Sounds good Dennis. I was using an enclosed trailer for a bunch of my stuff.
Did I read correctly Jim that you are moving? Fresno area or are you coming up to the tech area here? Better jobs as you know but housing is high.

Yes Hank you read correctly. One of my roommates moved out and gave the landlord a 1 day notice.
I had been trying to find another roommate to fill his spot, (and his share of the rent) but was unable to. Come to find out, he did not pay last month's rent either. So the landlord had no choice but to give me, and the other roommate a 30 day notice. I don't know where I am going yet, as the only income I have is unemployment, and that does not even cover renting a room around here anymore.
My last job, which the unemployment is based on, was only a part time job, so that makes my checks very small.
My brother has a spare bedroom in his apartment in Oregon, however, if I leave the state, I lose my unemployment, and my food stamps. So that is not an option. I am sure I can restart food stamps in Oregon, but I have no work history there, so no unemployment. And to top it off, Oregon (like every state in the union) has high unemployment, so my chances of getting a job there are worse than here. Besides, I can't leave the state, if I do that who is going to be the NorCal chapter leader?
I do have my best friend here in Fresno (which is the only reason I moved here) but she is living with her boyfriend in his house. If all else fails, I may be able to stay there temporarily. I told her I would even pay hm $100 a month to let me park the Bronco in his driveway, and I'll just sleep in that. (It is surprisingly comfortable, I found out during the Pismo GTG).

Good Moon day NorCal! Oh wait, that was yesterday. I didn't see much of the eclipse, but I was outside watering the lawn. 
Hope everyone has a great day if that is even possible on a Monday.
Hank, will do, worst case scenario, I'll just take my laptop to a nearby Mc Donalds to stay in touch. Honestly don't think it will be that bad tho.
