I think what I'm going to do is install my rearview camera on the back of the little Bronco pop-up while I'm on my upcoming shakedown cruise.

I have found that when I'm going places I have lots of free time to do the things I enjoy doing. And when I'm traveling, due to my one track mind, my truck and whatever I'm living in are more interesting to me because my life is revolving around them when I'm traveling. So installing the rearview camera will be something I'm more interested in doing then than I am at the moment, and I'll have plenty of time to do the install since I'll have no other commitments.

I wish I wasn't like that, I wish I did things based on how badly they need being done, but unfortunately I do things based on how much I want to do them and not how important they are. While living a normal life this causes all kinds of problems but somehow I've managed to survive and reach a point in my life where I'm able to, for the most part, just do the things I enjoy doing and put off the things I don't, or in some cases just let them slide on by.

Another beautiful day in Denver but it's supposed to rain off and on for the next three days which is why I decided not to go anywhere until next week.

I filled up one of my propane tanks this morning at $3.87 a gallon. I wish propane wasn't so expensive in Denver, but then again lots of things are expensive in Denver.

It seems to me it's been raining an awful lot in Denver or at least more than I remember. But that's the way it was all Winter, everywhere I went it seemed to be raining a lot so at least it's consistent.

Today was a beautiful day so I went to Walmart this morning and picked up a few things to put in the little Bronco pop-up. Just standard things like paper plates and bowls, plastic spoons and forks, some canned food, things I can leave in the camper so I don't have to remember to put things like that in when I decide to take a trip. I try to keep my mini-vacation checklist as small as possible so I can leave in an hour if I want to.

Now I wouldn't do that of course, because unlike when I'm traveling in the winter and my comings and goings only affect me. Here In Denver if I decide to do something it affects other people so I try to make plans ahead of time.

The Walmart is about 5 miles away from me and most of that 5 miles is on a four-lane 65 mph Highway which is the fastest that the little Bronco has gone with me at the wheel. It handled just fine, in fact other than being a little slower to stop I really couldn't tell the pop-up was back there.

I've set a tentative departure date for next Monday as my mini-vacation, shakedown cruise. Which means that if I don't have any problems it will be a mini-vacation, and if I do it will be a shakedown cruise. I'm thinking everything should be okay, because the little Bronco is so simple there's just not much that can go wrong. But I believe the captain of the Titanic said something similar to that just before the lookout yelled....ICEBURRRRG.
