • 5 min readDay 7 - Solstice and Campfires(For some reason I have been unable to upload pictures to Blurt for the past few hours so for now here’s text. Hoping to edit when I can) Still being able to see at 10pm is something special. I am much more inclined to night time and normally can’t wait for the sun to start disappearing and the creeping presence of the dark.

I was a little nervous about my decision, but after just a few days I am so sold on this thing. On Friday I loaded up as much free ice as I could from the motel, threw all the various trash bags and reusable grocery bags full of my unorganized belongings into the van, and headed out of Portland. I looked for the…brownsocks in # travel • 9 days ago • 3 min readDay 4 - Still Portland, New Van!First and foremost, I take back the kudos I gave the SyFy channel. Since the first two hammers they showed, they’ve only played Harry Potter. Not even all the movies either, just like the same 3 over and over and out of order. Anyways. I did it. I bought the van I wanted. I’m still in awe over how spontaneous and fast the last 36 hours…brownsocks in # travel • 10 days ago • 5 min readDay 3 - Portland, Oregon!Alright. Big, bold and impulsive decisions being made here. I’m pulling the trigger. Time to buy a van. I woke up in my Subaru this morning in a nice park a friend recommended to me as a car camping spot. I immediately said, ok, let’s get this moving. After 3-4 attempts at getting out of the trunk due to broken rib pain, I went for a walk…brownsocks in # travel • 11 days ago • 3 min readWhat’s better than moving?Moving with broken ribs! On the last stretch of moving out of my apartment, I managed to break some ribs in a very dumb manner. The weekend push was absolutely horrid. I couldn’t sit, stand, breathe, cough, laugh, fart… you name it. lol. BUT I had no choice but to push through it. I was being threatened by eviction etc and I don’t…solves in Blurt LifeStyle • 12 days ago • 3 min readThe "Always On" Trap: How I Cured My Digital Distraction and Reclaimed My FocusHey friends!
