To be honest, change of clothes, no phone, no wallet – that would beat the pantry for me. But then, just about anything beats any kind of housecleaning!
Come on Jimbo, you got to kick-start your day. You can’t let Vicki hog the day’s fun alone can you? Just think of the thrill of the open road and new places to see. The where doesn’t matter to a true free spirit, you just go.
I don’t believe jumping around all day as a wild child with nowhere to go and no money beats the comforts of home. Good choice Jumbo, unless you have a driver to have a Salon Day and plenty of money for such a luxury.
Though it’s not for everyone, hitting the road with nothing taught me a lot about myself and the world. I’ve gone places with just a backpack and a thumb. I wouldn’t trade my life and times for anything.
In past lives I’ve had jobs where I would get notified with a day or less notice that I was needed in some part of the world for a couple of weeks (or months) to sort out some emergency. Do it enough and you get used to it, and sort of crave it. So I can totally relate to the second panel.

NEVER have your husband help with anything like cleaning the pantry!!
Back in March went through the closet in the kitchen which serves as our pantry to see what was in there to get us through stay at home, over the years we had become lazy about cooking except when it was snowing out, was only cooking 4 nights a week (lunches and weekend dinners out and late night snack as our third meal). In addition meals had become repetitive – Monday night hotdogs for him, chicken patty for me…
I started finding out we had so many things I had forgotten about (some of which – like Bisquick dated 2017 he made me toss out – but not until several months later when food had returned to the supermarket and he knew we would not starve as he had feared – something which never occurred to me) in corn for popcorn alone we could eat for several weeks. It is all organized again, though with his panic shopping most of what we bought that did not have to be kept cold is stacked & filling our dining table and 4 large plastic boxes, plus the pantry being full. He had to see each item and hear about it – he is, or at least was, a better cook than me and his not knowing what items were or what they for worries me a bit. Unfortunately his idea of organizing in general is for everything to be out for him to see.
A month or so in, our downstairs bathroom sink hot water faucet starting leaking and the shut off under the sink did not work and he to go to the basement and shut it off. He asked me what the box of soup down there was for. Our emergency supplies! Had forgotten about them. Too bad they were good to 2005 – but we kept them “just in case”. This means I have not done the cooking demos for our reenactment unit since before 2005. I used to switch our emergency gallon bottles of water with the ones I bought for the unit for events to keep them current and check the other emergency supplies – soup cans, PB, so I have not cooked for the unit since before these went past date.

Have we ever seen an alter ego for Jimbo? Does he have one?

I could probably handle having Vicki around if only I could count on some warning when she’s about to emerge.

Rearranging the Pantry is for those Dank and Storming when going outside is taking your life in your hands.

Don’t rearrange the pantry. You’ll never find anything again.

I was actually considering rearranging my pantry. Guess I need to channel my inner Vicki. ;-)

Better yet, Rose should tell Jimbo to keep his wallet, but leave his undies.

How would “Vicky’s” plan work? I can’t see Jimbo riding bitch and he does not have his own HD Hog.

Hmmm, that alter ego is one high busted lady. How about no clothes – and forget the pantry?

No wallet? Does her Hawg come with that new Cornucopia® gas tank?

Vickie is a LOT of Fun, but sometimes she can be downright Scary.

No phone, maybe. No wallet? Gonna need money before the change of clothes. Food & gas at least.
GiantShetlandPony about 4 years ago
Gonna be a short trip without a wallet. That said, who says Jimbo chose clean the pantry? He just needs a moment to get up off the floor.
Lately I’ve had to choose more on the lines of rearrange the pantry projects this vacation and I’m running out of time.
