Velvet Underground

Damn. My roots are getting baaad. And I meant to call the salon today to set up an appointment, buuut I lost track of time and now it's too late! I guess I'm going to be wearing hats this week? Unless I can get in tomorrow or Sunday...

Today I had on four different outfits, and actually at this very moment I'm wearing something else. I had my hair done three different ways today too. So indecisive! The weather was indecisive too. It was raining this morning and now it's sunny and warm. I guess I'm taking cues from the weather now.

Little Bit is totally pissed that I'm forcing her to be in my photos. Lately she doesn't want to hang out with me! I'm bummed. I think I need to get a Jack Russell for my Brave trip. They are just such good dogs. My Dad would kill me if I stole Little Bit though. Maybe I should get a Jack Russell puppy this summer and then by the time we go on the trip, she'll be trained? Who knows. Having an unruly dog could make the trip annoying, but having a good dog could make it amazing! What if my dog gets car sick? That's no good. My friend had a German Shepherd who would get car sick all the time, but not when I drove him. I think a Brave is too small for a big ol' German Shepherd though.

It's Business Time

Ugh, I finally have a day to myself! Off to answer emails, take photos, and do other business related activities... you know what that means... It's business time...




P.S. Kill me now. This Brave was posted TODAY, and it already sold. :(

Well, she wasn't the one, folks. It was a hard decision. She had a perfect interior, ran great, had an amazing floor plan, was the perfect length, drove like a dream, but all in all it just ended up to be more of a project winne than a journey winne. I'm okay with it being a project. Actually, I'm in favor of it being a project, but this one was too much and I'm afraid it would've become a bottomless pit of project. The main issue (and the deal-breaker): bad roof. It was sagging in the back and there was some leakage, which caused the plywood underneath to swell and cause the roof to essentially kind of "delaminate." A good roof is a must. I was afraid that if we tried to take off the roof and fix it, it'd become one of those things where you take the roof off to fix and then find something else to fix, and then something else and so on. Plus, a roof replacement is thousands. And it needed new tires, new batteries, a heater.. just a bunch of little things that really add up. And... it wasn't actually a Brave. I didn't realize it initially because some crazy person spray painted over the original green side stripes to make them blue and in the process, erased where it said "INDIAN" on the side. I did like this layout a LOT though, so I may have to do some fudging on the Brave part (if I find another 1975 23' Indian) and just pretend that an Indian is a Brave.

Through this all, I've learned a lot about what I want and need, though. I kinda feel like it was a relationship (though short-lived). We went out, had some good times, and then decided that we weren't right for each other. We both needed different things out of the relationship and it was too much work on my part. But coming out of it, I learned a lot about who I am and what I want in a relationship (Brave). So, I've learned a lot about the different floor plans of the different lengths and models, and as of right now, I'm gunning for a '76 Brave 26 ft, a '75 Indian 23 ft (which was the one I just passed on), or a 73 Brave/Indian (20 ft/22ft respectively).

Gotta be original interior. Gotta flaunt the flying "W." I'll find you, darling... you're out there somewhere.

With all this winnebago-ing I've not had time to do regular posting. I'll get the winner of the Appareil Photo giveaway up later tonight after work!

I wish making important decisions wasn't so damn difficult.
