My life sucks. My employer gave me a promotion and an $8000 raise. So here I am at a job I really don’t care much for letting my dreams pass me by. Why? Money, security, I don’t know, it is the responsible thing to do I guess. I find that in most of my adventures I’m alone. There are always people who will lend a word of encouragement but when you really need someone to come buy and take you kicking and screaming to the adventure of your life ……….
I’m that guy to others but where is that guy/girl for me? Life is like a flowing river full of people most are just floaters. Some are drowning. Yet a few are swimming hard ageist the current to get a head. The problem is the floaters wont get out of your way and the drowning are grabbing you pulling you down with them. Just to find the struggle of your life barely move you a head at all.

I spoke with my friend George Corby last night a he told me he was game for the trip. We agreed on 1/1/07, we are leaving Merrimac, WI.

Here it is! I asked my friends if any of them would travel with me to Patagonia and they have all told me that I have lost my mind. I searched the web and came up with the following links below:

After a lot of reading I’m more motivated than ever. I took the old truck for a test run and she runs great. I have spoken with my mechanic and personal friend and apparently there is a kit I can install to allow the truck to run off E85 and tradition fuel as well. I have yet to set a date but I’m pushing for early 2007. Too soon maybe? I’m also looking for travel partners. Any one that is interested please contact me.
