One can imagine.

Haven't heard anything back from the potential buyer number... two, three?  One of them.  Nor any of the others.  If, too, I suspect they are all different voices of the same face?  Something like that.  I highly doubt if there are that many speculators.  Who knows.  Maybe.  If, like I said, the price won't be right.  And, I get it.  To one degree.  They could afford it.  It would be worth it.  But there are so many people who are just tapped out, shot, and done.  Looking for any way out, willing to sell for little or nothing.  They can't say it is the interest rates, as a problem, since they are offering cash.  No, they are... just trying to get freebies.  I get it.  Just... I won't do that.

While browsing, I ran across a few things.  I know that, should I move, I'll need to haul some of my belongings.  I may get rid of much, but I won't be tossing all of it.  So, I will either have to rent a Pods type thing, a U-haul of some sort, or... buy a trailer.  To be honest, I think the trailer would be my best bet.  Then I have something for my money.  Might not be able to get it all back, if I go to sell.  But I wouldn't need to put my stuff in a rental space, either.

If I had time, as well?  Perhaps set the Xterra up, as a living space.  Nothing fancy, but... a place.  So that, with some care and caution, I could find a place, in my time, without rushing.  Or... just be mobile for a while, until the world opens up a bit more.  A year or two, and I think the covid thing will be so gone.  No one, most likely, will even be talking about it, maybe ever again.  Even if they don't string those who perpetuated it up, they... will know.  And this won't be discussed again.  Nor will any future pandemic garner any trust, real, imagined, created, targeted, natural, it won't matter.  Trust is gone.

This seemed nifty.  Tight?  Yes.  But, with a trailer, I would have more space, room, and such.  I could see the pairing of things get me ready for some road running.  Then, more likely, I could visit mother for a bit, without too much fuss.  Without staying at anyone's house, I think they might allow me to park near their place.  If not, my visit would be short.  Yes, this.  I could see doing this.

As well, in time?  The trailer... turning it into a sleeper.  More or less fancy, if more simple to be honest.  I wouldn't need a bed.  If I wanted to sleep down, I could sleep in the Xterra.  I am thinking of using the tracking on the floor, in the one video, but on the roof.  Getting two or three of those widgets, one each end, for suspending a hammock.  Though I would definitely want my own toilet and shower.  For the toilet, though, I would probably go with a composting system, so I could use the water for drinking, food prep, and showering.  Very little if any blackwater production that way, as well.

However, I would like more cabinetry than either.  And, maybe, a smaller solar system.  Batteries are murder, for lithium, at about $1k per 100 kwh?  Or... some such.  Though, with charging from the Xterra, and a few permanently installed solar panels, two or three batteries might be quite enough?  Then I could travel a bit, while the world opens, in some sort of comfort.  Always wanted to travel.  Better than renting, especially if I can find cheap or free places to shut down for days or weeks at a time.

Yeah.

Though there are other sorts of solar.  Cheaper, easier.  Probably not all that long lasting.  But, this wouldn't be a plan for the rest of my life.  Just a year or three, until things settled.  Saving as much as possible, just... looking around the world, America, on my way out.  So this wouldn't need to last forever.  I'm guessing, if it lasts five years, that would be good.  Just... my guess, guestimate, wild assed figuring.  Well, assuming pretty frequent use.

Oh, I should get to work.  I did have eggs and corned beef hash.  Tasty.  Now I should get on to work.  Not sure how practical the possibilities are.  I have most of the tools, some of the knowledge, but it would be a lot of work for one old, ill, guy.  I would want a few more tools.  From a contractor table saw to pex tools, maybe a few others.  With the house sold, the money wouldn't be as much of an issue.  But it would be a lot of work, and there would be the material costs, and all.  So... Still, I... am thinking on it.  Possible, just not probable, if for no other reason than that the house still hasn't sold.  Can dream, while I scheme.  

Ah, to work.  More boxes to be sorted and things tossed.  I'll be taking in three or four boxes from this front room as well.  Who knows what I can get through.  But I will give it a go.  Then tinker with dishes.  And then get upstairs again.  Oh, there were a few things I looked at, which might explain the bobbin debacle.  Another set of things to try.  And I want to see if my machine has a means of allowing me to lower the dog feet.  Maybe.  I thought so, but in all the things going on, I forgot to check.  I'll check this evening.  

It sure looks like some people are no longer letting other people live in their basements?  Politics and elders don't mix.  *grins*  Later.
