Omfg rain

Such a long day in the truck with all this cold forking rain. At least I got a shower.

They knocked it down!

Okay, for those of us in Minnesota's Northern metro area... I was shocked to come across this today.

The old Target building off Coon Rapids Blvd. near Arby's and that little strip mall that held the best cake shop ever created ...

I miss their frosting SO much!!!

Okay, so anyhow, nextish to this there was a Target for the longest time, probably one of the first in the Northern Metro... Granted it closed down some years ago and had been a few things since... it's gone! All gone! And the parking lot is even gone! Here are a few pics I got, but with the sun/clouds/rain and the fact that it was just my phone camera none of them are great.

Just thought I'd share. Oh and yes, I am still homeless.

Sad!

This was once Target and it's parking lot

Soft little rainstorms

Are friggen scary loud when they wake you up at 4:30am. - I have since figured out what freaked me out so much about the rain... Apparently Stephen stepped out of the truck to relieve himself and it started to rain so he jumped back in the truck fast slamming the door behind him. So it was really the door slam that startled me lol. Men :P.

Not that this isn't fun and all

But give me a break. Wake up, change into your least worn clothes, find a "public" restroom. Use the toilet and wash everything you can at the sink. (Depending Of course on how public the restroom is.)

Find and park in shade (which is of course fleeting) and open something non-perishable for breakfast even though you would much rather be still rubbing your eyes and pouring a big bowl of Reeses Puffs with skim milk.

Once you're done eating, clean up the truck if you didnt already before bed and find a way to occupy yourself.

I can relate to the line in Zombie Land where they don't want to use the S H O W E R word. Only I am not surrounded by Zombies. Meh.

Another thing for the wish list...

Bandaids... This thing HURTS. Steve made a makeshift bandage out of a tampon...

He made it black and white so it doesn't look so gross. I will get an after pic when it stops stinging like a &$%*#.

Nighttime in the truck...

It's a bit scary, especially when it comes to figuring out where to safely park... every noise makes me jump, but it could be worse, I could not have the SUV.

The fan at night, blankets are hung for privacy.

Looking out the front of the truck. We made a shelf out of the back seats once folded.

The passenger seat holds most of our needed belongings.

Another pic out the back, I should have done these during the day. I'll get better ones in the morning.

Pictures of truck living?

We found a pond... I gathered fallen feathers.

Okay... this is just a big pile of blankets, not too exciting.

Steve rigged up a fan for me using a computer fan and the light socket thingy.

There, they're captioned. :)
