Sharon and I have decided to skip the October rally at SAL (Lake San Antonio).  We are just not ahead enough financially to feel comfortable taking a 200 mile trip.  Part of it is the cost of the trip, but we also have to take time off.  We really cannot afford the time off, even if we have the money for the trip.  Each day we take off is a zero income day. 

When the budget gets tight, you do what you have to in order to correct the problem.  We never know when we will get ahead or fall behind.  Ebay is an interesting way to make money.  We have fast and famine times. 

Our sole income has been Ebay since October of 1998.  Overall it has really been good to us, but at times we just fall behind.

The current price for falling behind is no camping for a while.
