Panzer's Travel Log

[Panzer ‡B§$‡]

Looking back on the whole blamin' thang... A farce in the making honestly.

The original plan was for momma to travel to Amarillo, not I. Only she and her little dog named Shadow were to head to the badlands of old Americonna and well, certain intell come to light at the last minute causing me to change my mind and hence, the travel plans as well.

After a quick loadout, we headed off on what would be year five of breaking bread with the lil Panzer's called "SendMeMoney" and SEND MOHMONIES" Grand Child's parents! This trail can be referred to as? The trail of tears only not in the since of what once honestly was a very ominous life subjugation or systematic slaughter of human life. But in the modern realm, or meaning, pocketbook draining, checkbook devouring! Simply known as the Savings Slim Fast plan! But wait theres more!!!

Shall we break it down to simpler Ira terms.

Because drug addict Sister and her family discovered we were thinking about leaving town they made a veiled threat of burglarizing our home.

Advance Security, home alarm, $1000. Gee sis? Let us known when you-guy's leave and exactly when you get back OK?

One half of the Texas Panz Tribe suddenly calls... Dad? We need $2500 to get a new Air Condition unit for the house. In order for us to.... Blah! Blah! Wrote the check anyways.

By now the groceries are neatly stored away, a gallon of whisky standing by for those all endearing times when one seeks self-medication to the tune of "why the fuck am I here?" "I wanna BE HOME!"

Think KOA campgrounds, the place of wonders and plunders only in the ol" Panz way and tradition! Once we make New Mexico we confront horrid heat combined with high humidity, it was like trying to breath through a Micky Dees extra large biggie straw it seemed that restrictive in overworked lung box. Day one of my upper chest infection I would soon to develop.

$44 a night. This entitles you the bear'er of, cable TV hookup, water, and a place to hook your sewer hose too. WiFi only if your in a hot spot and can get on. I was never on a hot spot. I saw a Starbucks and went over there when I signed on to BSS. Private RV campgrounds usually charge $3.99 for 24 hours. Crock of shit that is huh?

By mid morning our GSD doggard was experiencing Montizumma's Ravenge, as he suddenly and without any remorse blew out a big-assed load on our camper floor! Thinking of Bill Murray right about now and the comical movie "Vacation" Wife Kate on her knees... 0400hrs, scrubbing up noxious loads of... Possibly this was the beginning of the end, as positive vibes can be I guess.

Resulting vet bill? $100 plus meds. Diagnoses? Separation anxiety. Really? By now I was thinking along those same lines as our German Shepherd dog condition. Only I hadn't experienced the shits yet! I asked the vet if he could toss me some of that same stuff he was prescribing to the dog, it didn't go down to well, not like I thought anyway... my intensity always seems to get in the way which makes begging for one's desires and wants a tiresome ordeal. I knew at this point let it go Panz, or the dude will think your attempting to strong arm him out of his drugs! Moving on.

Once we finally arrived, it was well established our married extension family had been fighting, hence, the no hug salutations, smiles that usually accompany such greetings of the human custom kind. As we entered the domicile, that brand new A/C blowing I we bought, just blowing very fine cool air throughout... not even a word mentioned how grateful they were... I could feel the love emulating right then and there. I looked over at Kate and said? Do ya feel it? I sure do!

Probably one of the nicer more positive reasons about traveling to Amarillo Texas is Gander Mountain. A gigantic sportsmens paradise I always save money for had me soon in attendance within the gun department. As this gun department has every known Non-PC weapon of choice on its shelving, I heads straight to the aisle of "You can't haves that in California" Oh! But I can you see said the old gray spider that sat down beside her... Straight to the mini-14 section I did went, the only Mini-14 Tactical carbine available in Texas I could scent! Grabbing such a fine tool brought back memories of 12 years ago. A time back when I made a living with such finality as that strapped to my torso day after day and long into the night. As I mentioned earlier, it is a tool, a tool containing so many good qualities, few even realize such much less appreciate its reliable functionality and durability. Only the one I bought, is the new and much improved version.

If your interested.

After four days of ooohing and gooohing we shoved off to San Antonio Texas for the last portion of our travels. Grand kids are young, unable to understand the complexities of long distance relationships, nor do I I suppose. I will leave it here, as it ends in a period.

Moving on to San Antonio proved hot and extremely muggy making my cough much worse. Our 20 year old air conditioning unit has no temperature control thermostat so all it can do is chug chug chug until one honestly thinks they;ve gotten trapped in a meat locker. Turn it off... Within five minutes the raging heat just outside comes right back trying to overwhelm the fleeting now disappeared cool air environment.

My being sick, to include our dogs not getting along with hers, soon had us on the skids yet again. It was a very long and hard road-trip back to the home-front. Two days is all we managed for all the thousands of miles covered. Once we pulled in to Roswell, New Mexico, I loaded up with contaminated fuel, made it approximately 50 miles out, and the engine quite. After three days of repairs and another $1000, we were finally able to once again get back on the road to home.

It was the trip from hell.

Problem being? Its hard to be humble when your pissed off.

Dumbass number two issue. The Jimmy is equipped with every option the factory could offer... including GM OnStar. All I had to do was activate and agree/purchase a 1 month subscription for $29.95 and had access to immediate tow assistance to include GPS coordinates of my exact location.

But I NEVER thought to try pressing that lil blue OnStar button on the mirror!

<<LOSER>>
