Well, JG and the posse got some wins this week.

My floor in the kitchen, living, and bathroom area is done, sealed, and ready for the shorter posse to be in me. And the humans tracking in and out.

Tuc, JG got his new Unanchored community TUC site built and ready to open.

JG got my sister, Vanna the 1999 Ford Windstar van, fixed. It’s used to go get materials so they don’t have to load inside of me. Vanna had almost quit running. JG thought it was time to park her, but while checking under the hood, he heard a sucking sound. Come to find out, there was a major vacuum line split. I’m finally running good. I been taking the posse on their trips to town and Trade Day, and I’m getting 12 mpg nowadays.

JG is back to painting. Slow, but painting. He will be posting the new study paintings on TAD soon. He did some updates on the TAD site.

JG and Kathy Rose are taking some personal time. They’re doing a real fun photo shoot, dressing up like Bonnie and Clyde. A local photographer ran an ad on Facebook: $65 for a couple, and the photographer has the car and props. JG got Kathy Rose a new dress and accessories for the photos. JG will be posting the photos when they get them.

Spent time with new friends James and Annette. They invited JG and Kathy Rose to sell art at Trade Day at their booth.

Good health report 3 months check-up for JG and Kathy Rose, that’s always good.

Pp out!

Jg says we will do a post on the build status soon with lots photos!

​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!

​I Miss Pp; Was a good girl today. I took Jg and Kathy Rose to the movies. They went to see the new movie, Michael.

​Spoiler alert! ⚠️

​Jg said he will try not to give anything away, but he can’t promise.

​Jg Said:
“The movie was very well produced; I love the music selection. Michael’s nephew, who played him, was very good—you could see the family bloodline in him. Michael really seemed to have a good heart and loved his fans. The charity work he did in the movie really touched me.

​At the beginning of the movie, I was really moved and triggered by my past. My father loved his belt and ruled with a strong hand as we traveled across the Southeast in a bus and preaching tent. He had to keep us in line. He would beat me for no reason; I never spoke back to him or was a bad kid. So, I feel a kinship to MJ there. All in all, the movie is well worth seeing if you love music, love talent, and want a behind-the-scenes story.

​Ty 😊 Dr. Eric and Tammy Lee for your recommendation.”

​“Remember, things don’t look as detrimental looking back as the act felt harmful in the moment!”

​Ok, Pp out.

Hello my PP peeps!

Well, Mr. JG, Miss Kathy Rose, and yours truly, PP the Van, went out on our first date night. JG drove us to the famous Guntersville Lake in Guntersville, Alabama.

It was a **beautiful** night; the weather was just right at 75° around sundown. The three “shorter posse”—Tippy, Louie, and Raz—stayed home in Vincent at my brother, the shuttle bus tiny home. He don’t run, so he has to stay home, ha ha ha!

JG and Kathy Rose went to see the **Tequila Falls** band at the new Pier 1939 Bar & Grill.

Kathy Rose did her nails, even her toes. JG dyed his goatee, and he gave me a bath.

Tequila Falls sounded real good from the parking lot! I couldn’t go inside with them… something about being too big, lol.

JG and Kathy Rose had some beers (Coronas) and the loaded sidewinders topped with queso cheese, jalapeños, and bacon. JG removed the jalapeños; he said “too hot” for him.

It was a good night out and a well-deserved break from all the hours JG and Kathy Rose have been putting in building me and repairing my running parts. Yes, I was a good girl—I didn’t throw even one fit!

 

“A break is good even when time is not plentiful.”
