The calm before the storm

Sometimes it feels like we get all caught up in some drama, then there is calm. Last week we were in a panic about the Dodge. The electrical short was all consuming. Then we were frantic about tires. There really aren't many good used tires here in this area of North Carolina. So it became a matter of where we would buy new tires. Just one drama after another.
Fortunately the shocks for the Dodge were a no-brainer. Long past due, we were able to parlay a few vintage trailer parts on e-bay to purchase the skyjacker shocks. The Dodge is tight and responsive once again
As we are relaxed, ready to load the Coachmen Catalina with stuff to take north, we have time to take another look at the current drama that is always just under the surface--financial income on the road.
Our friend Nick has just published another Kindle book Work Your way Across the USA available on Amazon. For $2.99, it is a book we will be reading this summer. We will also be looking very closely at workamper opportunities like Amazon seasonal as well as a few other paid positions at various resorts / campgrounds.
We are exploring various ways we can have the internet work for us. There are on-line tutors, opinion polls, reviews / critical commentary and a host of writing for XXX. We believe that the majority of our income has to be derived from the internet while we are in the road. We have looked at several sites like Workamper and think there are some really great positions out there once we are full-time. But we are trying to be mobile as much as possible and be self-employed as our major source of income.
So as we enjoy the calm, or is it just the eye of the storm, we have time to search and be as diligent as possible about financing and employment.
