Personally things are moving slowly for me as far as my personal life goes. I am making slow progress on the automobile front (really recovery from stupid tax with lots of dollar signs on it) and getting to a point where I can live peaceably with my mother. The real issue seems that she wants me close enough to call on for help but not in her actual house. The second will not happen until I can afford one of two things: either a different travel trailer (and shelter for it that goes up before it comes in) or a shelter for the travel trailer I was sleeping in earlier this year. Neither is a very low price tag. The trailer I was sleeping in earlier this year is not movable... It has a slideout that cannot be moved back in without severely damaging the slide out or the gasket that keeps it watertight for now. I believe the gasket would disintegrate if we tried to move the slideout. So... not happening. Thus to put a shelter over the thing will probably require a forklift that can lift the pieces into position and a crew of at least myself and one other person plus I don't know if I can put up any sort of shelter for the thing without running afoul of the building codes... Which also applies to a shelter that might go up for any other trailer I might acquire.
With that personal report out of the way, it is my sad misfortune (as well as that of many here I imagine) to be watching the demise of ASSTR. For many years the place to go for a good sex story if you didn't go to SOL was ASSTR. ASSTR had a library that dwarfed the one at SOL, even after major parts of it began to disappear over the last year. For a while I thought perhaps it was a LEO operation that was messing with the site, but I think that if I were to have been running a LEO attack on the site I might have left it alone with various trackers in the background so that it acted as a honey pot. But now it seems to be gone, at least it looks that way to me. Then again, it has staggered along with major outages over the last couple of years and managed to come through with only some holes that a person in the know could navigate around... I do hope that ASSTR continues, but don't have much hope.
