This couple's annual fuel cost is projected to be $10,656 higher than planned because gas prices are $5 per gallon.

Blimey. That was a long day, for me anyway.

9 hours driving, with a couple of wander-breaks for leg stretching and bites to eat, plus letting the dogs take care of their needs.

Oh, and bush-mechanic an issue with the hydraulic park brake, plus get a whacking great stone out from between the rear dualies, which involved loosening the wheels. All 65 kg of me, bouncing on a breaker bar to loosen the wheel nuts ... 🤣

Still, it beats doing shorter drives everyday, as we can just chill for a couple of days until our son gets here.

Tonight @Kuniti_shino needs to raise $20-$30 to cover EV charging so mizu can go get the SNAP/EBT card from an annoyingly distant county office (counties in this area are pooling services in adjacent counties sometimes).
The Vulpibus also needs fuel, around $180 worth.
The most recent money went to groceries, props for the rest of the solar panels, electronics parts cleaner fluid for the bus engine connections and a sillcock key for ease of water access in towns and cities.

Please send funds to:
PAYPAL https://paypal.me/inaraclocks
or KO-FI https://ko-fi.com/inamruzui as these put the money in the right place for use with EVGo and connected charging networks like Chargepoint.
If you want to donate via other means, please ask, we do have other options.

We have now banded together with other vehicle dwellers to begin to construct our first convoy. It's happening, with your help!
