the ranger diaries update

The cabuerator needs to be rebuilt, and I need mirrors, a grille, and a pair of headlights and it should be in running shape by then. From there, I fix up the interior and put in a bedliner. If it all goes down, that pickup will be the nicest looking vehicle I've owned in about 8 years.

I've never had any problems with driving jalopies, as long as they run well. My current POS runs very well and gets decent interstate mileage, too bad the drivers-side windows don't roll up. I guess I need to take care of that before Winter. I've decided against trying to retro-fit it with A/C for right now. I've gone a long time without it and I can live without it for the time being.

how much sand?

Although I glad I'm in school, I regret waiting so long to go back. I'm not a young man anymore and I'm tired most of the time. I eat to keep calories in my body, usually on the road. Sometimes I wonder if I will make it through.

I seem to be most successful when I don't think too much about what I'm doing. I just do what I know needs to be done.

I'm trying to find a midground during my school days, to discover there is none to be had. There are only my needs and no time for wants. I don't even know why I'm feeling so down right now, I knew this was going to be the way everything was going to happen.

I get happy when I imagine myself marching for my degree. Chances are by that time, you won't march at all. You'll go listen to a speech and go home.

I'll take what I can get.

I feel so many things changing in my life, some of them I'm not too sure I like.

dandelions

I like dandelions. A tough little flower, just a weed to most. I've seen one grow in a crack between pavement in a parking lot and thrive. You just have to respect that kind of resilience.

dreams......

I had a long day at the service station. I tend to daydream there. I pass the time by thinking about how nice it will be in two years, after school. I will have completed my 5 year goal....about a year later than expected, but I didn't for see everything that would happen. I think about my little home in the country, Summer vacations that are eventful(in a good way). I dream of a home and family.

It's amazing how someone else's dream can become your own. Sometimes I wonder what my dreams were. Did I ever really have any?
