CURRENT MISSION.....12-01-2021

Hi.....it's been a long while since I've been on here...currently I'm about to head back to the Northwest

It's been a long year and I'm ready to get back west...I'm traveling with my very chill cat, "Restop"and a truck full of tools ....Not in a hurry to get back to the "Northwet" during winter.....going with the flow and would like to spend some some time in the southwest and then head up the west coast...I am on a tight budget and open to work opportunities , a place to stay for a few days , a day, a month.,,,,,,,,,,,,make a few new friends and see some new places ... feel adventurous and fresh again...It's been awhile...

I'm fully vaccinated .
I'm extremely left, strive to be a conscious being , socially, racially ,politically and environmentally awake...accepting of all genders, races and everything in between,,

PHILOSOPHY

Live with love and compassion and you will feel love and compassion. With adventure...take risks! And enjoy the simple pleasures.

You will never change the dominant paradigm by fighting against it . Only by creating alternatives will you eventually make it obsolete.

I know, easier said than done eh.....
