If and when we do get a Class 3 pickup truck and a Fifth-Wheel trailer in “Early Life And Continuous Livelihood” and we travel to Vermont stay there for a little while in the Fifth-Wheel trailer, these are either of the 2 campgrounds we’d stay at for a month or two.

NASCAR driver Josh Wise is not my cup of tea. I don’t like Josh Wise just as much as one of the many relatives that I loathe-my mother’s younger brother’s son.
Both Josh Wise and my mother’s younger brother’s son are young bald men who don’t mind dressing to the nines, are gracious to their grandparents, are grateful for the relatives that they have, and are happy-go-lucky people. Their minds think alike. They’re like ‘two peas in a pod’.
I also don’t fancy Josh Wise being a NASCAR driver about the here and now, and being nothing like the NASCAR drivers from my time-from the 1970’s through the 1990’s. And Josh Wise not having any clue about how the way things were in NASCAR during that time period.
Josh Wise is also into triathlons, which I don’t like.
Josh Wise and my mother’s younger brother’s son both look as elegant as this bald man playing the piano in the picture below.
Another rear-engine TC/2000.
This one happens to have stainless steel wheel liners fitted to it, which personally do not suit my fancy.
Only the archetypical steel wheels painted black suit my fancy when it comes to a School Bus. Particularly the Dayton wheels and not the Budd wheels.

This single-story house plan would require the modifications of the remaining 2 auxiliary bedrooms to be suited for permanent usage, and the addition of a 4th bedroom.
With these modifications, this house plan would be doable for building a house that my parents, I, and my paternal grandmother would move into together.
This house already has a 3-car garage, and the breezeway connecting the house to the detached garage is pleasing.
In fact, we would prefer a detached garage over an attached garage, but an attached garage is not what you would call a ‘deal breaker’.
These house plans I would be glad to call home. The front porch and the front entryway feel very welcoming.
Of course, these floorplans would need modification to be doable for consideration as a house we’d build to move into with my paternal grandmother. A 4th bedroom for one, and the modification of the garage into a 3-car garage in the case of the 3rd plan to be linked below.
Then again, getting a multi-story home like this wouldn’t be our first choice unless it had an elevator.

An interesting house plan with a hexagonal shape and an indoor courtyard within the center of the ‘hexagon’.
This house has 5 bedrooms (6 if you count the guest suite)
This house plan would be doable in “Early Life And Continuous Livelihood” as a house for my parents, I, and my paternal grandmother to live in together if we had built our own house instead of buying a house that’s already built.
The only modification that I would make to this house plan would be that I would change the garage from being a 2-car garage to a 3-car garage. I am aware of the square footage of this house increasing if I were to change the size of the garage to a 3-car garage.
I would never want to live in a mansion, nevertheless build my own. But here are some Mansion house plans, the stereotypical of home with a elevator built into them; that seem to catch the eye of yours truly.

This young CEO of a pharmaceutical company, Martin Shkreli; who has been arrested by the FBI and is being indebted on charges of securities fraud and released on bail reminds me a lot of NASCAR driver Denny Hamlin.
Martin Shkreli had dropped out of high School, and had later earned credits necessary for his diploma through a program that placed him in an internship at the Wall Street hedge fund Cramer, Berkowitz and Company when he was 17 years old. Even later, he had also performed an act of one-upmanship by donating $1 Million dollars to the High School that he had dropped out of. Some faculty and alumni perceive this donation by Martin Shkreli as a ‘take that’ act of retaliation.
Now you tell me how an immature, High School dropout such as Martin Shkreli had become a CEO of a pharmaceutical company.
Martin Shkreli had also spent $2 million at an auction for an album of weirdo music, is very active on an internet battle arena, and during the aftermath of his testimony before Congress regarding his price hike of the drug Daraprim; Martin Shkreli had even wrote “hard to accept that these imbeciles represent the people in our government”. Immature for a CEO if you ask me. If Martin Shkreli would want to know something, he is the one who is the imbecilic person and not the members of Congress who he had to testify in front of.
Martin Shkreli should be forced to listen to Adult Contemporary, Jazz; and Easy Listening Music. And Martin Shkreli should be transported on a School Bus.
Not only does Martin Shkreli look like Denny Hamlin, he also seems to act like Denny Hamlin. Both have an equally flamboyant personality.
Of course, Denny Hamlin lives in a fancy mansion, drives a Lexus LS; and has an (icky, yucky) Basketball court on his property.
Even these photos depict just how much of a loggerhead Martin Shkreli is:

I would also transform actors Josh Holloway, Justin Hartley, and Eric Martsolf from being fit and muscular to being fat and overweight.
Josh Holloway should be barred from playing any icky, yucky Basketball and icky, yucky Soccer.
Eric Martsolf should be barred from playing any icky, yucky sports; period, and end of story.

Let’s get on the topic of Justin Hartley.
Let’s get on the topic of Eric Martsolf.
Phil McGraw has had Canadian musician David Foster as a guest on his talk show a few times before.
Of more importance is when Mazda had used one of David Foster’s songs for one of their commercials in Japan in 1984, and when David Foster had hosted the CBC Television program Good Rockin’ Tonight in the 1980’s. I think that David Foster’s appearance on Phil McGraw’s talk show pales in importance when compared to these happenings of David Foster’s during the 1980’s.
Another Blue Bird conventional style School Bus on the GM chassis & cowl.
As I have stated in earlier posts, I am not fond of the GM chassis & cowl, and the GM chassis & cowl was not as trustworthy as the Ford B-Series and International chassis & cowls were.
The person who had composed this listing on Public Surplus has stated that the engine is a V6. That person couldn’t be more wrong, as the engine is an inline-6. V means that the cylinder bank is a “V” shaped form, while an inline engine consists of a cylinder bank where the cylinders are straight across in an inline form.
The last time a V6 diesel was ever offered in the School Bus market was the problematic GM ToroFlow diesel engine, a version of the GMC V6 engine converted to a diesel. This was in the 1960’s and early 1970’s.

If we were to have an RV in “Early Life And Continuous Livelihood”, we would have a Class 3 single-rear-wheel or dual-rear wheel pickup truck and a Fifth-Wheel trailer.
The Fifth-Wheel trailer is suitable for traveling very occasionally and wanting to park the RV in a certain spot for a little while and use it as a moving cottage, is far homier and roomier than any motorhome of an identical size due to not having to factor in the driver’s compartment; and having to build the coach on a standard truck or bus chassis. The cost to title, register, plate, and insure a conventional travel trailer or a Fifth-Wheel trailer is also vastly less than any Motorhome, as is the case in the State of Michigan.
A simpler way to put it is that a motorhome is not designed and intended to be parked for a while in a single spot, be used as a moving cottage; and to be used very infrequently. A motorhome is designed for moving from one place to another frequently, and for frequent overall usage.
In our case, we’d use the Fifth-Wheel trailer mostly for planting a cottage at our campsite in Vermont for a little while, while we visit Marie “Mimi”, Mary Ann, and their family; and my paternal grandmother has ample time to visit with her eldest sibling and her eldest niece/goddaughter.
Another reason as to why we’d have an RV is to have our own surroundings and our own belongings with us while we’d rarely travel.
In fact, the hominess in the Fifth-Wheel trailer is a verbatim to the hominess in our large house on a vast amount of property.
The length of 36-40 feet would suit the 5 of us (my parents, myself, my sister; and my paternal grandmother) very well while we’d temporarily reside inside of the Fifth-Wheel trailer.
We would buy a brand-new Newmar or Travel Supreme Fifth-Wheel trailer. The Fifth-Wheel trailer would have a floorplan that consists of 2 bedrooms, and possibly; 2 bathrooms.
We would buy either a Ford or a GM GMT400 Class 3 pickup as either 2-wheel-drive with a locking or limited slip differential or 4-wheel-drive, a Crew Cab with the center-band two-tone paint job that we like, and either the Red or Blue interiors.
Just like with the diesel Suburban, I would always be sitting in the middle of the front bench seat next to my paternal grandmother in the front passenger seat and whichever one of my parents is driving at the moment, Marie “Mimi, Mary Ann; and all 5 of her children would have to sit in the backseat at all times while they’d be transported in this truck, Shari Lewis, her daughter Mallory, and her sister-in-law Judith Krantz would, at one time; be transported in this truck, sitting in the backseat; and Marc Brown and his sisters would also, at one time; be transported in this truck, sitting in the backseat. Rick Steves would also be transported in this pickup truck at one time or another, and he too, would be sitting in the backseat.
The premise of buying our house on a vast amount of property that we move into with my paternal grandmother together would be that we’d rarely, if ever at all; go on vacations together as a family, we’d never have a cabin cruiser boat or a vacation home/cottage; and only my paternal grandmother would go on her vacations around the world. Getting an RV (such as the Class 3 pickup truck and the Fifth-Wheel trailer) would have only been about 10% probable and likely in this scenario.
The other premise of buying our house on a vast amount of property would be that my father has a shorter commute to his work while my mother has a longer and lengthier commute to her work as a School Bus driver.
The Class 3 pickup truck also isn’t as rare as the diesel Suburban, the diesel 2-door Tahoe; and a diesel Full-Size van all are.
Either way, the diesel Suburban, the diesel 2-door Tahoe, if we purchased a diesel Full-Size Van in lieu of the diesel Suburban, and if we bought this Class 3 pickup truck and a Fifth-Wheel trailer would be vehicles that we intend on holding onto for a long, long time. Well into the time in the future where the diesel Suburban, the diesel 2-door Tahoe; and a diesel Full-Size van would each become rare collectibles. And well into the time in the future where GM B-platform station wagons and any vehicle built on the Ford Panther would become collectibles.
We’d still purchase the older Class 6 Medium-Duty truck as either a Box Truck or a Flatbed to haul things occasionally, even if we did purchase the Class 3 pickup truck and a Fifth-Wheel trailer.
The Ford Class 3 pickup truck from this time:
This is either one of the two interior colors we’d get if we bought the Ford pickup: Blue (pictured below) or Red.
The GM Class 3 truck from this time:
One that has been customized, but has the OEM/factory paint job that we like:
This is either one of the two interior colors we’d get if we bought the Ford pickup: Red or Blue.
Dodge, at the time; did not offer a Crew Cab (they haven’t offered a Crew Cab since 1985 and won’t offer a Crew Cab again until 2006); but they did offer the center-band two-tone paint job that we like, at this time.
