Jesus Christ what happened in here  Ok, so once again, if anyone is interested in sending supplies, or funds out there, you can PM me here, or email me here; explodingsims2@gmail.com, and I'll give you the address or paypal address. Do note that if you're planning on sending money, he won't be able to use it until he gets a new card out there, which will take at least a week. Also, if you're buying anything from Amazon, don't bother paying extra for one day shipping, it takes at least 4-6 days for anything to get out there.

 Hey man - you may be doing this right at this moment, but please remember to stay focused on the bottom (the jokes write themselves) and you'll get to the top in short order. What you told me in the car re: (paraphrased) "I'm all about the presentation" stuck with me; it's what AI loves about you - you're an entertaining smart guy and that's hugely endearing. With that said, time to do the hard work before you back to the self-gratification. If you can gently caress with that truck all last winter there shouldn't be anything preventing you from figuring out the camper's roof mechanism and getting the stove and heater working. If the two of us could get the roof halfway up with the engine hoist holding one side at 2:30am in the rain, I know you can crawl under that beast (which is totally safe - nothing is going to collapse on you from underneath) and figure out what's wrong and how to fix it. Dangerous is relative - even if the roof came down completely, the beds are completely outside the roof and you'll be fine. I'm confident you can repair it without ruining it. You have the title in hand to permanent shelter for the foreseeable future without being dependent on further handouts, and that's a really powerful ace to have up your sleeve. For the rest of the thread, the camper is otherwise in pretty good shape. It was clean inside, the canvas isn't ripped, and the appliances presumably work. Likewise with the bike - it was in complete and perfect working order on Friday, and I also bought a little bottle of good lubricant for it that should be in the trash bag box, so Dave, please keep the Panther Piss away from perfectly good things that have no rust, such as the bike. Please make good choices! We're all rooting for you! Get 'er done.

On the subject of basic needs, are there plans to get Dave to a dentist? Chronic tooth pain is absolutely debilitating and miserable. While full treatment is probably a bit beyond our reach, he needs to get evaluated and his teeth stabilized, at least.

Understood - based on my limited understanding of the Medicaid system you will likely need to sign up in Nebraska. Is there anything I can do to help you on this front? I know from helping another gent that it's a bureaucratic and annoying process, but if we could get you some care in Valentine that's going to go a long way to getting you feeling better. Looks like much of it may be by phone? Possibly start here tomorrow? http://dhhs.ne.gov/Children_Family_Services/AccessNebraska/Pages/accessnebraska_index.aspx

Don't jump on people for expressing opinions, folks. We're all invested in this and that makes us emotional but that doesn't mean we can dogpile someone for what amounts to a rather mundane criticism.

I grew up camping in a pop-up trailer like that for much of my youthful years, and if you can get it fixed up a bit I bet you'll be surprised how much you like it. Ours was an offroad model with a more solid beam axle, clearance and larger tires. I have fond memories of my dad struggling to set it up while I tried to help - they are lethal finger-pinchers until you get the hang of them, but are surprisingly comfy and ours stood up to some pretty strong desert winds over the years. Tremek is a cool-rear end dude for getting you one!

Dave: Looks like there's at least one dental practice below in Valentine that takes Medicaid: http://sandhillsfamilydental.com/financial-and-insurance-information/ Also looks like there's a Medicaid office actually in Valentine:  Looks like a 3 mile, 18 minute bike ride and it's right on your way into town off of 83. PS, my wife went and looked this up and is now both reading the thread and emotionally invested in your continued well-being, so I'm gonna layer on some emotional baggage to take care of yourself.  @Elephanhead: Good find, yes the camper is a Coleman Royale, title said 1985 but it looks like the designs are more or less the same over all years. For the bike folks, the bike is a 2008 Trek 7500, 20" frame. That page indicates it came with 700x35c stock tires? Other stuff I brought up for Dave that I can remember: 2 x 10-meal Mountain House meal boxes 2 x big tins of dried fruit Some Nutrigrain bars 2 x big 7 gallon water containers A medium-heavy insulated puffy-style XL jacket Insulated winter work gloves 2 x pair heavy winter socks Brand-new Camping toilet LED head lamp - takes AAAs - he has a bunch LED Coleman-style camping lamp - takes AAs - I brought him a 48-pack of AAs If all else fails - a solar-charged LED inflatable camping lamp Trash bags Case of toilet paper Costco bag of microfiber towels 2x spare (empty) propane tanks - I forgot to get these filled in the tire-changing chaos, but he now has 3 total propane tanks including the one that came on the camper. So while not a complete and infinitely sustainable setup, it's what I could pull together on short notice. *** per Dave, breaking news: Dave's original bike & box just arrived in North Platte. Who has ideas on how to use some social engineering to get Greyhound to deliver it to Dave, as opposed to him attempting to undertake a long and arduous journey to retrieve it?

I'm glad to see things have been turning around here. Dave, I'll keep this short: I totally can appreciate your strong strong urge to drop everything and grab your stuff, especially given that it is YOUR property and that greyhound has given you poo poo. HOWEVER, PLEASE LET PEOPLE TRY TO HELP YOU TO DO THIS RATHER THAN GOING ALONE. If you come back to valentine and all the nice stuff/general set up Tremek has given you is stolen or broken or messed up or what have you, having your bike and hammock isn't going to be as good of a situation as you're in now. Edit: not sure to generally word what I'm trying to say, but just don't do anything insanely rash so you get put between a rock and hard place- lord knows you've been there too many times.

Dors dave know anyone in town? Maybe put the word out that if anyone is going to north platte, he'd chip in for gas money for a round trip. I (and I'm sure others) would be willing to help. Other option: is it at that gas station? If someone sent them a fedex ground label would they be willing to slap it on? If so and we know the box size, we can probably get it bike flighted for a few bux (I'm guessing like 30). Now that I think about it, that would be the better idea if we can get the size of the box. Edit: bike flights is $50 plus insurance (assumes a standard large bike box and 65lbs), will take 3 days, which is a bit long, but it is fedex not greyhound so less places to go wrong. I can email the shipping label to anyone. nm fucked around with this message at 21:24 on Sep 10, 2017 |
