This week, it finally happened.

After months of sourcing electrical components and learning how to wire them together without killing anybody, WE HAVE A WORKING POWER SYSTEM FOR OUR CAMPER TRAILER.

See, as soon as possible, we are going on the road. FULL TIME on the road. With a family of 5, two dogs, and a snail.

And, we work on the internet. So for many reasons, electricity is pretty crucial.

Turns out there’s a lot of highly confusing shit in the world of electrical wiring. Things that don’t make sense, parts that look like they should be compatible and absolutely aren’t, and the price of being wrong could be turning your tiny home on wheels into a fiery ball of death.

Well, we now have a rooftop full of solar panels. Those solar panels elegantly feed into a cabinet loaded with boxes I barely understand that Max (husband) lovingly put together. Things like adapters and smart shunts and terminals and all sorts of hoozie-whatsits.

But the most wonderful thing is that now, as we are hitting 96 degree summer days, that little camper has a working AC unit powered by the sun. With that thing running, stepping into that camper feels like stepping into an icy shopping mall. Fucking fantastic.

AND NOW!

Social media sites are notorious for only selectively showing you posts by the people you follow, so for you dear subscriber, I like to gather up all the week’s posts for you in one easy place. Here you go!

“Footloose” parody— a song about loose women and the porno life

“Hallelujah” parody — a song about your friendly neighborhood hooker

“I Want it That Way” parody — a song to send to your gay buddies

“Ring of Fire” parody — my ‘whoops wrong hole’ classic

“John Brown’s Body” parody — a song about gloryholes. Glory Glory hole-elujah!

Anyway, that’s all for now. I will write again next week with songs, stories, and updates.

But it’s not over for paid subscribers! Below the fold, you guys are going to get quite the treat. Sometimes, a song is so ripe for parody that I come up with MANY different versions. Well, you will see an 80s classic where I got six.

See you down below!
