This is Day 2 of “van life”. Day 1 was a bit inconvenient. I got out of work at 6am and drove to the park. Unfortunately, the park did not open until 8am. I drove back to Muskegon and decided to stay at a nearby rest area. I’m not a fan of this one, not a lot of shade in the parking lot. So, for Day 2, I stayed in the Wal Mart parking lot and got a few hours of sleep and then went to the park. Lots of shade and today was a little cooler than yesterday. I have been using a small portable battery to charge my phone and run a fan while I sleep. It almost lasts the entire day. But it falls about an hour short. So, I got out the solar panel and hooked it up to the battery to keep it charged. To my amazement, it did the trick! So, we’ll be using that from now on. Nice addition to the van life.
DELETE PAYEE
I went through my bank account tonight and deleted all the accounts that I would no longer need. City accounts for water bills and taxes. Utility companies got the ax as well. I’m down to just a couple of payees. It felt liberating to get rid of them.
