Shore Power & RV Life

I spent seven months living in an RV parked in an industrial yard in Utah, plugged into a power pedestal with daisy-chained extension cords. By day I turned wrenches at a trucking company. At night and on the weekends I tried to build two other lives in the same small space - writing agentic AI systems for Nexus Compute and running a hemp shop called utgreen shop downtown.

There was no trash service. The AC failed in the 100-degree heat. The power plug melted and caught fire. Food had to fit in a half-size fridge. Sleep competed with code. Church on Sundays was the one fixed point that kept the rest from coming apart.

This is not a story about the romance of RV life. It's about what it actually costs to keep several versions of yourself moving when the only constant is limited space, limited power, and limited energy. It's about the mechanic job that paid the bills, the AI project that refused to die, the hemp shop that taught me how unpredictable people can be, and the quiet decision that eventually had to be made about how long the experiment could last.

Shore Power & RV Life is the record of those seven months - the heat, the work, the code written, and the slow accumulation of what the setup both gave and took.
