 In case you've forgotten, you signed up for this mailing list at luxagraf.net. <https://luxagraf.net/newsletter/>
 
-This is the first time I've actually mailed the list. This is first time I've done much of anything with luxagraf lately. But there is, at last, something of an update. A new entry up for you to read anyway:

+I've been slowly catching up, this letter has two new posts to tell you about:
 
-"We came to Mexico planning hang out, visit family, live cheap, save money, get some projects done. But sawdust in a hurricane has more permanence than our plans, so none of that actually happened."

+I also wrote a thing about waffles for WIRED that proved way more popular than either I or anyone at WIRED thought it would. It turns out we are not the only ones who love a good waffle. Did you know you can make hash browns in a waffle iron? When your bus' oven is broken, you get creative:

+To go with the waffle piece my editors at WIRED asked me if I had a "what's it like to live in a vintage motorhome" sort of thing (WIRED calls it vanlife, close enough I guess). I did actually write a thing like that a long, long time ago but I never published it. So I dusted it off, re-wrote it a bit and put it up. I'm still not entirely satisfied with it, but I had to put it up. Deadlines are a great publishing motivator. If you have thoughts I'd love to hear them:
 
-Plans. I am not so good with those. I had plans to publicly announce this list at some point, but I never have. It's on my todo list anyway. If you know anyone who you think would be interested, feel free to forward them this message or point them to the sign up page: https://luxagraf.net/newsletter/.

-For now I'm going to focus on getting caught up with everything that's happened in the last three months. I've got some stories to tell, like the time we camped next to a lady with two cats, one named asshole and the other named fat bastard. Or the time we went to a chili cookoff with no chili, or the time the brakes went out and I had to stop the bus by ramming a shipping container. That one is still too fresh, still working through that. 
+That piece generated a few comments on the site and in emails with people looking for advice about full time travel and whatnot. That's something I've never really done with luxagraf, it's always been a journal, really more for family and friend than anyone else. With lots of strangers suddenly stopping by and wanting help, asking questions I thought maybe I should add a section with some guides and how tos and reviews. So I'm in the process of doing that in my spare time and will likely have something to share next week.
 
 Stay tuned.
 
+Also, clearly some of you shared this letter with friends because sign ups went nuts after the last letter. There's almost three times as many of you reading this one as the previous one so thank you very much for that, I appreciate it. 
+
+One final note, if you have something to say and you don't want to put it on the site, you can reply to this email directly and only I will see it.
+
+Alrighty then, until next time
