Yeah buddy, Some time those "short" trips can turn into one of those long, "time comsuming" trips !!!
And All Heck Can Break Loose !!!!
Why, one time I went for a  hike,
while waiting for my "soup" to cool down,
& when I got back to my Van....
There was this Hippy Chick that had moved in.
She had redecorated the interior, moved everything around
to where I couldn't find a thing,
Took my Dingle Balls down off of my front windshield
& planted Flowers of all things, around the campsite.
Why, turns out she stayed !!
Now, I gotta take a tub bath once a week
& wear my shirt tail tucked in.
Wish I would have took off for the territory,
I tell you that much !!!
Well, you may have already heard (know) the story !!! ;o)
heh , heh , heh
