Name Change

Mom has decided to change the name of this blog since I no longer live with them. 

She has also decided that new camper gets to be the main guy. 

What a let down, *I* want to be the main guy!!

She said she's going to keep posting pictures of my cousins that she sees so that's cool. Here is one that was at the Port Townsend ferry terminal last week, waiting to go on the ferry to Coupeville.

And here's the new guy on his own truck.

He needs a name and a LOT of work. Since he is home now Mom said she can begin fixing him up.

Strangers Visited

Today some strangers came to my cave to visit. Mom was with them and told them all about me, from when I was living under Grandpa's deck till now. I don't know what they were here for; They opened all my hidey spots & the man looked under my belly! Mom told them all about my new cushions Jane made for me and 'bout the hissing when we were camping at Gray Land. Dad keeps saying he's going to make me stop hissing.

I'm back in the cave again with Mus Tang and Miata. Miata still gets to go with Mom all the time while us other two just wait here. 

Another long winter is on its way.

Another Brother

Mom brought home another brother for me and he's small, like me. His name is Chevy Metro but Mom said we will call him Egg.

Egg was born in 1998.

Egg came with jewelry.

I'm jealous, mom hasn't given me any jewels.

Mom went shopping for him and he got new swipers for his eyes.

Dad gave me my feets back.

 

They are shiny white!

 

They were icky but he cleaned them up

 

Dad said he wants my white walls to show.

I don't know what white walls are.

I have walls around me and my tops are white

so maybe that's what dad means too?

 

Mom noticed there are a couple scratches on my white feets from the 'chine that put the tires on.

 

Dad says that can be fixed.

Dad moved me out of the front yard to the back yard, by the big beast place. There are little beasts around there too, many of them, they cluck and cackle all the time.

 

 

I must say, my outsides are looking really good since Dad put that

stuff on me.

I've been sitting outside for a month and not faded at all.

But my windows are nice and clear

and my door closes all the way.

 

But he took my feets off me!

Dad, how am I supposed to get around without my feets?

 

My insides got a bit shook up when Dad hooked up Lawn Tractor to pull me back here.

 

I wish Mom would put my new floor stuffs in me because this goofy green is ugly.

Wait, somethings wrong

Today Dad suddenly got me filled with stuff, bottled water and a bunch of boxes and he hooked me up to the Escape. I was all excited, I thought I was going places.

Then out onto the road, Wheeeeeeeee!

We drove right past the freeway entrance and that surprised me, where were we headed? He took me a little ways farther and turned up a dirt road. He pulled me through some grass and then Mom was there too. Then they opened up another cave and pushed me inside.

So I'm sitting here in another dark and dreary cave, all alone and have no idea what I did to get in trouble like this.

I hope they come back and visit.

Fill 'Er Up

Mom has been coming inside me and putting bag after bag of stuff inside me, then leaving. Its all new stuff, she says its for the new cave Mom & Dad are going to be living in. I wonder if any of the new stuff is for inside me?

I'm kind of anxious to see my own new cave...

Rain, Rain, Go Away

Today its raining cats & dogs outside.

 

But I am cozy and dry in this awesome cave; I can see all around myself

and its not all dark and lonely.

 

From my front eyes you can see how hard its pouring out there.

 

Oh goodness, one of those cats leaked into me!

New Cave

As promised, Mom and Dad cleaned out a new cave for me and Dad rolled me in yesterday. Just in time too because it started raining last night.

 

It looks a lot like my previous home with Grandma & Grandpa C., where I lived for 23 years.

I will admit I do look a lot better than I did one year ago.

 

What the heck is

that thing?

 

I don't looks so good. I need another bath and a good wax job.

 

I still need a few parts but I can be patient.

 

Mom still hasn't found me a new door knob.

 

Here is my new wrap, I can't wait to get it put up but I want Mom to do it right,

the first time.

So it's going to be sitting right here inside me until she has her ducks in a row.

 

But what are ducks? Are they like those beasties that came inside me this summer?

 

I have just enough head room to put my top up.

And that's where my new wrap will be.

 

 

 

See my one waxed spot that Dad did a long time ago? It's still a little shiny

but not a whole lot. I think living in this cave will be good for me.

 

Here's some funny gossip.

I just learned what gossip is! Mom was sitting inside me gossiping with Grandma B. about Behemoth and I was eavesdropping.

 

Anyway, they took him to that other country for the weekend and when he came back, he kicked the fence. Now the fence is broken and Behemoth has a scratch.

Mom wasn't too happy about it, now there is more work for Dad to do, fixin' that fence.

Wrapper News

Jane came again today and this time she left my new wrapper here, inside me. Mom didn't take any pictures and I'm very disappointed in her for that. Ugh!
But my new wrap looks wonderful and I hope hope hope that I can start wearing it very soon. Wouldn't it be cool if Mom put it on me tomorrow?

I overheard Mom and Dad talking about moving me but I don't know where, it better not be back into that dark cave; even though Mus Tang was a cool guy to hang with during the long, cold, dark winter. Wherever I go I hope Mom will visit more than she did last winter.

Remember Behemoth?

He got to go on a road trip with my grandparents. He is going out of this country! Grandma & Grandpa are taking him on an adventure to Canada for a wedding.
I wonder who he's getting to marry?

Mom got word today...

...that my new wrapper is coming home tomorrow! Jane will bring it here for me at 4pm.

I. CAN'T. WAIT.

Jane Was Here!

Jane was here again today and Mom gave her the new vinyl to make me a new wrapper. I'm so excited, just can't wait for my top to be done.

Mom said don't hold my breath, she might not even get it onto me till next spring.

 

There is off white vinyl for the outer wrapper, clear for the windows and screen stuff to keep the bugs out. I do not like bugs.



Behemoth

My grandparents went to the Stokes Auction and brought this huge

behemoth

1983 Wanderlodge with 140k miles

here to live with us, or he is at least sitting in front of me in my yard. He is so big and I am so small.

 

Here is the living area, this couch is across from the sink.

 

This is the cockpit. Notice the phone?

 

Dinette

 

Shower. Lan can stand in it.

 

Other side of the bathroom. Notice the phone?

 

Bedroom. Lots of mirrors, tiny drawers and storage everywhere.

And buttons and lights, EVERYWHERE.

Notice the phone?

 

If you lay down on the bed & reach up, more buttons.

 

Small TV & VCR. Yup, VCR. I'm sure they work.

 

Central Vac!!

 

Looking forward.

 

That stuff on the floor is just more stuff they brought home.

 

See, more lights and buttons.

Back Eyes

Dad worked on my back eyes and they are bright & shiny now. Here's what he did.

 

These are what I had all my life.

 

The new back eyes are LED. Dad wanted to make them fit me, not ADD them to me.

So he took them apart.

 

He took their eye lids off and took out their guts.

 

After grinding some extra stuff off them he said they were good.

 

This is that my guts used to look like.

 

And my eye lids; they were old and hazy.

 

Dad buffed them all up shiny!

 

Then he used this sticky stuff to put my new eye guts in the old eye lids.

 

LOOK, aren't they nice and brilliant now?!?!

 

Dad shined up these ones too, can you see a difference here between the left and right?

 

They area all bright and shiny now but without the blue car hooking up to me Mom can't get a picture. Dang.

 

In other news, Jane sent Mom a message, she's working on my guts and it all seems to be going well. No pictures yet.
