Or, concrete.

The wagon of course is at a shop 500 miles away. For the next 2.5 weeks. I spoke to the Gary yesterday and made sure that we’re checking things like the separator plate while everything is out on the operating table.

After we hashed that through I ran the pickup over to the local garage to get its most pressing need (the ignition switch) taken care of, so I can have something to drive in the meantime, and probably to Flag at least once in to absence of the RME.

What’s leftover? The van, which we just dropped the asking price for–a bargain at $9500–mostly useful as an asset for liquidating under the current line of thinking.

The old trailer, which currently (maybe permanently) functions as a storage shed. To become an ALiner stand-in, it would need at minimum a set of tires and some exterior leak-patching work, and even at that it is a little too short to stand up in comfortably. (But then, so is an ALiner, except for when I’d be standing at the stove and kitchen sink. Context is everything.)

Behind the gate are two more pieces. There’s the rack from the pickup, which doesn’t have a function except as a temporary stand for …

The shell. Which is intended to serve an important function, by turning the pickup into a viable mini-camper, long before I can think about affording an ALiner.
