Yeah, We’re Married

Posted by jeff | Posted in Events/Parties, Resourceful Living | Posted on 08-06-2010

You saw the posting of the Engagement Session with Mr. Jonathan West, now see the real thing.

The wedding was pretty much the best wedding ever. The ceremony, held at Caspers Wilderness Park, was beautiful. A natural amphitheater, formed by a clearing in the forest and our guests, surrounded the spot where we began our lives together. The reception, thrown at our friends’ house in Orange, CA, could not have been more appropriate. A bunch of friends, celebrating a big day, together. Eating, drinking, dancing and singing. It was fantastic.

Water System – Complete?

Posted by jeff | Posted in Resourceful Living, Winnebago Experience | Posted on 17-02-2010

I’ve been living in the motorhome for over four years. In all that time, I’ve had no water pressure. I took a cold shower once, by turning on the air compressor and ducking under the drip that came from the showerhead. It was not worth it one bit. I’ve attempted to fix the entire system multiple times, all have turned up failures. It’s been a long road…and I think that I’m finally done.

Posted by jeff | Posted in Bringing Back The Hobo, Resourceful Living | Posted on 16-09-2009

These things have been popping up everywhere lately…homes for bikes, homes for shopping carts, homes to carry by hand…you name it.

Many, many people have been sending me the shopping cart pop-up lately, thus, I must post.

Being a Man

Posted by jeff | Posted in Resourceful Living, Storytelling | Posted on 11-09-2009

Junior has been quite the frustrating friend lately. Just last week on our ride back from Orange County, he started pouring coolant everywhere. Not sure how long, not sure how it started. Today, I had a flat tire.

Homeless Encampment under the 10 freeway

Posted by jeff | Posted in Bringing Back The Hobo, Resourceful Living, Video | Posted on 01-06-2009

In LA’s most recent discovery of a ‘underground’ homeless encampment, CNN brings us underneath the 10 freeway in downtown Los Angeles where the homeless have found a very “Teenage Mutant Ninja” style homestead. Apparently, 10 homeless people made this their living quarters, but it looks like many more could.

The Ten Thousand Dollar Mustache

Posted by vern | Posted in Bringing Back The Hobo, Resourceful Living | Posted on 17-05-2009

It’s an interesting thing that women will never understand. I don’t even fully get it. But it’s you’re friend. It’s there, in front, leading the way. A twirling confidante in times of introspection and a member of the Moen family.

My producer at work suggested I meet his boyfriend, a casting director in LA, saying he could help get me a commercial acting agent. Which brought me to one of those times of introspection and questioning — How much would it take, in a professional setting, for me to shave my mustache.

Dick’s Sewage

Posted by jeff | Posted in Resourceful Living, Winnebago Experience | Posted on 14-05-2009

Dick’s learned to hold in his urine. And he can hold it a long time now.

Over the time we’ve had the Winnebago, the urine stench and spot underneath the drainage tank has gotten worse and worse. So I tore it all apart. And with the help of El Toro RV Service Centers in Irvine, CA, I replaced everything.

This thing is unbelievable.

A pop-up trailer that doesn’t actually pop-up as much as it does flip-open. Like a japanese fan.

Bumcamping In Japan

Posted by jeff | Posted in Resourceful Living, Travel | Posted on 16-03-2009

Sent to us by David Markland of the LA Metblogs was this article…about living on the streets in Japan. Sounds like it would be much easier than here in LA…but you don’t have quite the luxury that we do in our Winnebago.
