Morning Reflection on RV Slide and Adaptation Philosophy

rswfire records a morning transmission from his RV, making his bed in the alcove created by his broken slide that has been inoperative for eight months. He explains that volunteers at the park have been gossiping about his sleeping situation and trying to solve his 'problems,' but he clarifies that he prefers the slide retracted for efficiency and stability reasons. The broken slide created additional storage space above, which he values. He describes his sleeping setup using three bed toppers and considers getting a kid-sized mattress, though his mother told him they're the same size as adult mattresses. He's currently sleeping on his back due to fresh piercings in his ears and eyebrow. rswfire explains his adaptation philosophy - focusing on removing inefficiency rather than maximizing comfort, which differs from most people's approach. He recounts an encounter from the previous day while walking to the lake in the rain, where a man followed him for half a mile, approached him at the dock, but could only manage a tiny 'hi' before continuing on. rswfire reflects on ongoing sinus issues since January, theorizing they may be related to the dunes region where he's been volunteering. He mentions this is his last day of volunteer work for the week and expresses curiosity about whether leaving the dunes area will resolve his sinus problems.

Starting Caretaker Role at Oregon Dunes Work Center

rswfire begins his first day as a caretaker at the Oregon Dunes work center, describing his new role cleaning bathrooms and delivering supplies to campgrounds. He lives in a shed at the work center and is building a campfire pit by hand. **Walking two miles to visit friend Bill** at Driftwood campground to get soda, since his Jeep has no gas or insurance. **Provides detailed tour** of the Siuslaw corridor, explaining the three campgrounds: Lagoon (where he first stayed after being kicked out of Honeyman), Driftwood (ATV campground where he lived for four months), and Wax Myrtle (his favorite, currently closed for winter). Describes his progression through these locations over six months as a volunteer. **Reflects on institutional trust** after the Honeyman rupture, noting he's built an archive of that situation and has learned to respect the Forest Service while maintaining boundaries around institutional coupling. **Financial crisis looming** - Jeep faces repossession in less than a week with no clear solution, though he's pursuing potential work with an aligned person. **Emphasizes life alignment** despite precarious circumstances, stating he's following his own signal and building a sustainable life outside consensus reality. Describes his role as simple maintenance work he genuinely enjoys, contrasting it with his previous institutional betrayal experience.
