 Hello Everyone |
May 1, 2008 9:20 am
Mood: adventurous, 161 Views | Once again I have changed my friend finder name. This time it reflects the events that are happening in my life. I have chosen wander_in_star as my name here. I would have liked to have used wanderin star, but that ID was already taken. 
So from now until I leave this will be my new name.  | |

| A new sign idea |
May 10, 2008 10:36 am
Mood: adventurous, 54 Views | This idea came to me this morning as I was on my bike heading to my storage unit. Let's see what you think.
"Please Help. Working my way to Yellowstone, Wyoming."
The last time I was at Yellowstone National Park was in 1966. I remember this because it was at the same time that St. Louis had baseball All-Star game. I was 12 years old at that time and do not remember to much about Yellowstone. Right now I am thinking that I may never have a chance to get up there again in my life. So, why not do it now.  | |

| Had to open the window just a little wider |
May 10, 2008 10:27 am
Mood: adventurous, 52 Views |  | Yesterday I ordered my tent from the Walmart Web site. No store in the area had a small size tent. Now the delivery time will be between May 20 and May 28. I hope that it will be the sooner date but will have to wait and see.  |

| A balancing act |
May 10, 2008 10:23 am
Mood: adventurous, 59 Views | It was 14 inches long, 14 inches wide and 14 inches high. When I got it to the post office this morning it weighed 29 pounds 8.4 ounces. Nothing in the box was real heavy. The heaviest things was a Bible that I received when I was 8 years old.
You should have seen me carrying it on the front of my bike for the mile and a half from my storage unit to the post office. Now I did my best to weave as little as possible but when you have something that is really to big to fit in your bike basket you are bound to do some weaving.
Another thing checked off of my list of things I have to do before I get out of here.  | |

| Zoom there it goes |
May 9, 2008 9:38 am
Mood: aggravated, 62 Views | | I was on my bike heading down to my storage locker to get some things out to send to my sister to hold for me. I stopped at a street and then crossed it. In the middle of the street my bike pedal without any advance warning went flying off. I had my bike only for four days now when this happened. So, I took it back to Walmart. They replaced the pedal and also the back wheel gear as the guy that fixes bikes there determined that it was defective as well. Now it looks like it will rain and I will put off going down to the storage shed until the weather clears up. | |

| A Long Way from Chicago |
May 9, 2008 9:33 am
Mood: cheerful, 61 Views | A Long Way from Chicago is a children's "novel in stories" by Richard Peck. It was awarded the Newbery Honor distinction in 1999.
_________________________________________________
That means that it was written for children to read but after hearing all these commercials on the radio about it I decided to read it myself. The stories are short and amusing. The last one will bring a tear to your eyes. At least it did to me. | |

| New shoes today |
May 8, 2008 11:08 am
Mood: adventurous, 74 Views | | My old shoes were at the stage were they were starting to fall apart. So, I went out and got me new pair. Had to go to three stores before I got what I wanted. Finally got them at KMART. The next thing is a new tent for my journey. It will be smaller than the one I have. None of the stores carried what I wanted and had to check Walmarts web site for it. Now to go to the local Walmart and use their site to site option. It is supposed to be in stock. I just have to see if it truly is and how long it will take to get here. | |

| Was at Good Will this morning |
May 7, 2008 8:18 am
Mood: cheerful, 93 Views | | Now that it is getting close to time for me to leave I am starting to get rid of some stuff. Today it was a bunch of clothes that are now to big for me to wear. So, I loaded them on my bike and took them down to the local Good Will store. I still have some shorts that I call my clown shorts. They are to big for me to wear and will be taking them down soon. I just didn't have room on my bike today to do it. | |
