A Message from Pp the Van
Well, May is almost gone. Jg says he’s always heard that “April showers bring May flowers.” Back when he was a kid living in Tennessee, that was true—but here in Northeast Alabama, it’s more like May showers bring May flowers. Am I just remembering it wrong? Did you guys grow up hearing that?
The Man Behind the Wheel
That Jg is a “working fool”—yes, I called him a fool, lol! He has to stay busy, or he gets in his head way too much. Between the PTSD from his past and his anxiety, the worries all come rushing in if he sits still. He’s trying to manage a healthy lifestyle balance of work, rest, and play. It’s hard on someone like Jg, who has always been a “get-er-done right now” kind of person.
Progress Report
With the weather and his health, my progress has slowed down some, but it’s okay—he’s still steadily getting me done.
- Flooring: He finished the kitchen and living area floor!
- Audio: He got a sound system installed in my cab. He needs that music; it’s his therapy!
Rain or Shine: The New Projects
This last week of May is all rain here in Northeast Alabama. Jg is spending a lot of time organizing the storage RV for supplies and tools, moving everything from the outside carport tent into the RV.
He’s also keeping his mind sharp by working on:
- The PPT Posse Journey Blog
- Tad: His art blog.
- TUC: A new online/offline community for nomads and people who feel secluded from religion or family because of their lifestyle choices.
TUC is really going to help him open up about his life and beliefs. It’s a way for him to find his tribe and help others find theirs. Stay tuned—TUC is coming soon!
”Even in the dreary rain, you can see the light of day.“
