I've already begun talking with Danno about connections in Valentine for work and lodging because if I stay here it won't end well. I'm not going to lie, there's a part of me that thinks personal mechanic to the biker club that run seattle is like the most punk rock thing this side of literally being GG Alin, and is trying desperately to find a way to justify the risk

Prospects are multi-year freshman fraternity hazing victims, in the hopes of maybe being let in, some day. You are fix-it bitch and are 100% the first thing thrown under the bus when poo poo goes sideways. All this is just talk, though. 14" already knows what he needs to do.

Oh I know. It's also nice to know that although I don't always technically obey the law, even with a gun in my face my personal moral code didn't bend around it.

Also, as the fix-it guy, he'd be a potential co-conspirator if the gang got up to anything nefarious and there was anything on their bikes he'd have known about but didn't report. The "hidden compartments" auto customizer case comes to mind. Working at the NAPA store in Valentine, living in a house, mowing a yard and planting flowers and playing with Rosie is a pretty good life. Raising some kids would make it even better. Being square and straight and boring has lots of advantages.

I made a call to town and apparently there has been a position open at a tire shop for a couple months. I messaged 14 that he needs to call them today!

Goons can probably help you work your way out of that catch 22 as long as you GTFO of PacNW ASAP and take Rosie with you.

1. Crowd funding from home will get you to Valentine. 2. Job there will sustain you and you can save some for the next leg of the journey after that. 3. Truck is not going to be a quick, bang, boom, done kind of affair. You'll have time to 'reboot' then continue the adventure as a refreshed man with a mission.

Why the gently caress would you leave valentine to move to Orlando? The tire shop will end up paying you enough that you will be living very comfortably if you keep yourself straight man. What business is going to hire someone just to leave 2 months later? If that is the case I know some water well digging operations that might be interested. They pay really really good too.

I could probably get you a job in Orlando, Dave, but it'd be HVAC and involve working in the sun all day. Seriously dude, take the offer, go back to Valentine, and get yourself situated. The truck is no rush. It survived up there for 70 years, I'm sure one more won't end it. poo poo, I'm sure after getting yourself situated there you could probably be running your own shop in a few years. It's not like you're not a local celebrity already.

The impression I got was that "going to orlando" was simply Dave wanting to drive the truck there and not necessarily Dave wanting to live there.

Checking in with support of previous statements: 1. I will contribute materially to the "get away from the bad motorcycle mans" project. 2. Having lived in Orlando, it's not a place to live if you are worried you will be kill by demons. There are plenty of demons. Also, palmetto bugs. 3. I will assist as I am able with the "get the truck to Orlando" project as well, as long as there is another place for Dave to go that is not full of demons. Or spiders.

Too late to say don't get involved with the clubs mate, but take the advice and the help you're offered. Personal detox time is necessary but it's a lot easier to do that driving to Valentine with rosie than it is working on some cunts bike while they play with guns. I'll throw in on the paypal if that ends up happening too, by the way. As far as the rest of the help goes you've got people offerin to store your poo poo, help set you up with work etc. Take them up on it and get out before you end up somewhere you don't want to be.

De-lurking again to say Hey Dave, I bought a jar of your namesake hot sauce off JaquelineDempsey because of your thread and drat, man. You're insane drinking that poo poo. I'm learning more about cars than I expected, and enjoyed last year's Truck thread, and would quite enjoy if the ending involved you getting a job and settling down in Valentine. If that's not what the universe has in store for you, well. That's ok too. But it's sounding like Seattle isn't very good for you, and seeing as how you're saying you'd like to take better care of yourself... anywhere has to be better than there. Also pet Rosie for me.  dat catte best catte.
